Tool Requirements

To make your keto banana chia seed pudding, you’ll need a few handy tools.

Start with a mixing bowl and a fork to mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

A measuring spoon will help you portion out the chia seeds and sweetener accurately.

For mixing the ingredients thoroughly, a whisk or spoon will work well. If you prefer a creamier texture, a blender can be useful for combining everything seamlessly.

Lastly, have airtight containers ready for storing your pudding in the fridge, keeping it fresh and delicious for days. With these tools, you’re all set to whip up this tasty treat!

Preparing The Ingredients

Start with ripe bananas. You want them a bit spotty. This makes them sweeter. Peel and mash them in a bowl with a fork until smooth.

Next, grab your chia seeds. These little seeds are full of nutrients. Measure about two tablespoons.

You’ll also need coconut milk or any plant-based milk you like. Pour one cup into the banana mixture. Stir well to mix it all up.

Add a bit of vanilla extract for flavor. Just a teaspoon will do. Mix it in so it’s even.

Serving Suggestions

• You can enjoy your keto banana chia seed pudding in several fun ways. Try adding a handful of your favorite nuts for a crunchy twist. Sliced almonds or walnuts work great.
• If you like a touch of sweetness, consider drizzling a bit of sugar-free syrup on top. It adds flavor without extra carbs.
• A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg can give it a cozy, warming aroma. Perfect for cool mornings or chilly nights.
• For a fresh burst, toss in a few berries like raspberries or blueberries. They’re low in carbs and bring a nice pop of color.
• Chilled pudding is fantastic, but you can also try warming it slightly. It’s comforting on a cold day and brings out the banana flavor.
• Consider serving it in small jars or bowls for a pretty, individual serving option. It makes for easy presentation.
• Feel like indulging a bit? Whipped coconut cream can be thick and creamy, a nice addition to round out your pudding dish.
• If you’re making it for a party, layer the pudding with berries or nuts in a tall glass. It looks fancy but is so simple to do.

Storage Tips

• When you make banana chia pudding, keeping it fresh is key. Put your pudding in an airtight container. This stops air from getting in and helps keep your pudding tasty.
• Store the container in the fridge. Your pudding will stay good for up to five days. This means you can make it ahead of time and enjoy it during the week.
• Before you eat it, give it a quick stir. This mixes everything nicely in case it’s settled. You can eat it straight from the fridge or let it sit out for a few minutes if you prefer it a bit warmer.
• If you make a big batch, you can freeze some to eat later. Use a freezer-safe container and label it with the date. When you want to enjoy your frozen treat, just let it thaw in the fridge overnight.
