Roasted Pumpkin Chia & Hemp Seed Pudding

This is a very simple and quick snack to put together, you literally add almost every ingredient after roasting your pumpkin into a blender and voila, it comes together nicely. This recipe would be best made in the evening and refrigerating it overnight. Itβs perfect for those mornings youβre running late & need a quick bite on the go or for those days you need a little snack; πππππππ πππππππ & ππππ ππππ ππππ πππππππ. I also added Ancient Nutrition collagen to each serving but thatβs optional, you can omit it.
For this recipe, you can use either roasted pumpkin or a squash like kabocha or even butternut squash, they both have a sweetness and nutty flavor. Whatever you decide to use, I do highly recommend taking the time to roast your pumpkin, it seriously takes this recipe to a different level. You will only need 1.5 cups for this recipe, save the rest of the pumpkin for other recipes.
This isnβt a very sweet pudding but you can add as much sweetener as you prefer. Also, Iβm not a fan of gritty chia pudding and for that reason, I use my Vitamix blender to blend everything. If the chia seed texture doesnβt bother you, you donβt have to blend it, just stir them into your mixture. I also recommend refrigerating your pudding over night however, if you canβt wait that long, refrigerate for at least an hour before eating them. This gives enough time for the chia seeds to soften up.
Note: I used the small 8oz mason jars and this recipe gave me 5 servings.
