Hunt's Tapioca Snack Pack Pudding

To save money, and because she doesn't always like what the school serves for lunch, my daughter takes a packed lunch to school. So it's great to find a product that combines a good price, convenience and great taste. Hunt's makes a line of "Snack Pack" puddings that fill the bill on all counts. At Wal-Mart, they cost around one dollar for four servings, and they come in a large variety. "Hunt's Tapioca Snack Pack Pudding" is one of my daughter's favorites, and for good reason. It tastes really good!

"Hunt's Tapioca Snack Pack Pudding" comes in a swirling red package with pictures of pouring, splashing milk, and a spoonful of creamy colored pudding. The package also tells me that "Hunt's Tapioca Snack Pack Pudding" has no preservatives and is made with real nonfat milk which is enriched with calcium, so it sounds like it's pretty good and good for me.

"Hunt's Tapioca Snack Pack Pudding" is a creamy white color. You can see the tapioca beads peeking out through the package. The pudding has a smooth, velvety texture, with that vanilla flavor and those chewy little tapioca lumps that make it taste so good. (Though my husband doesn't like them.) Tapioca is one of my favorite kinds of pudding and, though nothing beats homemade, "Hunt's Tapioca Snack Pack Pudding" tastes great!

The only drawback to "Hunt's Tapioca Snack Pack Pudding" is that it has little nutritional value. But, unlike some of the other varieties, a 99 gram cup of "Hunt's Tapioca Snack Pack Pudding" does have ten percent of your daily recommended amount of calcium. Each cup also has nine percent of your daily recommended value of saturated fat, 120 calories, and fifteen grams of sugar. This is quite a bit, though for a desert type food, I don't think this is terrible.

All in all, I would recommend "Hunt's Tapioca Snack Pack Puddings" as long as you eat them in moderation. They are not great, nutritionally speaking, but they are a nice little pick me up that are far better for you than a bag of chips or a candy bar. I greatly enjoyed the Tapioca flavor, and though I'm not sure how a product with milk in it can be stored in the cupboard without any preservatives, I'm glad Hunt's found a way to do so. (Many other puddings are full of those polysyllabic chemical wonders.)

So if you want a sweet treat, and enjoy tapioca pudding, I recommend "Hunt's Tapioca Snack Pack Pudding".

Enjoy!
