Carbs in Chia Seeds

Ingredients for this Keto Pudding Recipe
- ¾ cup ground chia seeds
- 2 ¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 scoop low carb chocolate protein powder
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Heat the almond milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Once it becomes hot, dissolve the erythritol in the milk and set aside to cool.
Once it has cooled, pour into a mixing bowl, add the ground chia seeds to the bowl. Make sure the chia seeds are very finely ground - a coffee grinder works well for this.
Add the cocoa powder, protein powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk well until combined - the chia seeds will begin to expand and form a pudding texture.
Cool in the fridge for a few hours, and then serve cold with freshly chopped walnuts, dark chocolate shavings, or other keto-friendly toppings. Enjoy!
