Chef Kyle’s Pumpkin Spice Chia Pudding
Hi friends! Hope you’re having a great afternoon. It’s been a wonderful week so far: a happy and euphoric blur, snuggling our newest family member as days blend into night. We’re hoping to head home from the hospital later today. Fingers crossed. 🙂 This week, I have some special posts going up while we’re getting settled. This pumpkin chia seed pudding recipe is courtesy of my brother Kyle. Many of you already know he’s an amazingly talented young chef.
Kyle is currently working as the Chef de Cuisine at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA and has been in the culinary industry for seven years. He created the farm to table concept at the cafe at Canyon Ranch, and can often be found foraging, harvesting, and catching ingredients for each nightly special.
He takes a lot of pride in sourcing local and organic food whenever possible, and manages to make healthy cuisine taste luscious and decadent. His food is INCREDIBLE, and I often text him for recipe inspiration or ideas… especially if he posts something on social media that we need to recreate. When he posted this pumpkin chia pudding, I knew I wanted to share it with you all. He kindly gave me the recipe 🙂

This sounds wonderful!!
Kyle has some incredible tattoos! I love the detailing on them. I know this has nothing to do with this blog post, but they all stuck out to me. I love that you’re having guest posters all week!
The garnish makes it look amazing!
ooooh yum! I will definitely have to give this a try!!
There’s no pumpkin in it? So the pumpkin flavor is just from the spices? Sounds delicious- I love chia pudding!
It didn’t list it in the ingredients but in the directions it says to stir in pumpkin puree 🙂
I love the garnish on this. Very fancy and unexpected, but I love it. Hope you get to go home today!
This looks delicious and so fancy — love it! I also love your top in the first picture. Can you share the details?? Congratulations on Baby P!
Delish! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I ended up making it last night after seeing the post and enjoyed it this morning as a late breakfast/early lunch after my green smoothie. I sliced banana on top of mine 🙂 Great fall breakfast!
Oh yum! I love chia pudding and I’ve been obsessed with pumpkin spice lately so this is a perfect recipe for my cravings! Thank you!
