JellO Sugar Free Chocolate Mint Fudge Pudding Snack
By: | May 15, 2007
After having reviewed the JellO Fat Free Pudding Snack I still wasn't a big fan of pudding because the texture weirds me out. Nevertheless, a few comments recommended I try the Sugar Free Jell-O pudding cups, so I grabbed a hold of the Chocolate Mint Fudge Sundae variety.
First of all, if you are not a fan of 'artificial sweeteners', then this might not be the product for you, because they use a little bit of almost everything - xylitol (sugar alcohol), sucralose (Splenda) and acesulfame K - no aspartame. All those sweeteners contribute to a very sweet taste but surprisingly, I didn't detect any off flavors or 'chemical' taste. The 'mint' flavor was very light and honestly, I didn't even detect it until I re-read the box and realized that it was supposed to be there. I am not even going to spend too much time commenting on Jell-O's use of the word 'fudge' and 'sundae.' I will simply say that those two words do NOT belong on the product description. I am not even sure which of the two layers is supposed to be the fudge and which the sundae.
One thing pudding is good for, it's to thicken protein shakes - some people don't like using bananas, and so I made a Double Chocolate Shake with GNC Pro Performance Chocolate and Caramel Whey Protein - so head over to IntheGym.net and get the recipe [link].
One Sugar Free Chocolate Mint Fudge Pudding Snack has only 60 calories, 1 gram of fat, which is saturated (5% of the daily requirement), 2 grams of protein and 13 grams of total carbohydrates which includes less than 1 gram of fiber, no sugar but 7 grams of sugar alcohols.
One 6 pack cos $2.69 at the time of purchase. If you have chocolate cravings but don't want to load up on calories, then try this instead. Had to remove half a star for the "questionable" fudge sundae product description.

I haven't tried this flavor, but the mochachino is out of this world. I'm insulin intolerant and I can hardly tell the difference between the sugar free and non-sugar free puddings or jellos. It's such a great dessert at the end of a meal. They were on sale for only $2 out by me and I wish I had bought more. For only 60 calories and such a chocolatey taste, I have added them to my three times a week dessert rotation. That and sugar free fudgsicles will take care of any chocolate craving.
I love reading your blog! I do love these though, they are really great to kill chocolate cravings. I love them instead of eating a bowl of chocolate chip mint ice cream!
Some of Your packaging has a "K" or a "KD" please explain their meaning?
thank You Jack Fry
The K means Kosher and the D stands for dairy so KD would be Kosher Dairy, hope this helps.
I love the chocolate mint. Its a perfect dessert for me.
