Chia Seed Pudding is a low-carb, sugar-free, dairy-free pudding that is a cinch to make. The recipe is fully adjustable, so it can easily be made into a rich chocolate dessert or a light and fruity snack. You can also just as easily substitute ground flax seed for the chia seed.

Pudding is certainly comfort food, one that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. My Chia Seed Pudding is Keto, and very low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent snack to have on hand. It is easy to take on the go for lunch or travel. Just store it in a small thermos and shake it before you indulge. You can also make this pudding a small meal and rest assured knowing it is full of healthy fats, and protein, and has no added sugar.

Both chia seeds and flax seeds are rich in fiber. They will soak up all the liquid leaving you with a thick rich pudding base that you can flavor however you like. Some of my favorite flavor options are:


• Cacao Powder
• Lemon Juice
• Cinnamon
• Almond Butter
• Flavored Keto Collagen
• Or just a handful (1/2 cup or less) of berries

There are healthy amounts of Omega 3 fatty acids in both chia and flax seeds, which are essential for proper immune function, helping our cell membranes stay healthy, and lowering chronic inflammation.

Give it a try and let me know your favorite ways to make this pudding!
