The Best Pudding Mixes Available in Pakistan

Italiano Pudding Mix

Italiano offers three different flavors of puddings; chocolate, french vanilla, and strawberry. I ordered all these exciting flavors from Naheed via Savyour. 

Savyour is a cashback app, which helps me save some extra money at exciting new online and in-store brands and stores. If you too want to shop smartly, shop with Savyour at your favorite grocery stores.

The texture of Italiano pudding was velvety smooth and creamy. What’s more, it’s affordable and has user-friendly instructions, making it easy to cook and enjoy. 

I love the fact that it contains no preservatives, artificial coloring, or flavoring, making it a healthier dessert option. At only 160 calories per serving, it’s a guilt-free way to satisfy your sweet tooth and with three different flavoring options, there’s one for every dessert lover.

Rafhan Pudding Mix

I tried Rafhan pudding at my aunt’s house and found it to be a tasty and creamy dessert option. Although it only comes in one flavor, vanilla, it still satisfies my sweet cravings. The pudding is easy to prepare with user-friendly instructions, readily available, and affordable.

 It has 150 calories per serving and 24g of sugar, making it a relatively healthy dessert choice. However, it does contain sulfite and artificial flavoring. Compared to Italiano pudding, Rafhan has fewer flavor options, but it still offers a delicious and convenient dessert option.

Happy Home Pudding Mix

Finding Happy Home pudding in the market can be a challenge, and unfortunately, the brand does not offer as many flavors as some other options in Pakistan. However, I recently tried their egg-flavored pudding and was pleasantly surprised by its subtle sweetness. It’s a great choice for those who prefer a less overpowering taste. 

It’s worth noting that the pudding does contain artificial flavors and colors. In terms of calories, it’s on par with other brands, with 150 calories per serving and 17g of sugar.
