Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chia seeds
  • 4 cups coconut milk (or other dairy-free milk of choice)
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup low carb sweetener, or to taste (or other sweetener of choice)
  • cacao nibs, coconut shreds, whipped cream (optional toppings)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional, but necessary in my opinion)

Instructions

Traditional Chia Pudding Version

  • Place all ingredients in medium-sized bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Spoon into bowls or mugs and serve with toppings of choice.
  • Store leftovers in glass container in fridge for up to 5 days.

Blended Chocolate Chia Pudding Version

  • If desired, grind chia seeds in coffee / spice grinder ahead of time.
  • Place all ingredients in food processor or blender.
  • Blend or process until smooth, adjusting sweetener / liquid amount as needed.
  • Spoon into bowls or mugs and serve with toppings of choice.
  • Store leftovers in glass container in fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Do I Have to Use a Vitamix to Make Blended Chia Pudding? Not necessarily, but you could overheat some blenders / food processors if your mixture is too thick
  • Cocoa powder substitute-You can use organic carob powder instead of cocoa to avoid the stimulants in cocoa. That will add carbs, however.
  • Chia pudding has a shelf-life in the refrigerator of up to 5 days. Just make sure to store any leftovers in an air-tight container.
  • Sweetener Notes- This recipe is very forgiving. You can use whatever sweetener you like, making adjustments for its sweetness
  • Coconut Milk Alternatives- My Easiest Coconut Milkis a great make-your-own option for coconut milk. You can use any dairy-free milk or regular milk instead of coconut milk
