Keto Spiced Blackberry Chia Pudding

A few years ago I had this amazing cardamom chia pudding at an event and I fell in love. It was so unique and flavorful and I’ve been meaning to recreate it ever since.

Well now’s the time and this is just like I remember but even better. I’ve added in fresh blackberries and ginger to create a winning combo of flavors and swapped out what I’m sure was maple syrup for keto-friendly erythritol.

You’ll notice that I put “to taste” on the sweetener amount because it really depends on your taste level along with how sweet your blackberries are. Start with 1 tablespoon, taste, and go from there.

If you are nut-free, see other nut-free options here and use milk made from seeds of choice. You can even make your own poppy seed milk.

Hi! I was taking a look at your chia pudding recipe and got super excited when I saw that it was checked as "Nut free". I was then really dissapointed that it said to use almond or cashew milk. This is very misleading, especially for someone like me, who was sent to the hospital for my allergy to Cashews. I don't recommend putting nut free, if it's going to include any tree nuts!!!
I'll see if I can substitute the milk for another healthy, option because this sounds delicious!

Hi Danielle, thank you for letting me know! These things are sometimes easy to miss as there are many alternatives you can use in a recipe. The reason it was checked nut-free is because there are nut-free alternatives listed in the recipe but in this specific case I forgot to copy & paste the same tips I have in my other chia puddings. This is fixed now!

Would the coconut milk kefir on the blog be ok to use in place of the almond milk? And then recalculate the macros? Or do you think it would it make it too sour?

That's an interesting alternative. I tried chia seeds with yogurt and with kefir before and I liked it but it did get the sour yogurt flavour. I suppose it might help if you add a touch more sweetener?
