If you’ve spent a while on keto, you’ve no doubt heard of or tried chia seed puddings. Unfortunately, so many of the recipes out there taste absolutely awful, or turn into a solid goop ball in the fridge! I’ve spent a bit of time perfecting these two into what I consider to be the perfect texture.
Chia seeds are a little miracle of nature. When you look at their nutritional profile, it’s easy to see why they have become so popular. A two tablespoon serve of chia seeds contains;
- Calories: 117
- Protein: 4 grams
- Fat: 7.4 grams
- Fiber: 8.3 grams
Wowza that’s a lot of fibre! They are also packed with amino acids, potassium, calcium, zinc and so much more.
I’ve also made a Keto Coffee Chia Seed Pudding recipe that I highly recommend trying, especially if you want a super quick breakfast and a coffee hit all in one!
Keto Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1.5 cups strawberries stems removed and chopped
- 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons xylitol
- 5-6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, vanilla essence, salt, xylitol and 1/2 cup water.
- Simmer over medium heat for 5- 10 minutes until the water has reduced by half. Mash the strawberries with a fork to your preference, I like leaving some larger chunks.
- Add the coconut milk and stir to combine thoroughly.
- Add the chia seeds and mix through the strawberry base, then allow to sit for 5 minutes. Check the consistency - it will thicken more upon refrigeration but should be relatively thick at this stage. Add a few more chia seeds if not.
- Put into 4 individual serving containers or glasses and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
- Store covered in the refrigerator.

Downright yum, thank you. One question pls: your nutritional Carb count - is it as we know it in Australia (net carbs?) or is it as in the US and you have to take the fibre count off it?

So glad you loved the recipe and thank you for leaving a review! The nutrition label includes carbs, so once you take out fibre it's 6 grams net carbs :)
