This is my first time ever participating in Virtual Vegan Potluck. Everyone brings a virtual dish to the potluck ranging from entrees to desserts and you can use the buttons at the bottom of this post to navigate your way through the whole potluck.
Sounds like fun?
Before we start – let me introduce myself. My name is Katherine and I blog at Green Thickies. A Green Thickie is a meal replacement green smoothie. If you’re interested in learning more about Green Thickies – click here to learn more.
The dish I have chosen to bring to the potluck is Homemade Chocolate Pudding with orange and topped with whipped coconut cream. Yum!

The best thing about this homemade chocolate pudding is that it’s healthy – so you don’t have to worry about overindulging. It is free from refined sugar, dairy and made with whole natural ingredients.
Another bonus about this chocolate orange pudding is that it only takes 5 minutes! What more could you want when the chocolate cravings strike?
This gorgeous dessert can easily be made with store cupboard ingredients and an orange – so you can whip it up without any extra trips to the store or trying to find special ingredients.
I have recently got myself a magic bullet – which is just perfect for making this chocolate pudding. It comes with so many attachments that you don’t even have to wash out your containers – just use one container and blade to make the chocolate pudding and another container and blade to make the whipped coconut cream.
If you don’t have a magic bullet you can use either a normal blender, food processor, mixer or electric whisk. (affiliate links) At a push you could even use a hand whisk or a fork – but it might not be quite as smooth.

Hi Katherine,I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.
I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!
I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!
I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.
I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.
I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.
I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!
What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.
I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie

Allison (Spontaneous Tomato) says
Oh my goodness. This looks so good! Especially with that coconut cream on top. I love that this pudding is made with bananas as the base, too—and I bet the orange and chocolate together keep it from tasting too overwhelmingly banana-y. Great recipe!
Katherine Natalia @ Green Thickies says
Thanks Allison – yes I couldn’t taste the banana at all. It makes a really healthy base.
Annie says
I especially love the preponderance of cream on top! So beautiful. Glad to have you along for this Potluck, Katherine!
