Ingredients

Coconut milk – The healthy fats found in this delicious, dairy-free alternative make it an ideal and satisfying breakfast food. (1, 2) Coconut milk has a natural sweetness and a slightly nutty flavor. Although, you can easily substitute it with your favorite nut milk.

Sweetener – Choose your favorite keto sweetener. Ours is a monkfruit erythritol blend.

Spices – Cinnamon, ginger, and cardamon spice up this chai latte pudding. You can use cinnamon sticks, fresh ginger, and whole cardamom pods for a more robust flavor, or keep it simple with ground spices. 

Black tea – Choose your favorite organic black tea or substitute chai tea and omit spices for an even simpler version of this recipe. Adjust the amount of tea to taste.

Chia seed – This amazing, little seed has a fascinating history of culinary use since the Aztecs! (3, 4) After soaking, the chia seeds expand many times their original size, thereby gelling into a creamy, pudding consistency.

Pecans – Though optional, pecans take this recipe over the top with a decadent crunch. 

Sugar-free maple syrup – This is also optional, but the maple syrup flavor pairs perfectly with the pecans if you decide to use them.

    The coconut milk makes this chia pudding super decadent and creamy. I love the chai flavors and they pair perfectly with the pecan topping – which shouldn’t be skipped!

    I love it! It gave me a good start of the day. I topped it with some fresh berries and nuts, and it was delicious. Will try to put some maple syrup next time and see how it taste. So excited!

  4. 5 stars
    What a delightful change from my usual breakfast routine. This blend was comforting, aromatic, and very satisfying. I love that you can also make it ahead for those busy mornings. Thanks for this recipe!

  5. 5 stars
    Love the health benefits of chia and yet how yummy this recipe is!! Feels like a treat, but is actually good for you ๐Ÿ™‚

  6. Two questions. I have chai tea tea bags, can I use that and eliminate the spices since they are already in the tea bags? Also, I only have truvia sweetner, how much do I use of that? Thanks. I love chai lattes, and really miss them. Looking forward to making this.

    1. If you want to leave out the spices, make your tea strong! You can reduce the spices a bit or keep them the same. Start with a little, take some taste tests and adjust as you like.
