Recipe: Warm Chocolate Pudding Jul 22 7:43am | By Abby McWaters, Registered Dietitian (@amcwaters)Comment receiving replies
Hi @kathleenashline1,
This recipe is meant to be a low calorie (under 200 calories per serving) dessert option. Yes, it does contain added sugar, and this isn't something I would recommend eating every day. However, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends less than 10% of total calories coming from added sugars per day. For example, if you are eating 1,200 calories a day this would equal 30 grams of added sugar or less per day and if you were eating 1,500 calories per day this would equal 37.5 grams added sugar per day. Yes, 22 grams is in the higher range of added sugar but still could be consumed as a part of a healthy diet if you desired a sweet treat.

Would this recipe work with Truvia or another type of stevia sugar substitute?

It’s just wrong….no one should consume that much sugar in one simple dessert. They are so many other healthier options and you must know what they are. There is absolutely no excuse for the famous Mayo Clinic to publish this recipe and suggest it as part of anyone’s diet. People generally respect your organization and look to you to guide them in a helpful manner. If you think this recipe should be part of anyone’s diet, you need to update your information.
