Keto chia seed pudding is an excellent option for breakfast. It’s high in fiber, protein, minerals and has under 2g of net carbs per serving.
I’m not a big breakfast person, but I always go for something simple and easy when I do breakfast.
Eggs are usually my go-to, but lately, I’ve been making chia seed pudding, and it’s been a great change-up!
Keto chia seed pudding ingredients + substitutions
To make keto chia seed pudding, you’ll want:
- A keto-friendly milk (like coconut milk or macadamia nut milk),
- Chia seeds (obviously),
- Monk fruit or stevia sweetener,
- Vanilla extract, and
- Berries (optional, but delicious – recommend blueberries and strawberries).
Simple, straightforward, delicious.
Once you’ve made the base recipe, consider changing up your flavoring – instead of vanilla extract, you can instead use instant coffee, coconut extract, citrus juice, or essential oils. All of them work well to make different flavors in the pudding! I even added a teaspoon of blue spirulina to add more nutrients and make my chia seed pudding a pretty blue color.
How to make keto chia seed pudding
First, gather your ingredients (see above). Then mix them all together in a bowl. (Note: You’ll need 28 ounces of coconut milk.)
Pour the mixture into four 8-ounce jars. Cover and refrigerate overnight or until the pudding has set. Top with your favorite berries, dust of cinnamon, or a dollop of homemade whipped coconut cream before serving.
How to make different chia seed pudding flavors
I like to change up the flavors of my keto chia seed pudding. Below are some of my favorite combinations.
Coconut Lime: Use coconut milk for the milk option and add 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice to the mixture.
Chocolate Pudding: Add six tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the batter. Add more sweetener to taste, as cocoa can be bitter.
Chia-Vanilla: Add a teaspoon of chia spice and 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the mixture.

nutritional information does not compute for carbs. Please explain

The net carbs do not include the sugar alcohols from the sweetener. So, you take the carbs and subtract the fiber and sugar alcohols and that’s how you get the net carbs. Hope that makes sense. 🙂
