Summer pudding is a traditional British dessert made up of bread, soaked in the juice of summer berries. I’ve had the idea to make it into a smoothie flavour for a while now and the result is SO delicious!
Don’t worry though – there is no bread in this smoothie. Instead, I’ve used oats and flaxseed to give that bread-y taste with the added nutritional benefits.
So now I have the flavour of this classic summer dessert in the form of a delicious, healthy breakfast! It’s high in protein, omega 3 and fibre, making it the perfect start to the day.
And not only does this smoothie taste good and is good for you but it looks good too! Look at the pretty colour… so vibrant and uplifting.
So much summer berry goodness!

I grew up in Canada and loved the breakfast pudding as well. Maybe that’s why I love throwing oats in my smoothies too, it reminds me of back home :). And your colors, so pretty and vibrant! That’s my kind of smoothie right there!
Aimee says
Thank you, Nicole! I agree – pudding-style breakfasts are the BEST.
Rozi says
This is absolutely yummy. I used coconut milk because that’s all I had and loved the added flavor. I also added a pinch of chai seeds just because! Thanks for your time with all of these recipes.
Aimee says
Hi Rozi, thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed this smoothie! And your addition of the chai flavour sounds AMAZING!
nadia says
Can you believe I’ve never tried summer pudding!! Shameful! Maybe I can make this instead since it’s healthy and looks stunning! Love the vibrant colour :D
Aimee says
To be honest, it’s a pretty old-fashioned dessert – you don’t see it an awful lot nowadays but it’s still considered a classic :-) Thanks Nadia!
