Bryan Johnson, the biohacker and tech entrepreneur known for his obsessive pursuit of longevity, doesn’t leave a single ingredient to chance. Every meal, supplement, and micronutrient is meticulously calculated to support his goal of reversing aging and optimising cognitive and physical performance. One of the cornerstones of his daily diet? A nutrient-dense, precisely formulated pudding designed to fuel the body and mind.
This Nutty Pudding is inspired by Johnson’s approach — packed with healthy fats, polyphenols, protein, and fibre to stabilise blood sugar, enhance brain function, and support cellular health. We've added some additional gut supporting ingredients to optimise and Healf hack this variation. Whether you’re following a longevity-focused lifestyle or simply want a delicious, functional meal, this pudding is an easy way to boost your nutritional intake.
The science behind the ingredients
Every ingredient in this pudding serves a purpose beyond taste. Here’s why it fits into a longevity-focused diet:
- Macadamia & Walnuts: rich in monounsaturated fats and polyphenols, they support brain health and reduce inflammation.
- Chia & Flaxseeds: excellent sources of omega-3s, fibre, and lignans, which support gut health and hormone balance.
- Brazil Nut: a single nut provides your daily dose of selenium, a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress.
- Cacao: high in flavonoids, cacao has been linked to improved circulation, cognitive function, and even longevity.
- Ceylon Cinnamon: helps regulate blood sugar and provides powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
- Berries: packed with antioxidants and anthocyanins that combat oxidative stress and support brain function.
- Sunflower Lecithin: a rich source of phosphatidylcholine, crucial for cell membrane integrity and cognitive health.
The recipe
- 50-100ml macadamia or almond nut milk (50ml for a thicker consistency)
- 3 tbsp ground macadamia nuts
- 2 tsp ground walnuts
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp ground flaxseed (linseeds)
- ¼ brazil nut
- 1 tbsp cacao powder (6g)
- 1 tsp sunflower lecithin
- ½ tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- 100g mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries – about ¾ cup)
- 1 tbsp manuka honey or trehalose sweetener (Johnson himself may skip this)
- 30-60g longevity protein for added amino acids
- Blend the Base – Add 50-100ml of nut milk to a blender.
- Supercharge with Nutrients – Add macadamia nuts, walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseed, brazil nut, cacao powder, sunflower lecithin, and cinnamon.
- Boost with Berries – Set half of the berries aside for topping. Add the remaining berries to the blender and blend until smooth.
- Final Touches – Pour into a bowl, top with the remaining berries, and mix in pea protein if using.
