I love pistachio pudding. That fake, vibrant bright green that comes with faux pistachio pudding, ice cream and all other falsely-flavored pistachio products. If you ever had a REAL pistachio product, you know that you get a very light, light green that takes away some of the fun. Thanks to a mystery ingredient, you can have the same fantastic bright green pistachio pudding, but a healthier, low carb pudding version! Plus lots of extra iron. 🙂
