Helpful hints

• Change flavor of pudding mix for variety.
• The addition of whey protein powder makes the protein content similar to pudding made with milk.
• Protein powders vary in scoop size and amount of protein. Analysis uses EAS whey protein powder.
• Do not substitute instant pudding mix. It is very high in sodium.
