    The chia pudding craze is for real guys. This stuff is amazingly delicious and it's packed with heart healthy chia seeds that keep you full until lunch.  Now that everyone is doing the keto diet, it's even more popular.  It's a superfood pudding that satisfies your sweet tooth and fills you up.

    How Healthy is Chia Seed Pudding?

    Well, it's packed with goodness!

    • calcium
    • phosphorus
    • fiber
    • protein
    • omega-3 fatty acids

    Not a bad line up, eh?

    I know meal prepping is hard and there are many weeks when I just can't muster the strength and energy to do it but it's SO worth it.

    Whether you are trying to lose weight or just eat healthier planning ahead is the best way to do it. I find that when I plan my meals on Sunday and do some prepping of proteins and veggies I save money on groceries and waste less food.

    We can all benefit from that!

    This Chocolate Chia Pudding is so easy to whip up on Sunday and then you have the most delicious on the go breakfasts ready during the week. Use any type of milk you have in the fridge like almond, coconut or cashew milk.  Top it with an endless array of healthy superfoods to take it over the top...

    Chia Seed Pudding Toppings...

    • coconut flakes
    • chocolate chips (I like Lily's stevia-sweetened chips)
    • berries
    • banana slices
    • almonds, peanuts, pistachios, walnuts
    • nut butter
    • dried fruit

    If you make these ahead of time, plan for them to last about 4-5 days in the refrigerator.  Give them a quick stir when you are ready to eat them.

        Yes, I would add a tsp or so but it's up to your taste preference.

      I tried making this for my first attempt at chia pudding but it turned into a big clump of chia seeds at the bottom and liquid sitting on top 🙁 when I tasted it it was also super bitter, where could I have gone wrong?

        So sorry Jesse. The only thing I can think of is that it should have been mixed more. Maybe you need to go in after about 30 minutes of chilling and stir it well again. As far as the bitter goes, I'm not sure bc the recipe calls for stevia. Maybe you needed to add more. Did you use the liquid stevia because it is concentrated and very sweet. I've haven't had this problem but I made a note in the recipe. Thanks for letting me know and good luck!

      The nutritional values say 18 carbs. I am assuming this is for the whole recipe and not per serving, correct? Which would make it about six carbs per serving .

        Hi Kellie, It's per serving and this makes 3 servings.

          If you want to lower the carbs you leave out the cocoa and just makes this vanilla flavored.
