Keto Chia Seed Pudding
This dish is rich in fiber, particularly chia seeds that tend to swell in your stomach and hence you will not feel hungry again. Chia seeds are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which are useful for the heart, and aid in decreasing inflammation. Being a pudding, the dish is quite low in carbs but high in healthy fats that are necessary for living in ketosis. Perhaps it is that too because it is rather flexible, and one can add vanilla, cocoa, or berries to it, and is good to eat at breakfast, as a dessert, or a snack. However, it becomes very simple to prepare and can actually be prepared beforehand and thus is quite convenient and fulfilling to prepare in keto diets.

Tips
• Stir Well: Remember, though, to stir the contents when adding these ingredients to the blender because the oil will float on top. This affords the chia seeds the necessary protection from clumping.
• Adjust the Thickness: If you find it too thick, you can add a little more almond milk or any liquid of your choice. If you add more chia seeds then required, then it becomes very thick, if it is very thin, then add a little more chia seeds and wait for 1 hour.
• Flavor Variations: If you are bored with the usual taste, you can stir in some unsweetened cocoa powder, cinnamon or few drops of peppermint extract.
• Top it Off: Top with some fresh low carb berries such as raspberries or strawberries or complement with some unsweetened shredded coconut.
