Orange Creamsicle Chia Pudding is the perfect high protein, low carb, Keto, friendly breakfasts. It also makes a great snack. This recipe is on the go friendly as well! Chia pudding is always fun to eat and it’s even more fun to flavor it with your favorite fruit.
This recipe is in collaboration with Silk® plant-based products and Sprouts Farmers Market. Silk has been pioneering the plant-based industry for over 25 years. They are the original creators of refrigerated dairy-free beverages!
Silk was born right here in Colorado when they started experimenting with Soy beverages and now they have a full line of plant-based products. I tend to go for their plant-based beverages. This recipe in particular calls for their Coconut-Almond Blend . The coconut flavor really makes this Pudding more tropical in flavor as we head into citrus season.
What is chia and chia seed pudding?
Chia pudding is a thick pudding like milk. It is typically made out of a plant-based beverage and chia seeds soaked overnight. Chia seeds are high in omega 3’s (alpha-linolenic) and fats. They are very low in carbohydrates and they satiate well. If you are looking for more ways to use chia, check out my Overnight Oats recipe.

However, if you aren’t sharing you can keep your second serving in the fridge for a day or so. Just make sure you stir it up again before chowing down because the chia seeds can stick together sometimes.
