Notes

Not a fan of chia's jelly-like texture? Toss the seeds into a blender or food processor first to grind them into a fine powder before mixing for a smoother pudding.
Stir everything in a large bowl for ease then chill in the fridge. Once the pudding has thickened, you can portion it out into jars or containers for grab-and-go meals
If the pudding is too dense the next day, just add a splash of milk to loosen it up to your preferred consistency.
Adjust sweetness right before serving rather than adding too much at the start.
For extra texture, add coconut chips, nuts like crushed walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, or almonds, or seeds like hemp, pumpkin, sunflower, or sesame.
For extra flavor and fun, alternate layers of chia pudding with keto whipped cream, nut butter, or berries. Perfect for entertaining!

Serve: Serve alongside a handful of fresh berries, slices of avocado toast or French toast, or a soft-boiled egg for breakfast. For a guilt-free snack or dessert, enjoy it with a mini strawberry shortcake or some fudgy keto brownies. Pair it with an herbal tea, coffee, or a low-carb smoothie.

Store: Place the pudding in mason jars or any container with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. When ready to enjoy, stir the pudding and add your favorite toppings.
