pumpkin chia seed pudding

simple breakfasts are crucial on weekdays.

with lunches to pack, forms to sign and library books to return, i rely and thrive on the simple.

simple doesn't have to mean boring either, a little forethought the night before and breakfast can be delicious, healthy and ready in minutes seconds.

today it just so happened to be my favourite chia pudding, made appropriate for fall with the addition of pumpkin & 'pumpkin-like' spices

simple breakfasts for the win.

xo.
