Ingredients
- ½ Cup Chia Seeds
- 3 Cups Almond Milk
- 2 Tablespoons melted Coconut Oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 3 Tablespoons Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener
Instructions
- You are going to be blending all of your ingredients together in a Vitamix or blender, so get it set up.
- Melt the coconut oil in the microwave, for about 45 seconds or so.
- While that is melting add the almond milk, sweetener and vanilla to the blender, and blend for 30 seconds until they are combined.
- Now drizzle in the coconut oil while the blender is in motion for 30 seconds to prevent it from clumping up.
- Add the chia seeds and pulse for about 30 seconds. Let it sit for 5 minutes and pulse again. Do this 2-4 more times until the pudding starts to thicken up.
- That’s how simple it is. Now pour the chia pudding into one big dish or individual dishes and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
Each portion has 2.3 NET Carbs.
The coconut oil helps the pudding to get creamier and thicker so do not skip this ingredient.
Any low carb sweetener will work in this recipe so pick your favorite one.
Chia seeds do get old and expire and if they are old they will not absorb as much liquid as you need them to in order to get thick pudding. If this is the case just throw them out and go to the store and pick up a brand new bag of them.
If your pudding is too thin then add a few more chia seeds and mix up.
If it is too thick then add a few more spoons of almond milk to thin it out a little bit.
If you want smaller servings then make 8 portions instead of 4. This is especially helpful for kids, or just for a snack instead of a breakfast.
Storing: It’s easy to store chia pudding, just pour it into individual dishes, cover them and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Freezing: This chia pudding will even freeze well. Once again freeze it in individual portions, covered well to prevent freezer burn. You can also make chia pudding popsicles in individual pops or ice cube trays.
