Keto Spiced Blackberry Chia Pudding

5 stars, average of 4 ratings

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.

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?
