Review of Coconut Chocolate Pudding - Zen by glutenfreevee

Shopping at Whole Foods, I noticed that this Zen pudding was on sale and decided to purchase it to see if it was any good. It was okay. Not exactly a dairy-comparable pudding, but also not too far off. It just tasted like it was missing something. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I could tell the difference.

The texture, however, was right on the money. Thick and pudding-like, with a little jiggle. I was amazed that they were able to do this with just 7 ingredients, the first being water, so really 6.

As it is a coconut product there is more saturated fats (8g, with a total of 9g of fat), but I think there is good debate on whether this type needs to be avoided or not - see, for example: https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-27318/a-doctor-explains-why-saturated-fat-in-coconut-oil-isnt-a-problem.html.

There are also 21g of carbs and 1g of protein, totaling up to 170 calories. This is just for a 4.5 oz, or 128g, half-cup of pudding.

I found the product to be a bit on the expensive side. Normally around $2.99, it was on sale for 2/$5.

It does come in a glass jar, which is nice. However, I don’t think I’ll buy this anytime soon again.
