I love pumpkin spice anything, and I love how this pudding is not too sweet! This recipe is full of goodness and chia seeds lend a nice dose of fiber!

Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup chia seeds
2 cups canned full fat coconut milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Are those numbers for the nutritional analysis for 1 serving or for the total 4 servings? I am wondering if and how this will affect blood sugar and if it is still good for type 1 diabetic? I need snack ideas for almost 15 year old girl who is always hungry. I ordered the cookbook already. Thank you
Michelle – thank you for reaching out. <3 It's per serving. It is higher in carbs from the pumpkin and honey, but also high in fat, so if you are concerned, you may not want to try this recipe. You could also have her eat some extra protein on the side to help balance it out.
This is yummy! Only used two tablespoons of honey and it was still great!
LMW = thank you so much for sharing! I am glad you enjoyed it. <3
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of coconut milk? I’m not a fan…
Katarina – thank you for reaching out. I would not recommend using greek yogurt. Dairy is a very common food sensitivity in those with Hashimoto’s. If you cannot tolerate coconut milk, you can use another nut milk such as cashew milk. The pudding may not be as thick as it would be with the coconut milk. I hope that helps.
Is there an alternative you can recommend for the coconut milk for a tree nut allergic child? We have to avoid gluten, dairy, soy, egg and tree nut. Thank you!
Jenna – thank you for reaching out. My heart goes out to you and your child. <3 If they cannot tolerate coconut milk, you can try another milk of choice, such as tigernut milk or camels milk. Here is an article you might find interesting:
