Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup milk any milk, including plant based - soya, rice or almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup fresh pumpkin or use 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
  • tiny pinch salt
  • 2-3 teaspoons maple syrup date or rice syrup is also fine to use or sugar

Instructions
 

  • Put the chia seeds in the milk and leave overnight in the fridge to soak. This helps to soften the chia seeds and makes them easier to digest.
  • In the morning add all the other ingredients - pumpkin puree, maple syrup, tiny pinch of salt, pumpkin pie spice.
  • Mix everything together with a fork (if you want your chia seeds to stay intact) or blend the mixture in a handheld blender until all ingredients are smoothy mixed.
  • Taste and add adjust the flavour to your liking. I sometimes add more pumpkin puree or extra maple syrup.
