Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp Chia Seeds
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Cream
  • 1-2 tsp Erythritol or Stevia (or other low-carb sweetener)
  • 1 tbsp Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • To taste Optional Toppings: Berries, Nuts, Seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Combine Ingredients In a jar or small bowl, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened coconut milk, coconut cream, sweetener (erythritol or stevia), shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Step 2: Mix Well Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the chia seeds are evenly distributed. This will help prevent clumping. Step 3: Refrigerate Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency. Step 4: Stir and Check Consistency After refrigerating, stir the chia seed pudding. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon or two of additional coconut milk to reach your desired consistency. Step 5: Add Toppings (Optional) Top with your favorite low-carb toppings, such as berries, nuts, or seeds. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! Serve the coconut chia seed pudding cold and enjoy a healthy and delicious low-carb breakfast or snack.
