Keto Chia Pudding Recipe
Ingredients
To make this simple chia pudding recipe, you’ll need 3 main ingredients:
Black Chia Seeds: They form the base of the pudding, thickening it up for a delicious gel-like consistency.
Milk: Choose your favorite kind of milk, for a keto diet use unsweetened milk options, like almond milk, full fat coconut milk, or hazelnut milk. For the paleo diet use non-dairy milk, including previously mentioned + cashew milk (not keto).
Low carb sweetener: Pick your favorite sweetener like erythritol (my go-to!), allulose, or monk fruit if you are on a keto diet. Alternatively, use natural sweeteners like maple syrup, raw honey, or coconut sugar if you follow a paleo lifestyle and don’t restrict your carb intake.
Optional add-ins:
- Vanilla extract: Adds wonderful vanilla flavor.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: to make chocolate chia pudding
