Creamy vanilla chia seeds is the thick, pudding-like breakfast that tastes like dessert and behaves like fuel. Chia seeds cook with almond milk and coconut oil until luxuriously creamy, then fold with Greek yogurt and vanilla for tang and sweetness. Under 2.5g net carbs per serving — chill it well and dig in.

Pro Tips

• Stir constantly for the first 5 minutes — chia seeds thicken fast and stick to the pot if left unattended.
• Add the coconut oil and vanilla after the seeds have thickened so the flavor stays bright rather than cooking off.
• The splash of water (about 1/4 cup) loosens the pudding to just the right spoonable consistency — don't skip it.
• Stir the Greek yogurt in only after Cancel is pressed, and chill the bowls thoroughly before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this chia pudding keto?

Very much so — 2.4g net carbs with 7.8g of fiber and 22.5g of fat per serving, sweetened with swerve.

Can I eat it warm?

The recipe says chill well before serving, and the thick, creamy texture is at its best cold. It's also lovely warm on a winter morning.

What toppings work?

Fresh strawberries or a sprinkle of seeds are the recipe's suggestions — both add welcome texture to the creamy base.

How long does it keep?

Up to 4 days in the fridge. The chia continues to thicken as it sits, so stir in a splash of almond milk before serving.
