Ultimate Keto Overnight Almond Chia Pudding

331 ratings

This is the most ultimate Keto chia pudding recipe you’ll ever need. You’ll never need another morning breakfast recipe because the simplicity of this one will beat everything else out of the water. Take just 5 minutes to prepare everything and let your refrigerator do the rest. Raw chia seeds are mixed with almond milk and just a couple of other ingredients. You can add in your own mix-ins, but some suggestions are made further below. The pudding will thicken overnight, and you can eat it immediately after waking up in the morning. This is a gluten-free and vegan Keto recipe, so anyone can enjoy it. Even if you don’t fit those categories, you’ll never get over how easy Keto recipes can be.

What else can I add to my pudding?

There are lots of mix-ins or toppings you can add to chia pudding. If you like the almond flavor or want something that gives the illusion of a sweeter taste, add a drop of almond extract or vanilla extract to your pudding in the initial steps. For texture, try adding chopped nuts or whole blueberries to the pudding.

Tips to keep in mind

It’s important to pay attention to the temperatures of your chia pudding while you’re making it. It’s important to make sure your entire mixture gets hot throughout so all the seeds can rehydrate properly. Equally, the chia pudding needs to chill completely before it will thicken up properly. Don’t take any shortcuts with the times!

Perfect Keto breakfast

Overnight almond chia pudding is perfect for breakfast for anyone who is always in a rush in the mornings. Divide the raw pudding amongst small mason jars that can be sealed. Take the thickened pudding in the jars to go without missing a second of your busy morning!

    Sounds like a lovely recipe. I usually make mine with 2 Tablespoons of chia seeds, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk and a little real maple syrup. I add nut butter and/or roasted pumpkin seeds. You can’t go wrong with all that crunch.

      I really didn’t like this recipe very much. The serving is so small I don’t see how it could be called a full meal. Even adding a hard boiled egg still left me hungry and unsatisfied. I won’t be making this again.

        I didn't think I'd need to microwave it, but it's definitely a crucial step. The seeds don't rehydrate enough if just placed in the fridge overnight.

              I am not sure why microwaving is needed if you soak overnight. Thoughts?

                One star only because using microwave oven is suggested. Getting rid of microwave ovens is one of the first basic steps towards healthy eating habits. Besides: chia seeds soak perfectly fine in cold water/any vegetable milk alternative, no need to heat it up.

                  That is a horrible reason to give a recipe one star. A lot of us do keto to lose weight and don't care about using a microwave.

                I used 1 cup of almond milk and 1/4 cup[2oz] of chia/flax seed mix. Heated on medium in microwave 45 seconds [2 rounds] stirred in between and after. Covered with cling wrap. Checked on it just now in fridge and it's definitely thick. I split into 2 servings, put a couple blueberries and Lily brand chocolate chips on it. Going to try in morning. It's probably about 4 servings but I cut the milk amount in half but glad I did maybe wouldn't be as thick

                  Thank you 😃 did what you suggested as far as mix, mine set up as pudding at room temp without heating, nice and thick.

                      I did 4 - 45 second zaps in microwave. Think I’ll try a couple more next time as it’s still got a little chew to it. I’ll definitely play around with the flavours as I couldn’t find nibs and I find it a bit bland. But it’s a nice change from eggs in the morning.

                        Heating and stirring on low-med heat on the stovetop instead of the microwave allows you to keep a better eye on how the chia are hydrating and how the pudding is thickening. I made my own version with a shot of pumpkin spice coffee enhancer and sugar free vanilla syrup instead of the berries and cacao and it was so good I ate it hot!

                          Any other tricks to it? How long do you boil it for?

                        It was a complete fail for me. I likely missed something. Open to suggestions. 2 oz of chia seeds seemed too little for 2 cups of liquid. I weighed 2 oz chia seeds and it looked like 1 table spoon. I used 1 cup almond milk and 1 cup heavy cream. Didn’t thicken for me after 30+ hours. Added more chia seeds and still it stayed too liquid for days. Finally poured it down the drain.

                          Try 1/4 cup of chia. That's 2 oz. I just made it was perfect. I also reduced almond milk to 1 cup instead of 2. It's thick

                          If you take it out- stir it a few times to mix up the seeds and then put it back, it should thicken! I had this issue my first day and was so confused, it was because my chia seeds settled and didn’t have enough room to rehydrate.

                          I have a similar recipe but I don't microwave. I leave the chia seeds in the almond milk for an hour or two and it gels. I add the toppings and refrigerate for 24 hours. My topping is usually yogurt and a top layer of jam ends up looking like a parfait jar

                          Possibly the chia seeds are old or too much liquid.
