When I’m in need of a boost, I reach for this sugar-free, vegan peach chia pudding. Plant-based never tasted so good, and this yummy dessert is keto friendly too!
Lately, I’ve been trying to get in more fresh fruits and limiting my dairy. My go-to desserts this summer are chia pudding cups and no-bake keto cookies.

Are chia seeds keto friendly?
Chia seeds are a fantastic addition to a Keto diet! They’re low in carbohydrates but high in fiber, to keep you full.
You’ll get 12 grams of carbohydrates and 10 grams of fiber in one ounce (roughly a tbsp.).
And, since we don’t digest the fiber in chia seeds, you end up with net carbs at 2.
Is Chia gluten-free?
Chia is gluten-free by nature and may be used with a variety of ingredients to aid gluten-intolerant persons. And, the processed form of chia may occasionally be substituted for flour, making it an excellent option for a low-glycemic diet.
Chia is also high in antioxidants.
Ingredients you’ll need:
- Chia seeds : 6 Tablespoons
- Peaches: 1 cup
- Coconut milk : 2 cup
- Stevia : 2 Tablespoon
How to make chia pudding
I was super intimidated by chia at first, but its definitely the EASIEST low carb dessert.
- in a jar, combine chia and coconut milk and wait for 2+ hours (or overnight)
- blend peach curd + sweetener
- top chia mixture with peach curd and refrigerate for 30 minutes
Storing leftover chia pudding
The Peach chia pudding can be stored separately for a few days.
Recipe tips
- allow chia-milk to settle for 2-3 minutes, then mix well until you see no clumping before refrigerating
- Shake the jar up a few times to ensure the chia seeds don’t sink all to the bottom
- Cover the jar during refrigeration to prevent mixture from drying out
