How about some chocolate and peanut butter infused chia pudding? This low FODMAP recipe takes little time to mix up and makes a nice snack or dessert that provides both a fiber and magnesium boost to your diet.
I used a clean jelly jar to mix up the pudding and popped it in the fridge to set. The recipe makes 3-4 servings depending on how you use it. I like chia pudding as part of a fruit and nut parfait.
I used unsweetened cocoa powder to infuse a nice chocolate flavor. Chocolate and peanut butter are such a winning combo, right?
Add a dollop of this flavorful and nutritious pudding on top of your morning oats, mixed into your lactose free yogurt or as a flavor and fiber booster to your smoothie.
Here is the simple recipe:
Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding
Ingredients
- 3-4 servings.
- 1/4 cup chia seeds (I used black chia seeds)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon all natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 cup canned light coconut milk (I like Trader Joe's without added gums)
Instructions
- In small 16 ounce mason jar or other suitable clean jar with top, add all the ingredients.
- Place top on jar, and shake vigorously.
- Remove top, and stir, especially around the bottom of the jar to ensure all chia seeds are blended into mixture.
- Place top on jar, shake again, and pop container in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- Serving ideas: Enjoy 1/3 cup of the pudding on its own, place a tablespoon or two in your smoothie, or on top of your morning oats, or layer in a fruit parfait.
Have a great week my FODMAPer friends!

Yum, I love chia pudding. I like to blend mine so it’s smooth and creamy like regular pudding.

So Megan do you blend the mixture in a blender? I haven’t tried that.
Megan King
Yes, it is so good. I like to do a “cake batter” version with almond butter, vanilla extract, chia, oats, milk, almond extract.

This looks great! I’ve never had good luck with chia seed puddings setting, but I will try again.
How long does it last in the refrigerator?

If you don’t have luck with chia pudding, you might try another brand of chia seeds…some work better than others. I like Bob’s Red Mill brand.

I love chia seeds! Does this work with almond milk instead of coconut milk?
katescarlata
It should work well w/almond milk too!

Hi Kate, how long will this last in the fridge?

Should last 5 days in a covered jar.
