Notes
- In my experience, allulose and erythritol work better for balancing out acidity than stevia or monk fruit.
- Excessive chia consumption can cause digestive distress. If unsure of your tolerance, I'd suggest a 2-serving limit of this pudding. In addition, this pudding is quite high in calories for a small portion of food. If enjoying it as part of a full meal, I'd suggest pairing it with some bulkier food items so you're not left feeling hungry.
