Notes
Note 1 - Milk
Use milk of your preference. Nutrition information based off cows milk.
Note 2 - Pumpkin Puree
In Australia, you can find this at some Coles in the international section. You can make your own, but we have different pumpkins here so it'll taste a little different to the traditional pumpkin puree flavour known and loved by those in America.
Note 3 - Protein Powder
Either Vanilla, Caramel or Neutral. Substitute with equal amounts flour if not using. You could also mix it up with a peanut butter or chocolate flavour to give this pumpkin chia pudding a bit of a different flavour.
Storing
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5-7 days.
