Well hello there! What a week I have had! We welcomed our baby girl, Avri, into the world last Thursday and life has been a beautiful whirlwind ever since. Throughout my entire pregnancy I couldn’t picture my life with actually having her out of my belly and had no expectations of what it would be like. But I can honestly say, the last week has been absolutely one of the best weeks of my life. I could have never imagined how much she would change my life and immediately become my entire world. We are absolutely smitten with her and most of our days are spent just staring at her. I will be working on a third trimester recap and Avri’s birth story posts to fill you all in on the last months of pregnancy and her arrival. Stay tuned! In the meantime, come hangout with us on instagram. I have been sharing some behind the scenes of being home with a newborn, juggling nursing, getting in healthy meals and of course adorable baby pictures.
Now that it is September I am officially in fall mode! Fall is my favorite season and I feel pretty lucky to be able to do all my fall favorite activities with my new little family this year. I am kicking September off with a fall inspired recipe. This recipe makes a pretty big batch and is incredibly simple to make. Once you have the pudding made, simply divide it into mason jars and add your toppings and you will have breakfast ready to go for the week!
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 1 15 oz pumpkin puree
- 1 cup cashew milk
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- ½ cup chia seeds
- optional toppings: fresh fruit, nuts, nut butter, ground flax seed, granola, etc
- Add all ingredients except for the chia seeds and your toppings of choice to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer pudding mixture to a large airtight container and mix in the chia seeds. Cover and place in the fridge overnight.
- Create your bowl by adding your desired amount of pumpkin chia seed pudding to a bowl and add your toppings.
- Enjoy!
