Chia seed pudding gets a creamy & smooth makeover with this blended version. Made with the same wholesome ingredients, this is blended (a couple times) to get a creamy consistency, more similar to regular pudding. Perfect for those who don't love the tapioca-texture of a regular chia pudding!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups almond milk unsweetened
1/4 cup cacao powder or natural cocoa powder
1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener
40 g collagen optional, but adds a creamy texture
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch sea salt
3/4 cup chia seeds
1 1/2 cups coconut milk canned or in paper cartons, not beverage

Instructions

Add the almond milk, chia seeds, cacao powder, monk fruit, collagen, salt, and vanilla to a blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is smooth. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Add the coconut milk into the blender, and mix it in to help it start processing. Process for another 1-2 minutes, until the pudding is as smooth as possible. I like to do this a 3rd time by letting the pudding rest again, and blending it another 1-2 minutes, to break down the seeds as much as possible.
Pour the pudding into storage containers. It should be thick, but will thicken further when it’s chilled.
Top blended chocolate chia pudding with berries, nuts, or nut butter, as desired!

Notes

7 NET CARBS PER SERVING

Refrigerate chia pudding for 2-3 hours prior to serving to completely thicken.

Chia seed pudding stays good refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Top the pudding each day with berries, chocolate, nuts, and more, to add variety to your chia pudding!

Blended Berry Chia Pudding

Omit the cocoa powder, and add 1/2 cup of blueberries (fresh or frozen) and 1/2 cup of freeze dried strawberries or raspberries. The freeze dried berries add a lot of flavor that is hard to do with fresh berries!

Matcha or Lemon Blended Chia Seed Pudding

If you’re wanting to blend vanilla, matcha, or lemon chia seed pudding, I suggest buying white chia seeds. This is purely to make it look more appetizing! Chocolate and berries will cover the black/gray look of blended chia seeds, but lighter colored puddings will not.
