Pumpkin Chai Chia Pudding
This post was made in collaboration with Kite Hill Foods & Safeway. As always, all opinions expressed are my own.
Autumn skies and pumpkin pies! I'm getting into the Fall season spirit with this Pumpkin Chai Chia Pudding featuring Kite Hill Foods.
Since going fully plant-based, Kite Hill has been a great alternative to dairy versions of my favorite foods. I love that Kite Hill is about great-tasting food without compromise. I love that it's a great plant-based alternative yogurt. It's also non-GMO, gluten- and dairy-free, and it's made from artisanal almond milk made in-house and has no artificial flavors or preservatives.
It's great that my local Safeway King Street location carries Kite Hill products, especially the 5.3 oz & 16oz Almond Milk Yogurt. This Pumpkin Chai Chia Pudding is the perfect simple healthy fall dessert! Mixed up in minutes and NO COOKING required, you will love how easy and delicious this simple dessert recipe is.
If you're looking for a delicious, dessert-life breakfast, this Pumpkin Chai Chia Pudding with walnuts and pomegranate doubles as a dessert.
