Ingredients You’ll Need
Chia seeds: one of three foods I think every toddler should have in their diet they’re so good! Make sure to use whole chia seeds and not ground.
Full fat coconut milk: grab the milk from the can because this is what gives the keto chia pudding its ultra-rich feel. Learn everything you need to know about coconut milk
Collagen powder: one of the purest sources of protein and a great one to mix into something like chia pudding. Learn more about how collagen powder differs from protein powder.
Vanilla: the purer your vanilla extra is the more potent the flavor. This is why I love Madagascar vanilla for special occasions. Learn more about the types of vanilla and which one is best for this recipe.
Vanilla stevia or liquid stevia: the vanilla stevia gives it more flavor but any stevia will work. Personally, I use the liquid version but you can adjust to taste.

Important Teaching Tips
If you find that your chia seed pudding tends to clump to the bottom and leave the liquid on top, there’s a solution for that!
Whisk up your keto chia pudding and five to ten minutes later, go whisk it again. Because the seeds absorb so quickly this makes it perfect every single time.
This chia seed pudding is best made the night before (like this coffee chia pudding) and left to sit in the fridge until ready to eat. In a sealed container, it will last up to two days in the fridge.
Regular stevia will work in place of vanilla stevia.
You can top the keto chia pudding with anything you love so long as it fits into your dietary guidelines. We do a lot of toasted nuts, keto granola, and berries.
Choosing Collagen Powder
It’s no surprise that this keto chia pudding is made with collagen powder!
All the protein without the bloat.
I use collagen powder for amping up protein and boosting gut health.
Learn about the difference between collagen and bone broth as how to increase protein intake.
Honestly, as a busy mom collagen powder just makes it easy to eat more protein and not feel like I’m living off chicken and eggs.
And more protein means more energy, more natural beauty, and feeling your BEST.
Plus, in recipes like this, you can sneak protein into your kids as it’s one of the purest sources.
I grab my collagen from Perfect Supplements because they source their collagen from pasture-raised (grass-fed) cows. So, I trust it.
Grab some collagen powder and use code mamabear10 to save some money.
Easy to mix, this collagen powder adds a protein punch to anything you pair it with. Made from pasture-raised (grass-fed) cows there are no pesticides, hormones, or filler agents. Just put collagen protein. Use code mamabear10 to save money on your next order.

Frequently Asked Questions About Keto Chia Pudding
For some people, chia pudding feels too slimy for their preference. To avoid this, blend the chia seeds with the other ingredients. This makes the chia pudding come out much more smooth (though sometimes not as thick)
It’s not common but like anything else, chia seeds can go bad. If you want to extend the life of your chia seeds, store them in a sealed jar in the fridge. Stored like that, chia seeds should last at least a year unless liquid gets into the jar as you use it. You’ll know your chia seeds have gone bad if they start to clump together. Otherwise, I wouldn’t worry about it.
Yes! Chia seeds are high in healthy fats but low in carbs making them a great addition to a keto diet. Just make sure to pair them with equally keto ingredients if you’re making something like chia pudding.
Almond milk tends to be higher in carbohydrates than canned coconut milk. So, for a low-carb diet, canned coconut milk is better and more satiating than almond milk.
