Keto Chia Pudding – 7 Flavours
Before jumping to the recipe please note that the below information contains HOT TIPS for this recipe. We try and answer all your questions to guarantee a perfect keto recipe every time.
I have a new found appreciation and love for chia pudding! Have you tried any yet at all?
At first when trying a chia pudding (mind you this was a couple of years ago) I found the texture off-putting and the flavour ghastly! Well flavour is something I can fix in anything, but texture I think is a learned thing. Not growing up eating anything like this, and detesting a rice pudding, I was a little slow to warm to the humble chia pudding.
So some of the flavours I have played with include:
Matcha
Matcha – for those inexperienced with matcha, start with a 1/2 tsp and work your way up. It can be strong and polarising to those not used to its flavour.
Matcha is a powdered green tea. Part of the joy of drinking matcha is the whole ceremony of whisking it with your little stumpy bamboo whisk in an overpriced (at least in Australia) clay cup/bowl and drinking straight form the clay. I am totally in love with everything tea and ceremony related.

Chocolate
Speaking of fighting off the kids with your chia puds, how about a chocolate one? For a dessert version grate some dark chocolate onto the top and double cream and stir it in! Or freeze it into delicious frozen chocolate pudding pops. So good!
Chai
Chai Chia pudding, now that is a play on letters isn’t it! For all the Chai lovers this spiced and creamy pudding will be a favourite choice. If you like your chia creamy feel free to use thickened cream in place of the “milks”, or macadamia milk is delicious too!

Caramel Pecan
Another delicious recipe with Sukrin in it. For an extra decadence squeeze a little Sukrin Gold Fibre syrup over the top.
Vanilla
Vanilla Pudding is always one of my favourites. I hope you love all these choices and come up with a few of your own.
Comment below what you had and what you thought of the flavour. If you have made up your own flavour that we all need to try, then let us know!
Thanks

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 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
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 💞
All I can say is DE-LISH !!
Awesomeness!
Hi, just wondering how long each serve would last in the fridge for
Delish. I made the peanut butter flavor and we loved the taste and the texture was spot on for rice pudding!
Yay!
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
Huge fan of adding matcha to chia pudding! I’ve never thought of that and it was sooo good!
So happy you enjoyed 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!
Love this healthy breakfast option! So many great flavors and ideas.
So delicious isn’t it
