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!
