Would you like to start your day by eating a breakfast that stabilises your blood sugar and helps you to burn fat for the WHOLE day ahead?
Of course, you’re not alone in this desire. We all love those weight loss hacks that take little to no effort and allow us to still eat all the foods we love without guilt. That’s exactly what you get when you start your day with this chocolate-peanut butter morning pudding for fat burning.
Say What! But, How Does This Pudding Make Me Lose Weight?
Let us explain just how this fat blasting breakfast really works, the science behind it so to speak.
This delicious and creamy chocolate pudding is very low in carbs, but high in fats and proteins. This means it doesn’t spike your blood sugar first thing in the morning like most sugary, carb laden breakfasts, rather it keeps it more stable and on an even keel for the whole day ahead.
And it’s stable blood sugar that plays a KEY role in weight loss and fat burning.
It works like this: you fast all night from sleeping, thus depriving your body of sugar and carbs for at least 10 hours since your last meal. You then eat this chocolate breakfast pudding that contains hardly any carbs on top of the 10 hour fast, making it up to 15+ hours before you next have a ‘carby’ meal.
Now, there’s NOTHING wrong with carbs at all. That’s not what we’re saying here! You are still encouraged to eat complex carbs galore with your other meals, just not breakfast, and there’s a reason for this as outlined below.
Will This Pudding Fill Me Up?
The pudding keeps you full for around 5 hours as it is so low on the GI scale. The fats and proteins will literally give you a slow burn of energy over this time, stopping you from wanting to snack on junk for the whole day ahead. Stabilising blood sugar first thing in the morning, and with your first meal, is setting you up for success for the whole day.
In essence, you will be eating a carb free diet for around 15 hours of your day, and this helps with weight loss, whilst still being very easy, healthy and sustainable.
Wait, Isn’t This The Keto Diet?
Nope and NO, this diet does not put your body into ketosis as the real keto diet does. Being as this website is all about the plant based diet, and the eating of abundance of fruits and vegetables WITHOUT any guilt whatsoever we do not agree with, or promote this way of eating, for health reasons.
The biggest concern of the keto diet isn’t about it putting strain on the organs through long-term ketosis (which can be a problem, especially if you don’t know what you’re doing). It’s the fact that it restricts many nutritious plant based foods also, and that’s no good for plant based eaters.
Our chocolate pudding diet is about having no carbs for around 15 hours, then eating a healthy, plant based lunch or dinner with whole foods, legumes, wholegrains, potatoes, fruits and vegetables. This way you do get the best of both worlds.
Reasons To Eat Chocolate Avocado Pudding
- LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX – This weight loss pudding is LOW GI and will keep your blood sugar stable for hours. This means less snacking and a slow burn of energy throughout your day.
- HIGH PROTEIN – Our chocolate-peanut butter pudding is high in protein from the soy milk and peanut butter, making it very filling.
- HEALTHY FATS – The pudding contains lots of healthy omega 3 fats from the peanut butter and avocado, making it heart and brain friendly.
- FILLING – This pudding is SO filling that you won’t want to eat for many hours afterwards. It’s high calorie, granted, but you will ultimately eat less calories throughout the day because you will be so full. You also won’t wish to snack on junk foods or sweet foods much as your blood sugar won’t be out of whack.
- NUTRIENTS – Chocolate and peanut butter is CHOC FULL of nutrition. Protein, healthy omega 3, heart friendly fats, vitamin E, l-arginine, fibre, niacin, folate, vitamin K, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, iron, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, B6, B1, Vitamin D, and a TON of antioxidants.
- IT’S DELICIOUS – Who doesn’t want to eat chocolate pudding for breakfast? We mean, seriously, this is the benefit of the amazing plant based diet. When you eat whole foods plant based, literally ANYTHING goes. You can eat vegetables for breakfast, or even ice-cream; or how about 2 minute ice-creams and scrumptious smoothie bowls as a quick and nutritious RAW dinner at night? It’s all good and it all tastes amazing.
Enhance Your Weight Loss With These Other Tips
Alongside eating your fat burning chocolate pudding for breakfast, you could help boost weight loss even further with the following tips, hacks, and tricks.
1. Eat MORE Plants!
Eating a 100% whole foods plant based diet is the best way to lose weight and keep it off for good going forward. ‘Whole’ foods such as these will help you stay in shape and keep you FULL:-
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Wholegrains
- Berries
- Greens
- Nuts and seeds in moderation
- Tofu
- Tempeh
- Quinoa
- Amaranth
- Green superfood powders
- Amaranth
- Olives
- Coconut (not oil)
- Avocadoes
- Potatoes with skins
- Yams
2. Omit ALL Oils
Oils are wasted calories and offer barely any nutrition once they have been extracted from their whole form. Eat the ‘whole’ olive as opposed to the oil. Same with nut and seed oils, go for the whole nut and seed as a snack to get your healthy fats.
It is very easy to cook without oil once you learn the art of oil-free sauteing. Use just hot water or broth to cook your food instead. Trust us, it works!
3. Add In Other Fat Burning Foods
Other fat burning foods to help boost your metabolism and keep the weight off long-term include:-
- Almonds
- Walnuts
- Cacao and cacao nibs
- Hemp seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Nutritional yeast
- Wholegrains
- Pulses
- Spirulina and chlorella
- Green tea
- Broccoli
- Berries
- Grapefruits
- Bananas
- Avocados

4. Get Moving
We don’t want to be preachy here, but you simply MUST exercise if you want that hot plant body. You can eat all the healthy foods in the world, but if you don’t exercise, all your efforts will leave you with is an untoned body and possibly a weaker heart.
You also WANT muscle mass on your body, as it keeps your metabolism stoked and calories burning faster. This helps prevent the food you do eat turning to fat.
A mix of weight bearing and cardio exercises are best. Mix them up too so that you don’t get bored. Swimming, power walking, weights, tennis, yoga, cycling, running, boxing, whatever you feal like will help you out in more respects that just aesthetics.
Regular exercise boosts metabolism, keeps muscle mass high which helps prevent muscle wastage, boosts immunity, boosts mood and cognitive function, and helps keep your heart healthy all at the same time.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Morning Pudding For Fat Burning!
Equipment
- High speed blender
Ingredients
- ½ COLD large avocado
- 1 heaped Tbsp COLD peanut butter (Can be subbed for a portion of chocolate vanilla or neutral protein powder for lower fat version)
- Roughly 100ml COLD unsweetened soy milk
- 1 Tbsp 100% cacao powder Not heaped
- Stevia drops or powder to taste Be sure to use 100% stevia
Instructions
- Add all your ingredients to your high speed blender (add the cacao powder last so that it doesn't stick to the bottom). It's important everything is a s cold as possible because your blender is going to produce a lot of heat. You will want a smaller blender than a Vitamix here, especially if you're only making one portion.
- Blend until super smooth and creamy. You may need to keep scraping down the side to make sure everything gets combined properly. Be patient and keep blending until you get your pudding as smooth as you can. If you need to add more milk, do it gradually. The purpose of this is to keep your pudding as thick as possible, and therefore as filling as possible.
- Once blended to your satisfaction, you may wish to refrigerate your pudding (or freeze it) for 30 minutes to chill it right down again. You may wish to eat it straight from the blender cup because it's quite difficult to extract. You can also take your time with a long spoon getting into all the nooks and crannies of the the blender cup. Joyous!
