Weight Watchers Chocolate Pudding Recipe with Banana

If you do not have agave nectar on hand, it might be possible to substitute honey or maple syrup. I have not tried the recipe with these substitutions, so I do not know how it would turn out. But these things would still keep the recipe at 1 point per cup.

You can freeze this Weight Watchers chocolate pudding recipe and make it an “ice cream.” Do not thaw after freezing, as it will not have the same consistency. But this chocolate pudding recipe is definitely a great substitute for ice cream!

While this recipe used fruit which is a zero point food, you are blending the fruit so it may be possible that the fruit counts as points. I reached out to Weight Watchers for an answer. Weight Watchers says that blended fruit, like in a smoothie, counts as points because you drink it. Drinking liquids has a different digestive process than eating solid foods. Drinking also makes you feel less full then when eating solids.

Is pudding more like a smoothie or more like solid food? I asked Weight Watchers on my app this question and they said “Unless you are drinking it, it would remain zero.” This means that since you eat pudding, the fruit does not count as points. This make me very happy, as fruit is actually a lot of points when you drink them in a smoothie. The key is everything in moderation. Don’t eat a ton of pudding just because it is low in points.
