Savory Chia Pudding
Look at those little red spicy flecks of flavor.
Despite the wordy title, this six ingredient recipe is so simple, and is exactly how I imagined when I first considered it.
I have been enjoying this savory sweet alternative to regular chia pudding for some time now - usually with the addition of banana or my favorite - pineapple.
This is so SO very good with pineapple.
Pineapple, coconut milk, and red curry paste is my holy trinity.
Low Carb Options
No pineapple in this pudding today, though.
I just landed an ongoing project that revolves around low carb / keto, which is obviously showing up in glimpses here on the blog. Low carb is obviously a completely different way of eating from most of my recipes I share.
When I have labeled something low carb in the past, it is a purely natural occurrence - an 'oh, this happens to also be low carb!' kind of thing. Like when a food is accidentally vegan.
Some days I mostly feel like this gives me more opportunity to eat that extra piece of baguette.
Balance. It is all about balance.
But this Low Carb Red Curry Coconut Chia Pudding?
Definitely one of those treats so tasty, you do not feel like it is anything free. Super flavorful, rich and filling - this is a great breakfast, snack, or dessert.

This was absolutely DELICIOUS!! First time making a savory chia pudding and I will be making this a weekly staple! I had yellow curry paste already open, still amazing, FWIW. Topped with Kite Hill Greek Yogurt for added protein! Thank you for this recipe!!!
Don says
Question for you. Are you using canned coconut milk (as you'd use, say, in a curry recipe), or coconut milk from a carton, like you'd use in a latte? (Pretty different animals.) Thanks.
Kristina Sloggett says
oh, yes they sure are different, Don! sorry about that - I linked to the product, but did not specify it IS indeed the canned. (the one I linked to is a light coconut milk, so I must have used that one when creating / writing the recipe, rather than a full fat, which would definitely work as well.)
I have updated the ingredient listing to also include "canned." thank you!

I would never have thought to combine chia pudding with curry paste. I am intrigued but also slightly scared!
