Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding (1)

Shout out to all my fellow peanut butter cup lovers. This chocolatey peanut butter chia seed pudding is how we get candy inspired breakfast, but in a *healthy* way and made with simple ingredients.

Aside from the fact that it’s loaded with chocolate and peanut butter I love the fact that it takes all of 5 minutes to throw everything together in a jar, mix it up, and store it in the fridge until morning so that this chia seeds have time to gel up and do their thing.

Chia Pudding F.A.Q.’s

How many servings does this recipe make?

  • This recipe makes enough for two serving. I know it might not look like much, but chia seeds are high in fibre and surprisingly filling. Two tablespoons which is the amount you get in one serving contains about 11g).

How long do chia puddings keep?

  • In general you can expect chia puddings to keep for about 5 days.
  • If you want to make these in bulk, you can also freeze your chia puddings for up to 2 months. Just make sure to remove them from the freezer and defrost in the fridge or at room temperature at least 4 hours before eating.

Can I use another nut butter or skip it altogether?

  • Yes! Use any other type of nut or seed butter in place of peanut butter. Try it withcashew butter,almond butterorhazelnut butter! Sunflower seed butter and pumpkin butter are also a great option if you want it nut free.
  • Use your choice of chunky or cream nut butter.
  • Feel free to omit the peanut butter/nut butter altogether for a plain chocolate chia pudding/ nut-free option.

Can I use PB2 (powdered peanut butter) if I want to reduce the calorie amount?

  • Absolutely! You can play around with the amounts to suite your preference, but I recommend adding 2 tablespoons of PB2/powder peanut butter. You don’t need to worry about mixing the PB2 with water first to make this.

Can I use a low carb sweetener?

  • Yes! The amount of sweetener you use will depend on the type of sweetener you choose. You should check the packaging on your preferred sweetener for recommendations on how to sub it in recipes. I always recommend starting with a small amount and adding to taste so that you don’t end up accidentally over doing it.

    This is NOT low FODMAP. Ugh. A 1/4 cup (40 g) of chia seeds is not low FODMAP. A serving size of 2 tbsp or 24 g is considered low FODMAP. Use the Monash FODMAP for reference, please. This error in judgement makes me worried for your other recipes that are labeled “low FODMAP” and could therefore trigger someone’s digestive symptoms if they follow your recipes.

      Hi Anthony! If you look at the serving suggestion in the recipe card it does state that this recipes makes enough for 2 servings. Since there are 4 tablespoons in 1/4 cup there are 2 tablespoons of chia seeds per serving of this chia pudding.

      I’m glad you raised this though because I’ll add a note to the recipe to clarify the servings as I’d hate for someone to miss that and eat too much!

      By the way, I do use the Monash app to check FODMAPs for my Low FODMAP recipes. That being said, I’ve been sharing recipes for about 9 years now. Back in the early days of this website around the time when I needed to make Low FODMAP foods for health reasons, there was a lot less information available about the diet. There were a lot more foods that were considered safe that are now considered low fodmap only in specific amounts. For the most part I think I’ve updated or added notes to old recipes that might have outdated info, but every now and then I’ll find one that needs fixing. With all that being said, I do genuinely appreciate when those mistakes are pointed out to me because so I can fix it if needed.

    Thank you so much. This is delicious and I have shared it multiple times in my fitness groups. I changed it up a little and add 160-180g of Greek yogurt, 90g protein powder and more chia, 60g instead of 40 but get 3 serves this way. So so good x
