Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ
Is this Pumpkin Pie Spice Chia Seed Pudding Recipe suitable for meal prep? (plus storage)
Yes! You can make this for the week and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Making it a convenient grab-and-go option.
Can I freeze chia seed pudding?
It is not recommended to freeze chia seed pudding because it will change the texture and mess up the overall consistency of the pudding. So it is best to make enough for the week and just store it in the fridge.
How long does the pudding need to chill before it’s ready to be enjoyed?
This pumpkin spice pudding needs to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight (preferably) to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and achieve that creamy desired consistency.
Can I use a different type of milk instead of coconut milk?
Absolutely! Feel free to use any milk you like. Dairy milk or plant-based milk both will work the same. Some of my faves are whole milk, soy milk, cashew milk, or even oat milk.
What is the difference between black chia seeds and white chia seeds?
The difference between the two is very minimal, they both have the same taste and pretty much the same nutritional benefits. The main difference will be the appearance. The white chia seeds are slightly rarer, and often preferred for aesthetic reasons in some recipes.
Do I have to use store-bought pumpkin puree or can I use homemade pure pumpkin puree?
Either one will work great in this recipe. Whatever you have on hand will make a delicious pumpkin chia seed pudding. Just make sure to stick to real pumpkin puree and not the pumpkin pie filling.
What toppings go well with this Pumpkin Pie Spice Chia Seed Pudding Recipe?
Some of my favorites include almond butter, granola, seeds, dried fruits, coconut flakes, banana slices, a drizzle of maple syrup or even a dollop of whipped cream (coconut whip to keep it DF) to make it super indulgent. Now a sprinkle of ground cinnamon will pretty much be the cherry on top and turn this into the most delicious fall breakfast ever!
