Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk (or unsweetened almond milk) (480g)
- 1/2 cup chia seeds (90g)
Sweetener and Flavoring
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener (28g) or stevia drops to taste
- 1/8 tsp salt (optional)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add chia seeds, coconut milk (or almond milk), your preferred sugar-free sweetener, and optionally salt and vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Mix Well: Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes thick and smooth, making sure there are no chia clumps.
- Blend (Optional): If you prefer a smoother, blended pudding texture, process the mixture in a blender or use an immersion blender until you reach the desired consistency.
- Portion and Chill: Divide the pudding into small mason jars or bowls. You can enjoy it immediately or cover and refrigerate overnight for a creamy, thick texture.
- Store Leftovers: Keep any leftover chia pudding covered in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to five days.
Notes
- Using full-fat coconut milk will enhance the creaminess and fat content, supporting ketosis.
- Adjust sweetener quantity according to taste preferences or dietary restrictions.
- Stevia drops provide a natural zero-calorie alternative to powdered sweeteners.
- Chilling the pudding overnight improves texture but it can be eaten right away if preferred.
- Make sure to stir well initially to avoid chia seed clumps forming.
