How Many Carbs are in Chia Seeds?

A Dairy Free Keto Chia Pudding Recipe

This keto chia pudding is low in net carbs because we use a fiber rich base and no added sugar. Sugar can sneak up on you in products you might not even think of. Products like almond milk and coconut milk can be loaded with sugar if you aren’t checking before hand.

Another Nut Free & Dairy Free Option

There are other options than just heavy cream and almond milk that can be used in this recipe. Almond milk is a great starter milk, but for those with a nut allergy isn’t really an option. Instead try:

Coconut Milk– Canned coconut milk is a great option in place of almond milk in chia pudding.
Carton Coconut Milk– This is the most similar product/ form of coconut milk to almond milk.

Making Chia Pudding Sugar Free

The most important thing in order to make chia pudding sugar free is that you pick a low carb sweetener. We’re going to breakdown everything you need to know about sugar free sweeteners.

Picking a Keto Sweetener

The sweetener you choose depends on what level of sweetness you’re trying to achieve.

Erythritol– This is going to be one of the most affordable sugar free sweeteners that is still high quality.
Stevia– Liquid stevia is the other sugar free sweetener you will see us use most often.
Allulose– Allulose is a newer keto sweetener you’ll see in keto dessert recipes.

Chia Seed Pudding is Gluten Free

All keto recipes should be gluten free as keto is a low inflammation diet. Our keto chia pudding recipe isn’t any different! We skip the gluten and added carbs by subbing oats for 100% gluten free chia seeds.
