All the flavours of delicious carrot cake in a quick and easy chia jar. These Low-carb Carrot Cake Chia Jars are a great way to start the day.

I’ve made these sugar and sweetener free for those of you who prefer things less sweet, but feel free to add a keto-friendly sweetener to taste if you prefer.

Chia pudding is so creamy and filling and yet super healthy. You can also make them dairy-free by using coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.

Breakfast or pudding? I love them for both!

Martina, these are delicious! I was craving a dessert like this, so thank you! I was out of nut milk and subbed with heavy cream, and it worked really well, and is still low carb (based on app macros through custom). Thank you again!

Thank you so much Jen, yes that is still really low in carbs! I sometimes make my chia pudding with heavy cream and a dash of water. I'm happy you enjoyed! 😊
