Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Low Carb
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, natural peanut butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are completely smooth and well integrated.
- Add the chia seeds to the mixture and stir vigorously to ensure they are evenly distributed and not clumping together.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a sealed container with a lid.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any potential seed clusters and ensure a uniform texture.
- Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts, a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream, or a few fresh berries for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, protein-rich, sugar-free peanut butter chia pudding.
Tips
- Choose the Right Sweetener: While erythritol is a great sugar substitute, feel free to use your favorite sweetener, whether it's stevia, monk fruit, or another option, to tailor the sweetness to your taste.
- Mix Thoroughly: Ensure that the peanut butter is well integrated with the almond milk before adding the chia seeds. This will help create a smooth and creamy texture without clumps.
- Chill for Best Results: For the best pudding consistency, refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal. This allows the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and swell up.
- Stir Before Serving: Chia seeds can sometimes settle at the bottom, so give your pudding a good stir before serving to ensure a uniform texture.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Enhance your pudding with toppings like chopped nuts, sugar-free whipped cream, or fresh berries to add flavor and a pop of color.
- Make It Ahead: This pudding is perfect for meal prep! Make a batch at the beginning of the week for a quick, healthy snack or breakfast option.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to add a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder for a flavor twist, or even swap out the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different taste experience.
