Keto Mocha Chia Protein Pudding
This Keto protein pudding is rich with the flavors of chocolate and coffee with an added boost of protein. Quick and easy to prepare, this simple chia pudding makes the best Keto breakfast to grab and go when you are short on time. Perfect for making ahead and storing in sealable glass jars.
What Is Chia Pudding?
Chia pudding is a breakfast/snack or dessert option prepared by combining chia seeds with a chosen liquid. When the chia seeds are left to sit in liquid for a length of time, they swell and expand, creating a gelatinous pudding consistency. The key to the best chia pudding is getting the ratio of chia to liquid right. As a general rule, the best chia pudding is made with three tablespoons of chia seeds to one cup of liquid. If you prefer a thicker pudding, you may add an additional tablespoon of chia seeds.
Can I Use A Different Protein Powder?
We have used a chocolate-flavored protein powder for our Keto pudding. The chocolate perfectly complements the coffee and cream to create a rich mocha flavor. If you prefer, you could use an alternative protein powder such as vanilla. You may even use a combination of vanilla protein powder and a touch of unsweetened cocoa powder if desired. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.

Pretty good recipe especially if your needing some protein. Very fast to make. I used skinny syrup, salted chocolate mocha flavored in mine, added a little sweet and flavor.
