Chia pudding is one of our favourite egg free breakfasts. It is really easy to make and this Chia parfait takes the every day chia pudding to the next level. It would be perfect to serve for a weekend brunch with friends or as a low carb dessert as part of a dinner party.
This is a sponsored post by Low Carb Emporium, Australia’s leading online shop for our favourite keto friendly products. All products recommended in this post are based on our personal favourites.
Black Forest Keto Chia Parfait
We have been thinking about creating a black forest flavoured dessert for a while and feel this black forest keto chia parfait captures the black forest flavours perfectly.
Black Forest Flavours
A typical black forest cake would be a chocolate cake with cherries and whipped cream sandwiched between the cake layers. So we took that inspiration and used cacao powder in the chia pudding, sugar free cherry jam and marscapone cheese for the cherry and whipped cream.
Hawthorne Hill Farm Sugar Free Jams
We first found these guys when we were on a weekend away in Launceston and we went and checked out Evandale Sunday markets. You could imagine our excitement when we saw sugar free jams, sweetened using xylitol.
They have sugar free varieties of the following:
- Hawthorne
- Apricot
- Blueberry
- Raspberry
- Strawberry
- Rhubarb and Apple
- Blackberry
- Cherry
- Blackberry
- Mixed berry
- Orange and Lemon Marmalade
- Lemon and Lime Marmalade
We buy our jam from Low Carb Emporium.
Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are easily found in the health food section of most supermarkets in Australia. They are little black or white seeds. We usually use the black chia seeds for our chia parfait. Chia seeds provide an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, iron and calcium and are packed full of anti-oxidants.
We use them in our granola and our Keto chia puddings.
LOW CARB EMPORIUM
Low Carb Emporium is the premium online low carb website in Australia. They launched in October 2017 and have grown to be the stockists of the best low carb products Australia has to offer. We love Low Carb Emporium and place an order with them every couple of months. Although at the moment it feels like we are ordering more like every couple of weeks.
Jack and Yvonne have gone from shipping products out of their garage to now needing a warehouse to distribute all our favourite products. We were lucky enough to be invited to check out their new premises and were impressed by all the wonderful products they have in stock now.

Egg free breakfasts
We often see people asking for breakfast options that aren’t bacon eggs. I think people new to keto get really excited that you can have bacon and eggs on a “diet” and go down the path of eating them every day. After while they start looking for other breakfast options. Some find bacon and eggs time consuming in the morning and want something they can eat in the car on the way to work or on the run.
As much as we LOVE bacon and eggs we also enjoy different breakfast options from time to time.
here are some great breakfast options.
- Pecan pie keto oatmeal
- Bulletproof bone broth
- Keto breakfast muffins
- Keto cheesecake muffins
- Chocolate fat bomb smoothie
- Keto chia pudding
- Keto granola
