Wow this sounds great! I wonder how it would taste adding the cheesecake pudding mix from Dr Boyce's office into it thus bumping up the protein. I think I'm going to make this for Thanksgiving cause I'm doing the cooking and something I can enjoy later sounds good to me!! Thanks, Dani

Protein One of the three nutrients that provides calories to the body. Protein is an essential nutrient that helps build many parts of the body, including muscle, bone, skin, and blood. Protein provides 4 calories per gram and is found in foods like meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, beans, nuts, and tofu. Proteins are an essential human nutrient, obtained from both plant and animal foods. Though their greatest commercial use is in food products, they are also employed in adhesives, plastics, and fibres.

Dani - that's actually a good idea - in some of the recipes I do sometimes add a scoop of unflavored protein powder to help get my protein in for the day. I haven't tried the offices pudding though - so I'm not sure - but you can be inventive with the recipes LOL - If you try - let us know how it turns out!
