Looking for a quick and delicious keto snack or breakfast? This Easy Chia Seed Pudding is creamy, satisfying, and packed with healthy fats — all while being super low in carbs.
Why Chia Pudding is Great for Keto
Chia seeds absorb liquid and swell to create a thick, pudding-like texture without the need for grains or starches. They’re also rich in:
- Omega-3 fatty acids — support heart health and reduce inflammation
- Soluble fiber — helps with digestion and satiety
- Plant-based protein — great for maintaining muscle on a ketogenic diet
Stat Spotlight: According to a 2017 review in Nutrition Reviews, regular consumption of chia seeds can help lower LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, making them a smart choice for heart health on keto.
