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.
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.
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.
How To Make Chia Pudding

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.
Crucial Products
This keto chia pudding recipe is made with collagen powder!
This is what gives the baked oats such a high protein hit without adding any protein powder.
Collagen is a beneficial part of bone broth and is wonderful for your hair, skin, and nails. Learn more about collagen and why you may want to boost your intake. However, unlike bone broth, it doesn’t taste like well, bone broth.
Similarly, collagen powder is odorless and flavorless. Plus, if ethically sourced is one of the purest forms of protein you can give to your kids!
I grab my collagen from Perfect Supplements because they source their collagen from pasture-raised (grass-fed) cows. So, I trust it.

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.
