Thanksgiving may be over now, but it’s still November and I’m still thinking about recipes with pumpkin, especially this pumpkin mocha chia protein pudding! Not gonna lie, I pretty much use pumpkin all year round because I love it so much.

This time, however, I decided to change it up a little. Instead of using the pumpkin in a baked good, I opted to use it in a chia pudding. I love chia pudding, and I really need to make it more often. It’s simple, extremely healthy, and of course delicious.

There are two layers. The chocolate cappuccino/mocha layer, and the cinnamon pumpkin layer. For the mocha l added some instant espresso powder and melted chocolate. Of course, in the pumpkin layer, I added some pumpkin.

 

To add protein to it all, and to enhance the delicious coffee flavor, I used my Ascent cappuccino flavored Native Fuel whey protein. They just released it this month and it is certainly one of my new favorite flavors.

 

If you are still in the fall spirit, or just love pumpkin is much as me, then this recipe is for you! You can’t beat a delicious dessert packed with protein, fiber, and nutrients all in one.
