The Chocolate chia seed pudding with almond milk is one of the best healthy breakfast to start the day. Bonus, this chia seed pudding recipe is sugar-free and dairy-free too A vegan keto pudding with only 3.7 grams net carbs per serve.
A chocolate chia seed pudding is a healthy breakfast recipe combining chia seeds and milk to create a smooth, creamy breakfast bowl. It has a similar texture to tapioca pudding, it’s creamy with slimy round bites of seeds. However, puddings made of chia are healthier than the ones made of tapioca pearls. Indeed, the chia seeds are super seeds!
They contain almost no carbs, lots of vitamins, and fiber. Chia seeds are also loaded with 34 grams of fiber per 100 grams. In fact, that’s this high amount of fiber that provides the amazing properties of chia seeds. They are highly liquid-absorbent and double in size when soaked in water or milk, creating a creamy, silky smooth texture like pudding.
Chocolate pudding with chia is a very easy 4-ingredient recipe. The only difference from one recipe to another is the chia pudding ratio and milk used in the recipe. As a main rule, if you want to get a silky smooth texture, you must use 1/4 cup of chia seeds per 1 1/4 cup of milk or 45 grams of chia seeds per 300 ml of milk. In this chocolate pudding recipe, we use unsweetened dairy-free milk to limit calories, carbs, and sugar. All you need to make this delicious chocolate chia seed pudding is:
Chia seeds are very bland in flavor, they mainly had a slimy texture to breakfast and desserts. If you are not a big fan of the viscous texture of the super seeds, you can grind them. Grinding the chia seeds into a powder will essentially remove the slimy seed texture. Also, it will create smoother, creamier pudding more like a keto dessert. But, hey who will complain about dessert for breakfast right? Of course, the chia seed ratio in my ground chocolate chia seed pudding is different as the ground chia seeds are more water-absorbent.
This pudding recipe is perfect to start the day on a vegan keto diet. Most of the carbs in chia are fiber. Therefore, one serve of this breakfast bowl has only 6.9 grams of net carbs.

Hi, I’m fairly new to keto and experimenting a lot. Do you think this would work with homemade hemp milk (vs. almond milk)? I’m trying to get into using more hemp for its nutritional properties. Thanks!
Yes sure! Enjoy, XOXO Carine
What quantity is a serving?
As mention in the recipe this recipe serve 8 people. Nutrition panel is for 1 serve – divide your full pudding into 8 bowls each one is a serve. It is about 1 /2 cup. I hope this help. XOXO Carine.
This looks absolutely;y decadent. I can’t wait to give it a try!
Hi Erica, I hope you enjoy it such a great healthy breakfast!
This looks so, so good. I have yet to start using Stevia – I’ve really been trying to break my sugar ‘addiction’; I wonder if stevia would totally derail this and make me crave sweet things again?
Hi Julie, I am not eating any sugar for 3 yeas now and stevia does the trick for me. The first 15 days going sugar free are pretty difficult because your taste buds are so used to it. But then it gets natural and after years you can’t barely eat sugar. Stevia is really a great solution as it doesn’t rise your blood sugar level. I hope you try the recipe! You will love it. Carine.
If there’s chocolate, i’m in. ALWAYS! This is great on-the-go breakfast!
Ahaha yeah! another chocolate lover like me ! enjoy Jacquee! xoxo Carine.
That is such a tasty looking pudding! I love how you have layered on the chocolate flavor while keeping the sugars very low.
Hi Annemarie, thank you SO much for this lovely comment. I hope you enjoy the recipe too. See you soon on the blog xoxo Carine.
This looks so luscious and rich — the fact that it’s low in sugar and dairy free is over-the-top!
Hi Lisa, it is rich indeed but very healthy and conforting for breakfast. I am very addicted to this chocolate pudding, I had to share it here!
I LOVE this recipe, especially the idea of using it as a healthy dessert treat for the kids and also freezing it as a popsicle!
