Spa Index Kitchen Notes
The nutritional stats are for the pudding, only. Pritikin serves a Maple Cream topping as an option. Allow a tablespoon or so per serving, or use it to top toast, hot or cold cereals, or your favorite desserts or fruit snacks.We divided the Maple Cream Topping into 10 servings (which is more than a tablespoon, actually) and the result is approximately 125-135 calories per serving, so use just a bit or a lot, as you prefer.
