3 of the Best Keto Chocolate Pudding Recipes (Quick & Creamy)
Chocolate pudding is one of those delicious treats right out of our childhood. Some people prefer their pudding to be whipped more like a mousse while others are looking for the chocolate dessert that comes from a box and can be made with plain old milk.
Whatever type of chocolate flavor and texture you are craving, we have options for you! If you are following a keto diet, we have more than one healthy option for you to try.
Can You Eat Sugar-Free Pudding on Keto?
When eating keto, it is essential for the foods you choose to be low in carbohydrates to keep you in ketosis. A good low-carb chocolate pudding should be made with a natural sugar substitute that does not raise your glycemic index.
Focus on the net carbs in a serving size to keep consistent with your diet.
