Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Whisk or spoon
- 1 measuring cup
- 1 measuring spoon set
- 2 Mason jars or airtight containers
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons keto-friendly sweetener monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol
- A pinch of salt optional, enhances flavor
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Ingredients
- In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, keto-friendly sweetener, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the seeds.
Step 2: Let It Rest and Stir Again
- Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. This step ensures a smooth and even pudding consistency.
Step 3: Refrigerate and Let It Thicken
- Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like texture.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Before serving, give the pudding a final stir. If it’s too thick, add a little extra almond milk to adjust the consistency. Top with your favorite keto-friendly toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Make It Smoother: Blend the pudding after refrigeration for a creamy, traditional pudding texture.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezing Option: Freeze in individual portions and thaw overnight in the fridge before eating.
- Flavor Variations: Add cocoa powder for a chocolate version, or mix in nut butter for a richer taste.
