Benefits of Pumpkin Chia Pudding

When I’m craving a pumpkin-y dessert, this is my go-to. I love that this treat is something my kids genuinely enjoy, but what makes me love it even more is knowing that every delicious bite is giving their growing bodies so many amazing health benefits. That means so much to me as a mom. Here are just some of the benefits of my simple pumpkin chia pudding:

Chia Seeds: High in Omega-3s; high fiber; reduce inflammation
Honey: High in antioxidants; antimicrobial; cancer-fighting properties
Pure Pumpkin: High in vitamins A & C; packed with beta-carotene; supports skin and eye health

Optimize health benefits by using organic Pumpkin puree in a BPA-free can when possible. Raw, unfiltered honey is wonderful too, especially if you can purchase it from your local farmers’ market.

A note on Soy: while any milk will work for this recipe, I regularly drink organic soy milk for cancer prevention. Studies show that soy intake may improve overall survival and reduce recurrence rates for certain types of cancers. I prefer Trader Joe’s Organic Unsweetened Soy Milk!
