Chia Pudding
Total Yield: 1 cup of pudding - 6 g of carbs
Serving Size: 1 cup of pudding - 6 g of carbs
Prep Time: <5 min
Ingredients: Carbs:
1 cup nut milk* 1 g
1/4 cup chia seeds 0 g**
1/8-1/4 c. nuts* 5 g
1 tsp extracts* 0 g
1 tsp cinnamon* 0 g
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl or mason jar and mix well. I usually do a jar so I can shake it to mix the ingredients. Let set for a few minutes, then stir/shake again. Refrigerate if making this the night before.
The chia seeds will gel to give it a consistency like pudding. If you don't stir, the chia seeds will all fall to the bottom and gel there.
You can make this the night before or not. My husband likes it both ways.
*We like to mix it up. Here are the variations we do with the carbs the ingredients have:
Milk: almond, coconut/almond, cashew, chocolate almond (unsweetened), Suja milk (1 c of each has about 1 g) (make sure it's unsweetened)
Nuts: sliced almonds (1/4 c - 6 g), chopped pecans (1/4 c - 4 g), cashews (1/8 c - 4 g), shelled pistachios (1/8 c - 4 g), macadamia (1/4 c - 5 g)
Spices: cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg
Extracts: almond, vanilla, maple, rum
Cocoa nibs: 1 tbsp - 2 g (we get these at Trader Joe's)
Peanut butter: 2 tbsp - 5 g (make sure this has no added sugar)
**Chia seeds have carbs, but they have very little effect on my husband's blood sugar.
Inspired by Adam Brown's recipe. Title aside, they have some other great combinations.
