The beginning of food allergy week
This is the start of food allergy awareness week and we'll be starting with a product review here at Our Story.
The nice people at ZenSoy sent us some of their soy pudding to sample. They sent us packs of chocolate, banana, chocolate /vanilla swirl, and vanilla.
I've tried to make safe pudding for my son in the past and it just never turned out quite right. Most of the time it ended up being pudding "soup". So needless to say, my son has never had pudding.
The Little Man was SO excited when the package came and he couldn't wait to try the pudding.
The first flavor he tried was banana:
He loved it and was so happy to have his own, safe pudding.
We've tried all the flavors so far and his favorite is Vanilla (mine too!)
ZenSoy - is the first refrigerated organic soy pudding in the
country
* Packaged in single-serve snack cups
* Chocolate, Chocolate/Vanilla Swirl, Banana and Vanilla flavors
According to ZenSoy, they are a family-owned company that makes a wide assortment of
nationally-available, certified organic soy milks and soy puddings. Made
from whole organic soybeans, all ZenSoy foods are 100 percent vegan and
certified kosher. In addition, all ZenSoy foods are gluten-free, dairy-free
(no eggs, milk or casein), and nut-free.
So after taste-testing the pudding (and loving it) I started to think of some other uses for it.
How about some "Worms in dirt"?
1 cup of chocolate ZenSoy pudding
3 Tbs. of soy whipped topping
3-4 crushed frozen KinniToos chocolate sandwich cookies
Safe gummy worms
Mix the pudding, soy whipped topping, and 1/2 the crushed cookies together and place in a cup. Add the remaining crushed cookies on top and finish with gummy worms.
The Little Man has never had anything like this before so he was a little hesitant to try it, but I can tell you from experience that it was totally yummy!
And we also made frozen ZenSoy pudding pops:
These were awesome!!!
He's already requested more! I think this will be a wonderful summer treat for us. It's totally delicious and safe for everyone.
I can't wait to see what other fun things I can come up with for the pudding.
So we are giving ZenSoy pudding 2 BIG thumbs up!! It's delicious, safe, and a wonderful addition to our allergy friendly foods list. We also give 2 thumbs up to their soy milk. We love that they have the "Soy on the go" size of soy milk. It makes it so much easier for us to take it on road trips.
Thank you so much ZenSoy for sending us the pudding and for making my little guy smile.

Too cool! I'm so glad you found a safe pudding for little man!!
We really like ZenSoy pudding too. Although I never thought of the pudding pops... I will definitely do that when the weather warms up. Where do you find your soy whipped topping? I just found out this week that the 2 stores in town that used to carry it have discontinued it. Ugh!
I haven't seen this yet. Will defintely have to look for it. We have a son with multiple food allergies too. Since dairy is one of them this would be awesome to try.
Check out my new blog:

I get my soy topping at either Wild Oat or at our local natural foods store. I can't always find it though. At the local store, it was off the shelves for almost a year and no one there could tell me why they couldn't stock it. So I had to drive to Wild Oat which isn't very close.
What a great product! If only Alysa could have it. :) There is one lemon pudding that is safe for Kayla and she likes it actually. It's very strong on the lemon flavor.
Sounds like you'll have a great summer treat for the boys! He looks so excited!
he's so adorable! he looks like he's totally enjoying himself!
What a blessing that they sent you some, the poor boy doesn't have to have pudding soup anymore ;)!!!
I will have to be on the lookout for Zen Soy now.
Thanks for posting about the worms in dirt, I had forgotten all about that yummy treat but now I am going to do that for babies first birthday shin-dig.
that sounds like a wonderful company! How awsome that he now has pudding that he likes and can eat! - Frozen pudding pops - yum!
This is great to know! I have not heard of these before but will have to check them out. Thanks!
