The Simple Ingredients For The Easy Recipe
Here are the simple ingredients I’ve included in my chia pudding and some ideas to adapt yours depending on your tastes and dietary requirements:
Raspberries – I went for raspberries but you can include any other berry you like and include as little or as much as you’d like to. If you’re following a strict low carb diet, then you may only want a small handful in your pudding.
Keto Milk – you can use any type of milk you like from unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk or any other non-dairy milks that are low in carbs and sugars.
You can also swap some of the milk for heavy cream, heavy whipping cream or coconut cream for a keto pudding with more healthy fats.
Yogurt – for a creamy pudding, mix through a few spoons of yogurt. Choose a yogurt that’s low in total carbs and sugars such as plain, natural or Greek yogurt.
Chia Seeds – the star of our chia pudding – I included 2 tablespoons of the healthy seeds, but feel free to use more or less depending if you want a thicker pudding and the texture of chia pudding you want.
You can even meal prep a big batch of the creamy keto chia pudding as a simple treat to satisfy you sweet tooth or enjoy as the perfect breakfast when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Keto Chia Pudding
Is chia pudding keto?
Yes, chia seeds can fit well into a keto or low carb diet. Chia seeds are high in fibre and relatively low in net carbohydrates, making them a popular ingredient for keto-friendly breakfasts and snacks. The total carbs in your chia pudding will depend on the other ingredients you use, particularly the milk, yogurt, berries and sweetener.
How many carbs are in keto chia pudding?
The number of carbs depends on the ingredients and quantities used. To keep chia pudding low in carbs, use unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk or another low-carb milk, along with plain unsweetened yogurt and low-carb berries such as raspberries or strawberries.
How long does chia pudding take to set?
Chia pudding needs several hours in the refrigerator to thicken properly. For the best consistency, prepare it in the evening and leave it in the fridge overnight. If you’re in a hurry, check it after a few hours and give it another stir if needed.
Can I make keto chia pudding overnight?
Yes! Chia pudding is perfect for making ahead. Simply mix the ingredients in a jar or covered container, refrigerate overnight and give it a good stir before serving. You can add your favourite toppings just before eating.
Why is my chia pudding watery?
If your chia pudding is too thin, it may need more time to thicken or the mixture may contain too much liquid. Give it another good stir and return it to the refrigerator. If it is still too thin after several hours, mix in a little more chia seeds and allow it to thicken again.
How do I make chia pudding thicker?
For a thicker chia pudding, increase the amount of chia seeds or reduce the amount of liquid. You can also mix in a little extra yogurt for a creamier, thicker consistency. Keep in mind that chia seeds continue absorbing liquid as they sit, so the pudding will usually become thicker overnight.
Can I make chia pudding without yogurt?
Yes. Yogurt isn’t essential for chia pudding. You can make it with chia seeds and your choice of low-carb milk for a dairy-free version. Unsweetened almond milk and unsweetened coconut milk both work well. You can also add coconut cream for a richer, creamier pudding.
What can I put on keto chia pudding?
There are lots of low-carb toppings you can use, including raspberries, strawberries, unsweetened coconut, chopped nuts, nut butter, cacao nibs, cinnamon, vanilla and unsweetened cocoa powder. A spoonful of homemade chia seed jam or sugar-free jam is also delicious.
How long does keto chia pudding last in the fridge?
Store chia pudding covered in the refrigerator and use it within the storage time recommended for the specific ingredients you’ve used. If you’re making it ahead for breakfast, preparing individual portions the night before is a convenient option.
