Keto Chia Pudding

A low carb chia pudding, made rich with coconut oil. I typically keep this recipe super simple -- chia seeds, almond milk, and coconut oil. Add a sweetener of choice, and an optional flavor extract if desired. This healthy low carb chia seed pudding is perfect for meal prepping! 1 NET CARB PER SERVING

Ingredients

  • 3 cups almond milk unsweetened, vanilla
  • 2-3 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or sweetener of choice
  • 1/4 teaspoon flavor extract almond or vanilla, optional
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted (or 1 tablespoon coconut oil, 1 tablespoon MCT oil)
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds *see notes

Instructions

  • Add almond milk and sweetener to a blender, and pulse to combine. Drizzle in melted coconut oil while processing to keep coconut oil from clumping.
  • Add chia seeds, and pulse. Let sit for 5 minutes, and pulse again. Repeat 2-3 more times until the pudding has started to thicken.
  • Pour into jars, and refrigerate to fully thicken. The coconut oil helps the pudding become thicker and creamier when cooled.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

*Chia seeds vary greatly in absorbency based on age of seeds (if you've had a package in your pantry for 2 years, they won't absorb as much liquid), and also brand. Start with the recommended 1/2 cup of seeds, and if your mixture hasn't mostly thickened after an hour, and 2-3 tablespoons more. If the mixture is thicker than you'd like it to be, add a few tablespoons of almond milk at a time until the mixture is the consistency you enjoy.
The nutrition facts are for 1/8 of this recipe, which I consider to be a snack-sized jar. When I am prepping this for breakfast, I pack it in 4 jars so the nutrition facts are doubled for that size.
