Looking for a way to enjoy pumpkin pie without all the empty calories? Chia seed pudding blended with the goodness of canned pumpkin and a plethora of pumpkin pie spices create the magical flavor — without all the fat, sugar and calories. We love the dreamy orange color, especially when paired with a dollop of whipped topping.
Another delectable dessert made lighter and healthier. Strawberry cheesecake gets a makeover — chia seed pudding style. Chock-full of protein and flavor thanks to Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, minus the added fat and calories of the dessert version. The fresh berries add fresh flavor and pretty pink color to the pudding and make a delicious garnish.
This chocolate lover's delight is so simple to make and it only contains four ingredients. Dark chocolate almond milk creates a rich, chocolatey base for the chia seeds to soak up and almond and coconut finish off the recipe with sweet, nutty flavor and crunch.
Food-grade lavender adds an unexpected and whimsical flavor to the tart pop of the blueberries. The pair marries nicely with full-fat coconut milk, sweetened only with dates. The result is a beautiful lilac-hued chia seed pudding with a fruity, floral flavor you just have to taste.
While a bit more labor-intensive, this vegan, key lime pie chia seed pudding makes an excellent dessert when you're entertaining and are looking out for guests' dietary restrictions. Avocado and key lime juice add to the gorgeous green color to this coconut-based dessert. Coconut whipped cream or aquafaba meringue (frothed chickpea liquid) make decadent vegan topping options.
