Low-carb chia pudding
Ingredients
- 1 cup 240 ml unsweetened, canned coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk

- ½ tsp ½ tsp vanilla extract
Per serving
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients in a glass bowl or jar. Mix well.
- Cover, place in the fridge to let gel overnight (or for at least 4 hours). Before you dig in, check to be sure the pudding has thickened and the chia seeds have gelled.

Tip!
For a different flavor, try adding some cinnamon, cardamom, unsweetened cocoa powder, dry matcha tea or nut butter to your chia pudding. The possibilities are endless!

1 cup of coconut milk = 13g carbs, therefore...
3/4 cup of coconut milk = 9.75g carbs
2 tbsp of chia seeds = 12g carbs
total carbs = 21.75g carbs?
Yes, the canned works better because of the higher fat content.
That substitution should work well.
This should keep for at least 3-4 days in the refrigerator, potentially longer.
We call for unsweetenerd coconut because sweetened coconut usually includes sugar.
This recipe calls for the full chia seeds. The ground chia may work well but we have not tested it.
Probably if you water down the heavy cream it would work better. I think I read somewhere about people who miss drinking a glass of milk just water down heavy cream to get something drinkable without the carbs of milk.
The ingredients are in a glass bowl or jar, so blending until smooth in this case just means until everything is mixed. I'll ask the recipe team to clarify!

I am sorry that it didn't thicken as expected, I hope it works well for you as ice cream!
I find it interesting that my husband also prefers his berries from frozen rather than fresh for the same reason. Great job being mindful of the added carbs!
This is a moderate low carb recipe, so carbs are a bit higher than usual. Make sure to calculate the nutritional value based on the ingredients you use.
