The Best Keto Chia Pudding!

  • So simple to make only 2 ingredients in unsweetened!
  • Chia seeds are high in fiber and omega 3 fatty acids.
  • You can create your own with great mix in’s and variations.

How To Make Keto Chia Seed Pudding-Step by Step

  1. Choose a base for your chia seed pudding. You have so many options. I used macadamia nut milk, but any nut milk will work. To add, coconut milk will work as well along with heavy cream.
  2. Once you choose your base, for a single portion you will need 8 ounces.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to that cup. The pudding will look very thin at this point but give it time. The longer it sits the thicker it gets. Also, if using something with a high fat content such as coconut milk or heavy cream your final result will be thicker as well.
  4. Cover then place in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight. Try mixing the chia seeds after an hour. So they they can form all over and not just the bottom of the bowl.

Why Overnight?

Making chia pudding overnight to have for breakfast is great because it gives the chia seeds time to thicken. They are a very powerful thickening agent and the longer it sits the more it’s activated. Be careful to make sure you mix well. I have seen it happen where the entire bottom portion becomes pudding and the top is still liquid. The top mixes in well but this may result in it being not as thick as it could have been.

How Is The Texture? What Does It Taste Like?

Truly, if you love pudding chia seeds won’t be an issue. They are practically tasteless in the pudding. The flavor you get is the base you use, any sweetener or mix in. So, if you use almond milk that is what you will taste. Vice versa with coconut milk and heavy cream as well. In conclusion, whatever you mix it with make sure you like the flavor of those things.

Bases for chia seed pudding

  • Coconut milk
  • Almond milk
  • Macadamia milk (My favorite) doesn’t have to be refrigerated!
  • Heavy cream
  • Flax milk
  • Coffee creamer

The texture depends! Are you using a nut milk it? The texture will be much more smooth. Maybe a bit gummy from the fiber but that truly depends on how long you let it sit. If you’re using heavy cream or coconut milk expect a much creamier texture due to the high fat content.

Toppings and Variations

  • Chocolate
  • Vanilla
  • Berries (Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • Granola ( I use Gra-POW in mine)
  • Nuts (Walnuts, Pecans, Hazelnuts)
  • Seeds (Pumpkin, Sunflower, Flax)
  • Spices (Cinnamon, Apple Pie, Pumpkin)

You can mix and match these as well. Try adding butter and pecan for a butter pecan version. Or even chocolate and hazelnut for a Nutella vibe. I like to keep mine dairy free so I prefer nut milk with granola mixed it for that extra crunch. Gra-POW is my go-to granola and you can save 10% here, just add “sugarless” at checkout!

Hi, I'm Darius. I am aware that I'm rather young but I started caring about my health years ago. I think it's truly important because at a young age I knew the food they were feeding us was complete b.s, can I curse up here?
