Remember those elementary school lunches? Everyone had their favorite days – and not so favorite days. When the menu went south there was always the hope that the dessert would come to the rescue. A lunchroom special was always the lunch tray square of pudding. If all else failed there might be a delicious dollop of chocolate or vanilla heaven to save the day.
Fast forward to 2007. You’re hard at work in your cube, or up to your elbows in the kids’ dirty laundry, or studying for an exam. You really need a tasty treat to save the day again, but you’re trying to be healthy. What can you do? Well head to the ‘fridge and grab a Jell-O Sugar Free Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Pudding! You put that rich, creamy mixture of chocolate and vanilla pudding in your mouth and you feel like a kid again. It’s a marriage of flavors made in heaven, with a fullness and thickness that really leaves you satisfied, energized, and feeling like you can make it until chow time.
Serving size is one 106 gram cup, and that will supply you with 60 calories. You’ll also get 1.5 grams of fat, no cholesterol, 180mg of sodium, 2 grams of protein, and 13 grams of carbohydrate. 7 grams of sugar alcohol are included in that carbohydrate count, so the net impact carbs should be somewhere around 9 grams. This also means that you should definitely stick to one and only one cup at a time. This pudding also contains 10 percent of the recommended daily intake of calcium.
Why can’t I buy Jello sugarfree chocolate raspberry pudding. I haven’t seen it for months. It doesn’t matter what store I am in. I just can’t buy it. It was our favorite. Now we have to settle for other flavors that are not as good. Thank You.

I have not been able to find any fat-free, sugar-free banana cream pudding. Being a diabetic and finding a number of recipes that call for this pudding, I am not able to enjoy some of my old favorites. We used to find the item in our local Stop & Shop supermakets but it has “disappeared” off the shelf. Can you help me locate a source here in Massachusetts or in Rhode Island? P.S. My husband, a non-diabetic, also really enjoys the desserts.
Please let me know when you are going to make the coupons available again. They are no longer being offered on any web site. Thank You in advance.
