The Very Versatile Keto Chia Pudding
Alright, my friends, let’s talk about a true kitchen superstar – Keto Chia Pudding! This bad boy is not only delish but oh-so-versatile. Just mix chia seeds with your favorite keto milk, a touch of sweetener, and maybe a dash of vanilla for some extra pizzazz. Pop it in the fridge, let it do its thing, and in no time, you’ve got yourself a creamy base ready to take on all your flavor fantasies!
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!

The Ingredients
How To Make It
- Combine the chia seeds, almond milk, sweetener, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Mix until combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth texture. Adjust the sweetness to your taste if necessary.
- Serve in a bowl or glass, and if desired, add your choice of keto-friendly toppings, such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips & Tricks
- Hot Tip 1: If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the mixture in a blender or use ground chia seeds instead. This step ensures a less grainy consistency.
- Hot Tip 2: For added flavor, consider incorporating unsweetened cocoa powder or matcha powder for a delightful twist on your chia pudding.
FAQs
Absolutely! You can use your preferred keto-friendly sweetener. Just remember to adjust the quantity to your desired level of sweetness.
You can store your chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. It’s a perfect make-ahead option for busy mornings.

That was the easiest thing to make on this earth.

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.
