Gingerbread Chia Seed Pudding

This Gingerbread Chia Pudding is one of my favorite ways to celebrate the holiday season! It tastes just like my favorite gingerbread cookies for breakfast, but with 22 grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber in every serving. The pudding is so good on its own, but the creamy white chocolate yogurt truly takes it to another level. I like to prep a big batch at the beginning of the week to have a healthy breakfasts ready to go on busy mornings. Every bite is full of creamy, sweet, gingerbread spice white chocolate goodness!

Notes

Use 2-2 1/2 teaspoons gingerbread spice in place of the individual spices if you want!
Want a lower calorie version that's still high in protein? Omit the white chocolate chips/coconut oil and cookie topping (just add vanilla Greek yogurt on top instead). You can also omit the molasses if desired.
