Yields 1 serving of Keto Pumpkin Protein Chia Pudding
The Preparation
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop (~1 ounce) vanilla protein powder*
- 1 tablespoon allulose

* If using unflavored protein powder, you can add in 1/2 teaspoon additional vanilla extract and sweeten to taste.
The Execution
1. Gather and prep all ingredients.
2. Add all ingredients to a bowl or container.
3. Mix the ingredients together well. Try to make sure no lumps of pumpkin puree or protein powder are left.
