Vanilla Low Carb Chia Pudding with Fresh Blueberry Sauce makes a nutritious, delicious meal on the go!

Vanilla Low Carb Chia Pudding with Fresh Blueberry Sauce Front View

Vanilla pudding is one of those desserts that people seem to be very nostalgic about. Maybe it was a Handi-Snack tucked into your lunchbox or maybe it was a homemade from-scratch family recipe. Or maybe it was those boxes of JELL-O instant vanilla pudding. Whatever the reason, if you have a soft spot for vanilla pudding, you’ll want to try this low carb chia pudding.

Once you learn the basic method for making chia pudding, you’ll find that it’s easy to make a ton of variations. You can go with chocolate, nut butter, or any fruit that strikes your fancy. Here I made a quick fresh blueberry sauce thickened with a little pectin.

Nutritional Value of Chia Seeds

According to the USDA, here is the nutrition information for 2 tablespoons of chia seeds:

Trans Fat: 0g

Cholesterol: 0mg

Is Chia Pudding Good for Weight Loss?

Chia seeds are a good source of fiber and are low in net carbs, so they’re easy to fit into just about any way of eating, whether it’s paleo, low carb, keto, etc. Chia seeds can be a very helpful tool for eating nutritious, real food-based recipes, such as chia pudding. And when you’re trying to lose weight, even though it’s not the full story, calories in versus calories out is also a consideration (read an interesting article on this topic on Healthline).

When you make chia seeds into chia pudding, remember that the end result is only as healthy as the ingredients you put into it. In particular, be mindful of the liquid and sweetener you use. For example, if you want to keep this recipe paleo, maybe use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and honey as the sweetener. Or if you want to keep it vegan, almond milk and maple syrup may be good options. Here, I went with a low carb chia pudding option, using heavy cream and stevia.

How Long Is Low Carb Chia Pudding Good For?

This low carb chia pudding will stay good for up to five days in the fridge. I like to store it in individual lidded glass jars so they’re easy to grab and go.

    This hardened in the fridge after only a few hours. It was the consistency of play dough. I have absolutely no idea what happened. I made two changes: didn’t have vanilla extract so I used almond extract and I don’t care for Stevia so I used 1 tsp of granulated Swerve. Any thoughts?

      Claire, Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! Honestly, I have no idea; I’ve never experienced (or heard of) this happening with chia pudding before. If the only changes you made were the two you mentioned, I don’t think it would effect the outcome like this. It sounds like you needed more liquid, but this is quite odd if you used the amount of liquid and chia seeds that the recipe called for!

    Mine didn’t firm up like pudding like some I’ve made in the past. They were in the fridge overnight. Any idea why? Or, if I let them sit in there longer will they eventually firm up?

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣
