    Eat less Chia pudding.

    Or use a low calorie liquid (water perhaps) and don't add calorie dense extras

    There are a multitude of different flavors you can create (Google chia pudding recipes).
    1 tablespoon of chia seeds have about 60 calories, so anything you add will add calories (except water).
    You can make a batch and divide it into however many portions you want to control the calorie count. There is a orange creamscicle one that have a lot and really like.

    I always add vanilla extract and maybe some maple syrup to sweeten mine on a budget

    It won't be low calorie, but I mix chia seeds into flavored kefir, usually strawberry or blueberry, and let it sit overnight. I get probiotics and calcium along with my chia that way, it tastes good and it's simple. If you use the artificially sweetened kefir it will be lower in calories but I can't stand most things with artificial sweetener.

    In case anyone is still seeking chia pudding recipes, this is one has great flavor AND amazing texture if you use a powerful blender or food processor. It comes in just under 200 calories (recipe makes 2 servings)

    We have tried about 10 different chia pudding recipes, most of them pretty good, but my husband says this is unbelievable and I agree it's VERY good!

    I’m new to this. So does this chia pudding help with weight loss? I have a bag of chia seeds and wonder is it ok to add it in my yogurt?

    Any food can help with weight loss if it helps you adhere to your calorie goal.

    Chia seeds have some fiber and protein and being able to make a pudding with them is nice. But I could imagine that some might find the texture off-putting.

    Hi y'all.

    I sometimes add chia seeds to scrambled eggs at 5 g per whole egg.
    I don't even notice them.

    Almond milk only has 35 calories a cup, but no nutrition.

    Almond milk does have some nutrition value, not none.
