When I was pregnant I balanced many healthy foods with a daily dose of some type of chocolate. I basically am still doing that, but decided to kick it up a notch. Instead of having my small piece of dark chocolate, I decided to make some of my pumpkin chia pudding. I still get my dose of chocolate, but I’m also getting some other important nutrients from the pumpkin and chia seeds. I also love to sprinkle some cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips on top. I am also a huge fan of eating this as a meal. If I do that I take a larger serving and also add in some almond butter and granola.
You’ll notice in this recipe, I use very minimal sugar and use almond milk to reduce the calories from whole or skim milk. This is truly a no guilt snack or meal!
I love Silk Pure Almond Unsweetened because it’s
- 30 low calories which are less than half the calories of skim
- Smooth and delicious – no need to sacrifice taste for less calories
- Versatile and easy to integrate into a number of healthy beverage and eating choices
Pumpkin doesn’t only have to be eaten in the fall. This chia pudding satisfies your sweet tooth while given you a healthy dose of omega 3’s and antioxidants! The chia seeds and pumpkin make this a super food snack!
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix very well with a whisk, making sure to get all clumps out. Let set for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Calories saved from using skim milk is 15.

Looks delicious! I make a similar pumpkin pudding but normally use vanilla protein powder vs. the chocolate. Will have to try that sometime!
mmm love pumpkin chia puddings
Just printed the recipe! I’m totally going to try this!
Oh, yum!! I am seriously making this tomorrow. I have about a 1/2 cup of leftover pumpkin waiting to be used, and all other ingredients on hand. Thanks, Nicole!
