Jello & Pudding

[Fil]

Jello Gelatine and Jello Chocolate Pudding are fat and sugar free. They do contain the possible carcinogen aspartame - but other than this potential health risk, any reason I would want to avoid these for a healthy dessert?

 

[Fil]

I guess that means no one has anything bad to say about them. HOORAY!

 

[Hoss]

well just look @ the sodium, if low, EAT UP!! i love pudding mmmm...

I've heard that mixing the powder with cottage cheese tastes just super

 

[Fil]

Oooo, I'll have to try that.

While looking it up I found a very basic recipe that looks pretty good:
1. Make cubes of your favorite gelatine, put it in a cup/serving-bowl
2. Cover with a layer of vanilla pudding

Why didn't I think of that?

i don't eat that fake stuff anymore. i did to drop the 25 lbs, but i was always afraid of the health risks.

i treat myself to the good stuff once in a great while!

 

[corple]

mmmm that recipe sounds pretty good Fil. i might have to *try* it..

 

[shimmering]

my only reason for not eating jello is knowing what it's made out of.

 

[Fil]

I've seen a live pig slaughtered, it's body chopped up, and then it's meats stuffed into its own intestines, cooked it, and eaten it.

I'm not phased by Jello

 

[shimmering]

well i figured you knew what is made from, fil. i bet a lot of people dont though.

 

[Catch169]

lol Fil thats pretty downright....well interesting. The closest ive come to that is shooting my own deer or dove, cleaning it and then eating it lol

 

[LiveFromNY]

why not make yourself some fruit salad or some homemade applesauce?

 

[Smithy]

come on shimmering....for those of us who dont know (such as myself) please tell....what the hell is gelatine made out of?????.....

 

[shimmering]

do a google search but basically gelatine is made from melted down left over parts of the cow - the hoofs primarily, if i'm not mistaken. being a vegetarian i dont eat the stuff, but i dont think i would even if i wasnt one, LOL!

 

[Catch169]

lol shimmering there are vegan gelotins.......

 

[shimmering]

what are they made from?

 

[Fil]

Ingredients: Carrageenan, locust bean gum and malto-dextrin.

 

[shimmering]

interesting.. have any of you actually tried these the flavored ones for instance? if they really do taste like jello i might have to give 'em a try.

i understand how you feel, the jello company goes to great lengths to not be open about what they make their product from. a lot of people grow up with it and have no idea what they're really eating.
