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 love how you recreated the bread-y taste with healthy ingredients! I’ve never a Brit-style summer bread pudding but I saw one on the Great British Bake-Off and it sounds yum! We don’t do cool stuff with bread nearly as often over here. ;)

I love that you watch the Great British Bake-Off! That’s one of my favourite shows ever. I’m already excited about the next season. It’s a really old-fashioned dessert but the flavour is really nostalgic :-)

What a glorious coloured smoothie. Summer berries are wonderful used this way and make a pleasant change from green smoothies. I’m now wondering about what it might be like with the bread too!!!
Aimee says
Haha! I just couldn’t bring myself to add bread to a smoothie. Berry smoothies are the best!
