If you’re in the mood for something sweet in the morning and you want to start your day full of energy and feel satisfied until lunchtime, treat yourself to this Vegan Chocolate Orange Breakfast Pudding.
It’s so easy to make, ready in just 5 minutes and packed with plant-based protein, healthy fats and fiber that are great for gut health and help to curb sugar cravings. You can make it fresh or prepare it the night before and take it with you on the go the next morning!
You basically just put everything into a blender - the more powerful your blender, the creamier the result will be. You can use frozen zucchini as a ‘low carb’ base of the pudding, or banana for a fruity version.
The pudding is vegan, dairy free, sugar free and simply irresistible. If you’re a fan of chocolate orange treats, add a few drops of orange essential oil.
The vegan keto chocolate protein powder will give the pudding its sweet chocolate flavor + it’s great to add a healthy serving of plant-based protein to your breakfast. If you don’t have it at home, just use your sweetener of choice and flavor the pudding with a little extra cacao if needed. Extra benefit: raw cacao will help to boost your feel good hormones!
I also like to add a spoonful of ALL GOOD MCT oil to stabilize my blood sugar and stay satisfied for longer. It is made from 100% coconut but has a neutral taste, so you won’t notice it.
Enjoy!
Love,

Vegan Chocolate Orange Breakfast Pudding. Ready in just 5 minutes!
DIRECTIONS:
- Put all the ingredients (except for the toppings) in a powerful high-speed blender and blend until smooth. You can choose to use frozen zucchini for a lower carb smoothie, or you can use banana – fresh or frozen. If you’re using frozen zucchini/banana, it’s essential that your blender is strong enough for a creamy result.
- If you’re making the smoothie with frozen zucchini: rinse and dry the zucchini the day/night before, cut into small pieces and freeze overnight. It has a neutral flavor and is packed with vitamin C!
- If you’re using frozen banana: peel the banana, break or cut into pieces and freeze overnight. You can also just use fresh banana.
- Taste the smoothie when you make it. Not sweet/chocolaty enough? Add extra chocolate protein powder or other sweetener of your choice and/or cacao to flavor the smoothie. Also: the riper the avocado, the better.
JULIE’S TIPS & TRICKS:
- Optionally, you can add 1 to 3 teaspoons psyllium husk powder for extra fiber and gut health, and to make this pudding super thick and creamy.
- If you’re not a fan of chocolate orange flavor, just omit the orange essential oil. It will taste just as yummy, especially if you add peanut butter.
Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried the pudding and if you’re looking for more easy breakfast recipes that you can take with you on the go.
