JellO Fat Free Pudding Snack
By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Aug 11, 2006
Each pudding cup has 100 calories, no fat and 16 grams of sugars (22 grams total carbohydrates). The amount of sugar is less than in your average 12 ounce can of soda, but this pudding snack still tastes sweet. This snack is good if you have a craving for something sweet, but don't want too much sugar, and the portion size is just right so that one cup should be enough to satisfy you. I think I preferred this JellO Fat Free Pudding Snack to the Jello Smoothie Snacks [read thre review] and both have the same amount of calories and sugars. But since I don't really have a sweet tooth, I still prefer Motts Unsweetened Apple Sauce and Dole Fruit Parfait. One pack of 6 pudding cups (4 ounces each) was $2.50 when bought at Stop and Shop, and if you are lactose intolerant, be aware that Jello Pudding Snack is made from (skim) milk - it's the first ingredient.

Going for the "diet" versions of things isn't always the best route - when it tastes better, it is much more satisfying and helps you stay on track. If are dieting, it can also help your "diet" more closely mimic the "diet" that you will use to maintain your weight. I ALWAYS compare diet and non-diet versions of all products to see what is worth it and what is not, based on taste and nutritional information. In all fairness, the 1.5 grams of fat is saturated, but it's a small percentage of your total fat for the day, which is okay if you are mindful of what you are eating. In my experience, diets partly fail because people try to be too healthy.

I of course have a sweet tooth so I was very excited hehehe. I am always trying to find a healthy alternative to satisfy my cravings.

I must preface this review by stating that I am not a big fan of "pudding snacks." After trying Jello's Fat Free Pudding Snack ... I'm still not a big fan, but I can see why people like them. The texture is like a thick gel, soft and just dissolves in your mouth. I trid the Devil's Food flavor, which means chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate - i.e. it has a very strong chocolate taste (really more of a strong cocoa).

I like these pudding cups alright, but I think that the sugar free version is better. They have a little fat (1-2g per serving), so they taste creamier. However, if you're not a fan of Splenda/artificial sweeteners, I would stick with the Fat Free.
