Keto Hot Chia Cereal
Our Keto cereal recipe contains only a few ingredients: chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and some sweetener. The entire recipe is super easy to make as it is cooked in one saucepan. The recipe is straightforward to scale up to a larger batch for multiple people. This cereal is best eaten the day it is made. However, you can refrigerate any leftovers and eat as a cold chia pudding. Our Keto hot cereal is topped with frozen berries for a temperature contrast and cold heavy cream for extra fat.

How to Make It
Step 1
Combine the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, sweetener (or more to taste), and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Place the saucepan over a medium-high and whisk to incorporate the chia seeds as they tend to float on top of the liquid ingredients.
Step 2
Cook occasionally, stirring for 3-5 minutes or until the mixture has thickened into a porridge-like consistency. Pour the hot cereal into a small bowl. Top the mixture with heavy cream and frozen mixed berries.
Step 3
Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds on top and serve. Feel free to top the chia seed hot cereal with other low carb fruits and toppings like strawberries or unsweetened coconut flakes. If you like your cereal a bit sweeter, add a little extra sweetener or Keto maple syrup.
