Hey girls! I finally got around to whipping up a batch of No Pudge, and they're in the oven now! I can't wait to try them, the batter tasted sooo fudgy. I have a question, though. It says to "pour" the batter into the pan... but mine was way too thick to pour! I had trouble even spreading it in the pan. For those of you who have made them, is that normal?? I guess I'll find out in about half an hour if not! Lol.

Are you talking about the No Pudge brownies? I heart them , so, so much. I substitute almond flavoring for the vanilla.

Thanks a bunch! Yep, I'm talking about the brownies. They're out of the oven now and they look and smell fantastic. I can't wait until they cool down so I can try them! I actually thought about using almond extract, because I love that flavor, but decided against it for my first try. Next time!

Okay, what flavor did you buy? The only kind I could get a few months ago was capuccino, and back then I had just given up coffee, and was so starving for the stuff that the brownies were like pure gold to me.
Now be honest -- are they as good as our ADBs? Oh, wait! There's no fat in them, right? ZERO FAT? Oh yeah, I'm gonna make them again, you BET.

Oh Kristen, I have a favor to ask...now if you would, would you go to the trash and drag out the empty box and come list the ingredients?
Inquiring minds want to know....
Wish you could send those yummy smells to us over the net..

I like the plain and the cappucino. I didn't like the raspberry very much... the raspberry tasted too artifical to me.

Kandee,
This is from the website:
"Our brownies contain: pure cane sugar, unbleached wheat flour, Dutch cocoas, egg whites, cornstarch, wheat gluten, natural flavors, baking soda and salt."
That's for plain. Check here for all the other nutrition info for all of them.
Kree - how'd you like them?

I love them! I can't believe anything that safe can taste so amazing and fudgy. I'd better go out and buy a few more boxes, I'm going to be making these frequently!

you can use applesauce instead of yogurt right Bev? I thought I remembered Heather making that suggestion to Bev.

It says on the website you can order them online and have them shipped! I don't know what the shipping would be like to AUS though.

I looked at the healthfood store and it didn't state it there -- maybe it was just the varierty I had.... or maybe I just missed it. I looked all over that box to see if you could sub something for that yogurt. Thanks for letting me know -- maybe next time. They only carry the coffee flavor -- and I'm not too sure about that --- never having been a coffee lover myself.

Okay, I got my No Pudge box in front of me. On the side -- now you're looking at the front of the box, okay? Turn it counter-clockwise. Now you're looking at the side panel. It says: "No Pudge! Notes." You with me? There are 5 tips. Drop down to number 4. Okay? It says:
"Lactose intolerant? Or simply out of yogurt?? Try substituting 2/3 cup of one of the following for the 2/3 cup of vanilla yogurt: applesauce, fat-free sour cream, silken tofu or soy yogurt. Add . . . " blah blah blah.
Did I lose you?
I have a feeling you've bought a different kind. Go to web page and check 'em out. Is that what you bought? (I'm surprised you found it at your health food store; mine didn't have it -- I had to get it at Albertson's.) That web site, by the way, has a locator, so you can find where to buy them in your area.
Oh, and about the coffee flavor. I bought all the store had -- cappuccino flavor -- they didn't have "plain." And, as much as I LOVE coffee, I was disappointed -- not in the coffee flavor, but in the chocolate. I'm a REAL chocoholic -- not like the wuuses in here, who shall remain nameless, but they know who they are! -- and I don't want nothin' in my chocolate trying to distract me from my addiction. Know what I mean?

then you really need to get the plain chocolate. The mint is too minty, and I didn't really like the raspberry either, but the chocolate is really chocolaty-put a few vegan choc chips in to really bump up the chocolate!

lol -- you guys are so funny! Thanks -- I may try it. They only sell the cappucino kind - so I may add chocolate chips -- or I may request the plain chocolate kind - or I may go back and they may have it... you never know. lol I didn't buy the box -- so I can't check and see if I missed it or not. I just looked all over the box while I was in the store -- and couldn't find any alternate directions. I saw where they suggested certain varieties of yogurt and all that -- but no alternatives to yogurt.
I must have taken my dumb pill.

So does cocoa powder bother anybody? Some of the non dairy desserts I eat irritate me a little because of the chocolate. I still can't stay away though.

Cocoa bothers me. I use carob powder instead.

Do the non-dairy desserts you're speaking of contain cocoa powder or SOLID chocolate? Solid chocolate can be a trigger because of its high fat content. Cocoa powder doesn't bother me, but I wouldn't go near solid chocolate (and I'm a choco-holic)!

Most IBS folks are just dandy with cocoa powder. But, cocoa can trigger heartburn or GERD, so that's something to watch for.

Bev, it's cocoa proessed with alkali...what does that mean? Oh, I bought that Soy Dream mocha fudge...is that artificial coffee or real coffee? I'm dying to try it, but don't know if I'm asking for trouble.

Well, I should be careful with cocoa then because I have GERD. I do take Nexium, but it doesn't always work with everything.

Alkali? I believe that's a salt or a sodium carbonate that's a base. Like Heather said, some people can't tolerate cocoa; if you suspect you're one of them, avoid it.
The mocha fudge is TO DIE FOR, Girlfriend -- but it's too high in fat. The coffee in it isn't so much the problem I don't think -- because, as I recall, it's far down on the ingredient list -- but it's the addiction. I can't stop eating that stuff. I had 2 scoops -- WAY too much -- and ended up with a terrible attack that lasted for 2 days. I measured one of my scoops, and it's a little under a half cup, so in that one sitting I had ONE CUP! Groan.
For me, I'd be asking for trouble. It's not worth it. But if you can eat just a tiny bit -- and I mean TINY (about half a serving, or 35 grams), go for it. You're a stronger person than I!

I agree with Bev, the tiny amount of coffee in there shouldn't be a problem. And personally, I'm fine with a little bowl of the higher-fat soy ice creams after a soluble fiber meal. It's all about what your body can tolerate!

WHAT ARE ADBs????!!!! OMG, Girl! Are you in for a TREAT! Go to the recipe board and do a search for Antidepressant Brownies, otherwise known as Low-Fat Brownies. TessLouise posted the recipe sometime ago -- and got us all hooked on them. I've made about 20 batches since then. They're INCREDIBLE.
The No-Pudge is hard to find. I had to drive 30 miles out of my way to Albertson's -- they had 2 boxes of the stuff. No-Pudge is great because it's ZERO fat, and it tastes almost as good as the ADBs. Go into the internet and search for No-Pudge -- they have a web site -- or do a search for them here, and you'll find the web site. On the web site is a locator; you put in your zip code, and the locator will find the nearest store in your area that carries them.
ENJOY!

You can find info on the No-Pudge at www.nopudge.com, and here's the ADB's.
Everyone has their own preference of which they like better. Personally, I like the No-Pudge. I think they are more fudgy. Plus I like the conveniece of dump, stir, and bake. When I made the others, they were more cake-like. Depends on which kind you like.
