How to Make Keto & Whole 30 Chia Seed Pudding Recipes

Here’s my favorite simple chia seed pudding.

I prefer to use unsweetened almond milk. The pudding comes out tasting like thick melted vanilla ice cream.

I could seriously eat this every morning for breakfast! It’s an excellent breakfast grab-and-go breakfast that will keep you full for hours!

Chia seed pudding is easy to make! Mix 1/2 cup chia seeds, 2 cups a dairy or non-dairy liquid, 2-3 tablespoons swerve (or your favorite sweetener), 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, a dash of salt, and optional add-ins.

Combine everything except the optional add-ins into a mason jar.

Use a fork to break up clumps. Stir with a fork every 10 minutes. Do this at least twice.

I like to place the jar lying on its side in the refrigerator overnight. I find the pudding doesn’t get as clumping if the jar on its side.

Add in your favorite toppings. I usually eat the pudding as is, but if I have fresh berries, I’ll add them in.

Chia pudding does NOT need to be cooked, but it does require some sitting time in the refrigerator for the seeds to expand. I like to soak the seeds overnight so the pudding is smoother and the seeds have less crunch.

Here are some of the typical dairy and non-dairy liquids used to make chia seed pudding:

• Unsweetened Almond Milk – This is my personal favorite.
• Coconut milk
• Oat Milk
• Heavy cream
• Milk
• Soy milk
• Rice milk
• Hemp milk

How Can You Make Chia Seed Pudding Not Slimy?

Make instant chia seed pudding by placing main pudding ingredients into a blender and blending for three minutes. This will break the seeds up, resulting in a smoother pudding.

I prefer overnight chia seeds, but I won’t complain about an instant chia pudding! They are both delicious!

How Many Carbs Do Chia Seeds Have?

According to the USDA FoodData Central, 1 ounce of dried chia seeds contains 138 calories, 11.9 carbs, and 9.75 fiber = 2.15 carbs!

One teaspoon may not seem like a lot if you have never had chia seeds before but keep in mind they swell up and can expand up to 10 times their original size.

1-ounce Dried Chia seeds
= 2.14 Net Carbs

Chia seeds expand up to 10x their original size when soaked in a liquid

Yes! Chia seeds are not in the same family group of grains and legumes typically omitted from a Whole30 lifestyle.
