Puddings enrich the diversity of textures and flavors you can enjoy in green smoothies. Puddings are thicker smoothie that you can eat with a spoon. Green puddings generally don’t contain any water and are often thickened with mangoes, blueberries, persimmons, chia seeds, dates, coconut, etc.. We recommend using a tamper, which often comes packaged with blender, to help mix these thicker smoothies as you blend. The following recipes have been prepared with a  Vitamix but I assume it could be made in other blenders.
