Is chia porridge Keto?

Yes, chia porridge is Keto. Chia seeds are considered a staple in the ketogenic diet. Even though they have about 12 grams of total carbs per 2 tablespoons of serving, they are high in fiber, reducing the total net carb count to about 1.5g. Chia porridge makes for a good Keto breakfast or snack idea since it is loaded with fiber, making it filling and satisfying.

Can you eat porridge on Keto?

Traditional porridge is usually loaded with a lot of processed sugar and high-carb components, which is not suitable for a Keto diet. However, you can still eat a delicious porridge alternative on a Keto diet as long as it is made from low-carb, high-fat ingredients such as hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, coconut flour, and almond flour. Combining these ingredients makes for a delicious and filling Keto-friendly morning bowl of porridge.

Can you make this Keto porridge ahead of time?

Yes, you can make a big batch of this Keto porridge to enjoy for breakfast throughout the week. Once done making, allow the porridge to cool down. Transfer to an air-tight container. Store in the fridge for up to 7 days. When ready to eat, adjust the consistency with a splash of milk. Add your desired toppings and enjoy.

Recipe Steps

steps 3

25 min

  • Step 1

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the coconut milk to a slight simmer, then turn off the heat. Add the chia seeds, 1.5 tablespoons desiccated coconut, ground flaxseeds, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and stevia. Stir to combine until the mixture begins to thicken. It should have a gel-like consistency.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Leave the chia porridge on the countertop for about 5 to 6 minutes. This will allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell up, giving the porridge its structure. Adjust the sweetness to your taste.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Pour the porridge into a bowl. Top the porridge with ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon, ½ tablespoon desiccated coconut, and strawberries. Enjoy with a cup of warm tea.

    Ingredients list says 1-1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon but the instructions say tablespoons. Which is it? That’s a lot of cinnamon?

      I tried this today and it really did satisfy craving for porridge or even something sweet. Also quite filling. Cold could be lovely desert which could be at least 2 portions.

        What is the coconut milk beverage? Is that the same as coconut milk in a can?

          The ingredients mention erythritol, the preparation stevia. So, which is best used and how much stevia?
