Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding

This is what I love to make when I have part of a can of pumpkin left over. I can throw it together fast and let it sit overnight in the fridge so that it's ready the next morning for me to take as dessert with my lunch. :)
Ingredients
2 cups unsweetened original almond milk
1 cup  canned pumpkin
3-4 tbsp raw honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp ginger powder
1/4 tsp allspice
4-6 TBS chia seeds (depending on how thick you want it)
whipped cream, optional
chopped walnuts, optional

Instructions
Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Transfer to a container with a lid and store in the fridge overnight. When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and chopped walnuts.

Adapted from Savory Lotus.

I put mine into individual glass jars so that I can grab them and throw them in my lunchbox easily. The recipe above makes 3 servings so be sure to double it if you plan to have it prepped to take with you!
