I saw a recipe on the main forums containing pumpkin , chia, almond milk and spices. However i'm not sure where chia and pumpkin fit in theis plan since they are not on the list. I love pumpkin so i thought the pumpkin chia pudding sounded great!

How much is in your recipe? There are 12g of carbs in 1 cup of mashed pumpkin. Most people aren't going to eat 1 cup at a time.0

Here is the recipe. I'm thinking maybe count it as a carb?
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
3 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 almond milk + extra almond milk
Stevia to taste (I put a little bit of maple syrup instead)
1 tsp cinnamon
Dash nutmeg
Mix all ingredients together. Wait for it to gel, stirring every few moments. As you go, eyeball it to see how much extra almond milk it needs. It may need a few tablespoons; it may need 1/3 cup more. It’s hard to predict! As soon as the texture matches what you like, the pudding is ready to serve. Add in some berries or any fruits you like.0 -
1/2 cup would be 6 grams... so you might be able to fit it in on a low carb day. I try to stay under 90 grams on low carb days.0
