One of my favorites for breakfast. This dish is an alternative for overnight oats and the traditional Bircher Muesli. My husband and I ate this a lot while we were on a keto diet. However, whether we are on or off keto, it has become a staple in our home. This chia pudding is full of Omegas 3 & 6, protein, and fiber. I love this for breakfast – healthy and delicious!

What Makes it Keto, Vegan, & Gluten-Free?

This is a wonderful option for breakfast, especially if you’re looking for something besides overnight oats. Similar in feel to overnight oats, yet this is keto-friendly! So, this recipe is both gluten-free and ideal for those on the keto diet. Pssst…and it’s vegan. 🙂

I make it with chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, and almonds. These are nutritional powerhouses AND low in carbs, fiber-rich, and high in good fats.

Also, I add unsweetened coconut flakes, coconut milk, and almond butter. These are all good fats.

Additionally, this recipe is dairy-free, as I use coconut milk or almond milk. Usually, it just depends on what I have on hand.

Just a bit of pure vanilla extract adds another depth of flavor. However, if you also prefer a sweetener, add a few drops of stevia.

I top with berries, shredded coconut, sliced almonds, a teaspoon of almond or peanut butter, and a dash of cinnamon. Ahhh, the perfect breakfast! Well, this and coffee. Now, it’s perfect.

Quick, Easy, & Convenient

This recipe takes about 15 minutes to prep the day before. Super quick!

Mix all the ingredients and store in an airtight container. Transfer to the refrigerator and soak overnight. Super easy!

The “pudding” will be ready when you wake up. This recipe makes approximately 4 cups or 1 quart.

If you’re eating at home, portion out about 1 cup and add toppings.

If you’re eating on the go, after mixing the night before, divide the “pudding” equally among 4 mason jars or 4 airtight containers. Let it soak overnight. In the morning, add toppings and go. Super convenient!

tips, suggestions, & additional info

Feel free to change things up to your tastes and preferences. See some ideas below:

• Swap out the almonds for Brazil nuts. Macadamia nuts would also be good, or whichever nut you prefer.
• Omit the flax seeds and increase the nuts. Increase the nuts in the recipe to 1/2 cup when omitting the flax.
• Grind the flax seeds. This helps with the absorption of nutrients from the seeds. I have a small coffee grinder to use specifically for this purpose. I store the flax seeds whole and refrigerated, then grind them as needed. This helps keep the seeds fresh.
• The chia seeds will soak up a lot of the liquid overnight. This recipe is thicker than a regular chia pudding. If you prefer, add more coconut milk or almond milk for the desired consistency.
• Add dried fruit instead of berries. If you’re making it keto, dried fruit has a lot of sugar, so be mindful of the amount.

The more I make this recipe, the more I play around with it. Indeed, you can make it in so many different ways. I’d be interested to hear how you’ll make it, be sure to let me know in the comments below!
