Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (no added sugar)
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1/4 cup Swerve sweetener
Berry Sauce (Optional)
- 1 cup frozen berries (or fresh)
- 3 tablespoons Swerve sweetener
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Mix Peanut Butter and Milk: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, powdered peanut butter, Swerve sweetener, and almond milk until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly so that they are evenly distributed in the peanut butter and almond milk mixture.
- Refrigerate the Pudding: Spoon the mixture into three small containers or jelly jars. Refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding. For best texture, stir the mixture after about 1 hour to prevent clumping.
- Prepare Berry Sauce: For the optional berry sauce, combine the berries, Swerve sweetener, and water in a small saucepan. Stir well and simmer over low heat until the berries break down and the sauce thickens.
- Break Down Berries: Use a fork or potato masher to mash the berries to your preferred consistency. Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool before using.
- Serve and Store: When ready to eat, enjoy the peanut butter chia pudding plain or spoon the berry sauce on top for a PB&J effect. Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For best results, stir the pudding halfway through refrigeration to avoid clumping.
- The berry sauce is optional but adds a delicious fruity sweetness without added sugars.
- You can use fresh or frozen berries interchangeably in the berry sauce.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while still delivering peanut flavor.
- Make sure to store the pudding in airtight containers to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
