Best Keto Vanilla Chia Pudding

199 ratings

Keto chia vanilla pudding is as simple as it gets for dessert – or even breakfast! Instead of a sugary, gelatinous blob, this chia seed pudding is a far healthier option to enjoy. This makes a great base Keto dessert recipe for those who don’t see a flavor of chia pudding they’d like on Carb Manager. Chia pudding makes for one of the best Keto dessert recipes as it is so versatile, and you can add any additional flavors or toppings at your own discretion! This easy Keto dessert recipe can also be enjoyed by those following vegan and Paleo diets.

Is chia pudding healthy?

Chia pudding can be an excellent addition to your low-carb diet when consumed in moderation. Packed with fiber and antioxidants, chia seeds are protein-rich and loaded with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. This means you can enjoy a sweet Keto dessert treat entirely guilt-free while also reaping the benefits for your health. What’s not to love?!

How to flavor chia pudding?

This easy Keto chia pudding recipe provides you with a classic base to which you can experiment with flavors and toppings. You can add low carb sweeteners and syrups, Keto carb fruit jam, unsweetened cocoa powder, pumpkin spice mix…the possibilities and flavor combinations are limitless! Simply stir your preferred additions into the chia and milk mixture before setting or layer over the set pudding as a topping. Be sure to factor these additions into your macros.

Can you use other types of milk?

Yes! Feel free to use other nuts milk for the pudding base. For a richer Keto pudding, use coconut milk. However, because this milk tends to be thicker, it will set in the fridge faster than nut milk. If using coconut milk, please use the canned variety.

Recipe Steps

steps 3

12 h 5 min

  • Step 1

    Add the chia seeds, almond milk and vanilla extract to a bowl. Whisk everything together until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge. The chia pudding needs to chill in order to allow the seeds to expand and absorb the liquid. This can take a minimum of two hours, but for best results and a thicker pudding, leave overnight.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Divide the chia pudding between individual serving bowls or glasses. Optionally top with your favorite Keto toppings such as fresh berries or toasted coconut flakes. Be sure to adjust your macros to allow for any toppings added.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Enjoy your Keto chia pudding as a dessert or even breakfast option. This is also a great option for batch prepping in advance, providing you with ready-made snacks or desserts throughout the week. Perfect served in individual dessert ramekins or mini mason jars for breakfast on the go.

    This recipe is incomplete. You published a variation on this one that says to put it in theMICROWAVE. Why don’t we cook THIS ONE?!!! I’m deleting this one from my favorites. I just made this a few minutes ago and now I’m concerned that I wasted the ingredients. Chia seeds aren’t cheap and neither are almond milk or Swerve! Please!!!… PROOFREAD YOUR RECIPES BEFORE PUBLISHING THEM TO CARB MANAGER. Not everyone can afford to waste these ingredients on a poorly written recipe like this one!

    It was gross! I mixed it well. Need to definitely add more vanilla and possibly maybe even heavy cream

        They miss a critical step here. You have to stir the pudding two to three hours of making it and put it back in the fridge overnight. Otherwise, you end up with nasty clumps. The chia cannot absorb the liquid if you don't stir it up.

Well worth the calories which end up being low once they disperse in the pudding.

            Never trust the nutritional info on this site nor the cooking instructions. Do your own research on cooking technique and calculate the calories for each ingredient. I just ordered the cookbook and I hope it isn't just a compilation of what's on this website. Otherwise, it's going back.

            1 tablespoon of Chia seeds are 50 calories. So the 2 tablespoons of Chia seeds are 100 cal in this recipe

            This was delicious! Instead of stevia I added a tiny bit of sugarless vanilla syrup and once it was ready I added a tiny bit of sugarless strawberry jam on top. Yum!!!

              I used a refrigerated Almond/Coconut milk. Because of this I didn’t use a sweetener. Added about 15 mashed thawed blueberries and just a splash of vanilla. It was great!

                  This was absolutely disgusting. Followed the recipe exactly and even after 24 hrs it was still just lumpy almond milk. Zero flavor. I'll stick with the paleo chocolate version of this

                  Followed the recipe as is. Firstly 1 serving is tiny!! I x mine by 3…I let it sit overnight and in the morning it was kinda lumpy and not thick enough and the flavour was gahhhgh . I don’t see the hype in chia puddings…will not make again

                    The heated version of this is much better. Remember to add flavour

                    I am allergic to almonds, so I used homemade Half n Half instead, worked like a charm and I used pure vanilla powder by Aki. I let the mixture set overnight, the texture was pudding like the next morning and enjoyable.

                    I warm the almond milk it helps for absorption faster
