Paleo Pumpkin Protein Pudding Recipe

Paleo Pumpkin Protein Pudding Recipe

Call me basic (or basically AWESOME! ???? ), but I can’t help my obsession with pumpkin pie flavored EVERYTHING in the Fall. I know, I know…But hear me out because this recipe is a delicious way to sneak some extra protein, pumpkin pie flavor, and overall power into our day! Talk about #winning! Also, chia seeds are little powerhouses, as an excellent source of fiber, omega-3 fats, protein, antioxidants, minerals, and other nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium…Whew! Not satisfied?

Good! Because there’s more!

Did you know the gel that forms around the chia seeds when they’re wet (due to soluble fiber) can actually work as a prebiotic in the gut? Prebiotics support the growth of essential probiotics and good bacteria in the gut, aiding in overall digestive health. We love them. We need them. So, whether you enjoy this protein pudding as a part of your breakfast, snack or post-workout recovery, you’ll be sure to benefit in more ways than one!
