Product Recommendation!

I just tried this... and its great! Vitamin Shoppe Pro-Pudding Vanilla Flavor- it is a powder you mix with water. Then chill... just like regular pudding. It has 135 cals, 4 carb, 25g protein per package (I can't eat the whole thing at once... but its soft, so easy to eat!) Tastes so much better then the premade Stallones Pudding. At least in my opinion! Also, in my local store, I could buy them one packet at a time... great way to sample. http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=VS-2297 Enjoy! P.S. I plan to buy some more, and make frozen pudding pops for a cool protein treat!

have you tried the chocolate? if yes, any good? Cathy

I haven't... only the vanilla. I like vanilla because I can add fruit (usually blueberries) to it. Also, they did not sell the chocolate at my store in the single packets. But if anyone out there has tried chocolate, I'd love to know how it is

Yeah, me too, I saw them on the VS website--but they're a little too expensive to buy to try..so I'd be interested in an opinion, also, if anyone else has tried them---- Cathy

I have tried the chocolate. It is ve-r-r-r-ry good!!!!!!!!! Taste and texture is just like Jello instant pudding. Much better taste and texture than Stallone's. I've done the comparison between SF instant pudding mix, skim milk & protein powder and the Vitamin Shoppe pudding mix. Here's how they stack up. Kroger brand SF choc pudding mix, 2 c skim milk, 2 scoops Chocolate Designer Whey protein powder - 1/4 recipe, approx. 6 oz serving = 120 calories, 14 grams carb, 14 grams protein (I chose the chocolate protein powder to make this as chocolatey as the VS brand) Vitamin Shoppe Dutch Chocolate pudding mix - 6 oz serving = 145 calories, 4 grams carb, 25 grams protein I'll keep using the Vitamin Shoppe pudding unless I get a craving for something other than chocolate or vanilla. Also, the VS brand is sweetened with Sucralose (Splenda) not aspartame. Since I am extremely sensitive to aspartame this is another plus in my book.

Thanks Mary, I love that they do not have soy. Stallone is packed with soy. Since I do not do soy, this is a great alternative. I am going to go check it out this weekend! God Bless, Jen

Thanks for sharing! I didn't like Stallone pudding at all. It had a horrible taste! I buy power crunch bars and B-12's from vitamin shoppe so next time I go, I will look for this pudding. Kay

There's also a brand of SF pudding mix called JELL-O you can buy at an exclusive food store called WAL-MART and use skim milk and add 2 scoops of protein powder and 1/2 c SF cool whip. It comes in Vanilla, chocolate, lemon, cheesecake, pistachio, butterscotch, to name some. Doesn't take but a few minutes to make. Karla
