Perks of High Calorie Pudding

Banana Delight Pudding is easy to chew for those that have problems with their teeth or mouths. For more information on foods that don’t need a lot of chewing, check out this article at The Geriatric Dietitian.

This pudding is a good source of essential fatty acids that help with absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. It does have some protein from the milk in the recipe, but more can be added by adding powdered milk to the pudding mix during the mixing step.

Protein helps with metabolism and digestion. Additionally, protein also functions in muscle contraction and the reproduction of red blood cells. Likewise, other parts of the body that protein helps are your hair, nails, and skin. 

Milk also supplies the pudding with a source of calcium. The calcium inside of this high calorie pudding is an essential nutrient that supports strong teeth and bones as well as keeping your muscles functioning correctly. High calorie pudding is a delicious way to get calcium!

This high calorie pudding modification could also contain nuts such as walnuts, pecans, almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts. Nuts can provide a good source of protein, vitamin E, and fiber. We cannot produce monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats on our own, so nuts can provide this for us.

How to Make Pudding

First, pour the pudding mix and the milk into a large bowl and beat for 2 minutes with a mixer. Then throw in the sweetened condensed milk into the pudding mixture, and let the mixture sit for 2 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract with the pudding mixture.

Next, fold the whipped topping gently into the pudding mixture. Spread out vanilla wafers evenly on the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan. Pour half of the pudding mixture onto the wafers on the pan. Put banana slices evenly over the pudding mixture layer.

Finally, repeat vanilla wafer layer and pudding mixture layer. Cover the pan and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before serving. Now enjoy your high calorie pudding!
