A discovery of a great snack!

How about this:
Jell-O has a brand new line of pudding out now called Calci-YUM! the beauty of this pudding is that it is only 100 calories, you can get it in fat free or sugar free AND it now has 10% of the required calcium for the day.

I think this is a great way to have a tastey snack and get a boost to your daily calcium intake. They have both of my favorite flavors: vanilla and butterscotch. What is your fav. flav. of pudding?

I know that my grandmother used to make a cretain cake that included pudding in it to make the cake more moist. Anyone know what type of cake this may be?

You are welcome to all of mine.

I'll bet if you google on "pudding cake" you'll find recipes for the thing you want.

Man reminds me. One of these days I'm gonna make a Jello Poke Cake and eat the whole thing.

What exactly is a Jell-O poke cake?
Is that made with pudding?

This new Calsi-YUM pudding really intrigued me and i did some research. i found out that 2 out of 3 kids do not get enough calcium in their diets. Thats is over 50% of the kids in the USA. i drank a lot of milk as a kid and I still broke bones! I was thinking that a cup of Calci-YUM pudding and a glass of milk is an easy way to boost your child's calcium intake.

Anyone out there that has kids and thinks they might get them some of Jell-O's new pudding?
Also, no one told me what their favorite flavor was.

I like chocolate, but I'm not much for the little plastic cups of pudding. I recently bought the sugar-free Jello pudding and found it so artificial-tasting that I threw it out. With excellent new artificial sweeteners (Splenda, etc.) there's no excuse for that. It must have been all the other stuff they use to make it stable. A real pity because I'm always looking for SF snacks.

It's been a while since I've seen someone so excited about such a product, sure you don't work for the company? I too tend to dislike the flavor of pre-packaged products. I think that if you eat vegetables you grow and meat (organic if possible) that you cook, and goods that you make yourself (homemade pudding from scratch) - you develop a taste for the ingredients themselves, the textures they produce, the depth of flavors they develop, etc. All of which make your taste buds more sensitive to foods that contain preservatives or substitutions for ingredients which increase the shelf life of the product, but decrease your shelf life. Along with moderation, a balance in a variety of foods and regular exercise, a body should be physically healthy barring extreme diseases, etc.

I find it sad that "2 out of 3 kids do not get enough calcium in their diets" and 1 out of 5 Americans don't consume adequate amounts of calcium daily. And that it takes things like pudding to get it into their system. The entire line of JELL-O® Pudding Snack products only provide 10% of the daily recommended value of calcium. Granted it may be the only percentage some bodies get a day.

It's not just its calcium that is a bone-friendly food, cow's milk and fermented milk products such as yogurt also contain lactoferrin, an iron-binding protein that boosts the growth and activity of osteoblasts (the cells that build bone). Yogurt is by far one of the best sources for calcium. Vitamin D is critical to the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and in bone formation. The body is complex and requires a system of many nutrients working together for optimum health.

Jeez...

Talk about factory food!

The only local ingredient you supply yourself is... water.

Whom needs it?
