This post may contain affiliate links to products I use and highly recommend. You can read my full disclosure .

A serving of this chocolate chia seed pudding is the perfect way to start your day. It’s 4g net carbs, meal-prep-friendly, flavor-packed, and rich in fiber. What if you’re on keto? No worries— my chocolate chia seed pudding recipe uses unsweetened cocoa powder to keep the carbs low. You can substitute sugar with a keto sweetener, as in my keto chia seed pudding recipe. I also make it with almond milk, so it’s dairy-free!

Why Make This

  • Keto variation: My sugar-free chocolate chia seed pudding will satisfy your cravings without the extra carbs. 
  • Dairy-free: This chia seeding pudding chocolate flavor uses almond milk, so it’s great for those who are dairy-free.
  • Meal-prep friendly: Chocolate chia seed pudding is great for busy cooks who want to prepare something healthy in advance for a power breakfast.

Ingredients Needed

  • Black chia seeds
  • Powdered sugar: Powdered sugar mixes easier than granular, achieving a smooth mixture texture faster. In this recipe, I’m using a powdered all-natural sugar substitute. You can use any sweetener to taste that you wish.
  • Almond milk: I prefer using unsweetened almond milk so that I can sweeten this to taste with a sugar free sweetener
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder: This is perfect for a keto chocolate chia seed pudding
  • Vanilla extract

  2. Mix or blend to incorporate, then let it sit in the fridge overnight. Top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup or shavings.
