Chia Pudding?

Caralyn · May 2018

I am new (again) to MFP and I need a recipe for chia pudding with the lowest possible calorie count. Anyone?

I use 3 Tbs chia and 3/4 cup milk of choice and let it sit overnight in the fridge. It comes out pretty thick which I like, but you can add more milk if you prefer it a little looser. Almond milk only has 35 calories a cup, but no nutrition. Ripple pea milk has 70 calories a cup and 8 grams protein, so I usually use that. You can add a teaspoon of sweetener of choice, and I usually add 1/2 cup of berries. You can also add any flavorings you like, vanilla or pie spice for example. Today's breakfast with Ripple, 1 tsp maple syrup, and 1/2 cup of Wyman's triple berry blend was 285 calories. You could use no calorie sweetener and shave off 17 calories and use almond milk and save a few more calories if that's your goal. I should add that this is what I eat for breakfast, not as a dessert, so that's a good calorie count for a meal for me.

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 does have some nutrition value, not none.
