Keto Berry & Chia Pudding: A Creamy, Low-Carb Delight
Ingredients for Keto Berry & Chia Pudding
- 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (or coconut milk for extra creaminess)
- 1/2 cup Mixed Berries (such as raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries)
- 1/4 cup Chia Seeds
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional, for added flavor)
- 1-2 tbsp Erythritol or Stevia (optional, adjust to taste)
Toppings (Optional):
- Extra Berries (for garnish)
- Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- Crushed Nuts (such as almonds or pecans)
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Mix the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using). Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and don't clump together.
2. Add the Berries
Lightly mash the berries with a fork, releasing their juices for extra flavor, then fold them into the chia mixture.
3. Chill the Pudding
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight) until the chia seeds absorb the liquid and the mixture reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency.
4. Serve with Toppings
Once the pudding is set, give it a quick stir. Divide into servings and add your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts.
