Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Chia seeds
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol or low-carb sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, erythritol, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Stir the mixture well to make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the liquid. This initial mixing is crucial to prevent the seeds from clumping together.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This will give the chia seeds time to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
Stir the pudding after the first hour to ensure even distribution of the chia seeds and to check the consistency.
Once set, give the pudding a final stir and divide it into four serving dishes.
Top each serving with fresh berries and unsweetened coconut flakes if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your low-carb sago (chia seed) pudding.
