The Very Versatile Keto Chia Pudding
I am such a fan of keto chia pudding. It’s fast, easy to flavour and customise and adds some much need protein to my diet.
Feel like a chocolate chia delight? Stir in some unsweetened cocoa. Craving some fruity goodness? Mash up berries or a bit of avocado for natural sweetness. The possibilities are endless, and that’s what I call a kitchen win-win, my friends!

6 portions? The recipe says two serves, so halve it?
Sorry I am not sure what you mean with 6 portions?
Are you using Australian tablespoons (20 mL), or the 15 mL tablespoons used elsewhere? Thx
I have used a standard 15ml metric tablespoon.
Such a simple but versatile recipe. Run with your imagination! Thank you Megan 😊
Love this healthy breakfast option! So many great flavors and ideas.So delicious isn’t it
Oh yes, I have been crushing on chia seed puddings lately and never thought to make one with peanut butter. OMG I can’t wait to make this. Thanks for the recipe ideas with the different flavors.Enjoy!
Huge fan of adding matcha to chia pudding! I’ve never thought of that and it was sooo good!So happy you enjoyed it
Love the peanut butter chocolate flavor. I am trying to find nutritious treats for my spouse with cancer. Thanks!I love the peanut butter too
Delish. I made the peanut butter flavor and we loved the taste and the texture was spot on for rice pudding!Yay!
Hi, just wondering how long each serve would last in the fridge for
All I can say is DE-LISH !!Awesomeness!
That was the easiest thing to make on this earth.
I’m going to have Caramel Pecan for the next couple of days for my breakfast. Smells Devine 💞Can I confirm that this recipie makes 6 portions and that the portion sizes are really small?
Yes they are just small pots of chia. You can of course increase and just add the additional macros
This might be a stupid question but I used white chia seeds (as that is all I had in the cupboard) and it didn’t set… the chia just sat at the bottom and it didn’t seem to go gelatinous. Does it only work with black chia seeds?
No it should work just the same with white chia seeds
Can these be frozen?They most assuredly can.
If you were to replace the almond milk with pouring cream would you still use the same amount? 160 ml?
I’ve never thought to try other flavours in Chia pudding. The choc- peanut butter reminds me of Reese’s peanut butter cups- but much healthier!
I also love how simple this recipe is!
Chocolate peanut Butter version is the yummiest chia pudding recipe I have ever tried.
