Are chia seeds keto friendly?

Chia seeds are great for a keto and low carb diet. A 1oz (28g) serving has 1g net carbs. The total carbs are 12g with the fiber being 11g making them filling as well as satisfying.

As well as being gluten and grain free, one tablespoon of these seeds has more calcium than a glass of milk. More Omega 3 than Salmon and more antioxidants than blueberries!

How to make pumpkin peanut butter chia pudding

Making a chia pudding is so easy I should ashamed of calling it a recipe! You add the ingredients ideally in a jar, mix and leave overnight for the chia seeds to expand. Then serve and eat!

The pumpkin puree

For the pumpkin puree you could use fresh or canned. If you use fresh, strain it so that the excess water is removed. For canned ideally, you want to use plain pumpkin puree. If you end up using pumpkin pie puree, check the list of ingredients for sneaky sugar and other ingredients

The peanut butter

We preferred to use smooth peanut butter for an even chia pudding, but a crunchy peanut butter will give extra texture. Try to use 100% peanut butter with no added sugar or palm oils too. As ever, check the ingredients.

The low carb sweetener

Ideally for a chia pudding a liquid low carb sweetener is best as it mixes well with the pudding ingredients. The next best is a powdered sweetener such as allulose or powdered monkfruit. If you do not have powdered low carb sweetener and only granular, run a tablespoon or two through a coffee grinder.

Recipe Tips

Add sugar free cocoa for a chocolate peanut pudding.

Serve with a couple of tablespoons of coconut or Greek yoghurt.

Add extra flavours such as pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon or ginger for an extra layer of flavour.

If you have a peanut allergy, substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or any other low carb nut butter.
