The joy of chia puddings
Chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse and easy to use in a chia pudding. The best thing about a chia pudding is that there is no baking! A keto chia pudding is a simple dish to make. Just add the flavourings, nut or coconut milk with the chia seeds. Shak and let the seeds absorb the liquid.
Chia seeds are a great source of Omega 3, are rich in calcium, magnesium and potassium. The high fiber content is great for making you feel full and are a good source of protein for the keto vegetarian and vegan.
Recipe Tips
Although the recipe makes 4 small servings, the instructions are for one pot. To serve for 4, divide the mixture between the pots. You could do this for 2 pots too.
If you don't enjoy your chia puddings "lumpy", then grind the chia seeds in a coffee grinder before use.

What about coconut cream, if it's only the texture of coconut you don't like.
