Making pudding question
 

When I try making it in the shaker it makes a mess and gets stuck all over the shaker and silver ball thing. I tried mixing in a bowl but is was still lumpy. What is the best way to mix it ?

Thank you for asking mine was a huge shaker mess too.

Have you tried making a paste out of it with a little warm water? Use a fork to get all the lumps out, then slowly add more water.

I like making my puddings into shakes with a little coffee.... so good.

I make mine in a 2-cup tupperware with a lid. I put in the water and flavorings (I usually use extra water and add vanilla extract or stevia or peppermint, you get the idea). Add powder, put on lid, and shake. Refrigerate until I want to eat.

I only did it in the shaker once--I lost so much to the shaker ball that I never did it again.

I thought I was the only one!

I use the shaker, but I don't let anyone watch me because it isn't pretty.

Think licking the mixing bowl/mixer on the kitchen floor as a four year old in mom's kitchen after she makes brownies.

what I have done is used a disposable 8 oz cup,
I add the pudding, and slowly add the water, then I also use fork and mix it well

I had the same issue. I basically gave up on puddings and made them into thick shakes. My faves were vanilla pudding with instant coffee and lots of ice, and banana pudding with WF chocolate syrup, lots of ice.

All my pudding shakes come out lumpy. I just deal, cause I'm lazy. :P

I mix it in the shaker WITHOUT the ball. My coach suggested this.

I mixed them in the shaker with the ball but right after mixing it up I poured it into a bowl and then put it in the fridge to sit. I miss the butterscotch pudding .... loved it with a little WF marshmallow mixed in.

I have been successful adding water in small amounts and mixing slowly in a shallow soup bowl with a fork...it comes out pretty smooth...then I freeze it for 30-40 minutes.

I too, use the shaker, no ball for ALL of my products. NO lumps.

When I was on this program, I used to use my Magic Bullet to mix my puddings, shakes, soups, etc. MUCH better than the shaker.

Glad I am not the only one with pudding "issues"!!! I will try the suggestions :)

I never use the ball. It just 'eats' product.

At some point I decided the pudding wasn't worth it. I started adding 9-10 oz of water to the pudding and converted it to a shake.

For easy cleanup, pour hot coffee into the shaker to easily clean out the sides. Free mocha.
