Helpful hints
- Ready-to-eat pudding is lower in phosphorus and sodium compared to the cook and serve or instant pudding mix. Snack Pack Pudding® brand ready-to-eat vanilla pudding does not contain phosphate additives, however it is high in calcium, so avoid if you are on a low calcium diet.
- Use four 3.25 ounce containers, (1 package) of ready-made pudding.
- Try different flavors of pudding for a variety of tastes.
- Substitute Splenda® or other low calorie sweetener for sugar to reduce carbohydrate to 19 grams per serving (one carbohydrate choice).
