A 3 kg bag is enough for sixty 50-gram servings.

What maize pudding exactly is

Maize pudding is an instant pudding based on pre-cooked maize grits and maize flour. Because the maize is already pre-cooked, you do not need to cook anything: you mix the powder with hot liquid and let it stand for a while, after which it thickens into a smooth, creamy mass. The base is pure maize, which naturally makes it gluten-free and lactose-free. It is a source of complex carbohydrates, with an additional portion of protein and dietary fiber from the maize itself. While many quick snacks mainly provide sugar and fat, this focuses on the slower carbohydrate. For many people, it is an easy way to quickly put a satisfying meal or snack on the table, without pans, without long preparation time and without washing up a saucepan. That makes it just as suitable for home as for on the go or at work, where often only hot water is available. So it is convenient if you have a kitchen without a stove at your disposal, because a kettle is enough.

Carbohydrates around your training

For athletes, maize pudding is especially interesting as a carbohydrate source around training. After strenuous, prolonged exercise, your glycogen stores in the muscles become depleted, and that is exactly when many athletes reach for fast carbohydrates. Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after very intensive and/or prolonged physical exercise that leads to muscle fatigue and depletion of glycogen reserves in the skeletal muscles. The beneficial effect is obtained by consuming carbohydrates from all sources, with a total intake of 4 g per kg of body weight, in doses, within the first 4 hours and at the latest 6 hours after very intensive and/or prolonged physical exercise. A serving of maize pudding fits well into that, for example as part of your meal after a long endurance training or a heavy strength session. Also away from sports, it is a convenient carbohydrate source: a filling bowl of pudding that you prepare in no time. Those who are looking for extra calories during a bulking phase use it to get a little more carbohydrates without much effort.

Nutritional value per serving

Per 100 grams, maize pudding provides approximately 367 kilocalories, with 68 grams of carbohydrates, of which only 1.4 grams are sugars. In addition, there are 9.8 grams of protein, 10 grams of dietary fiber and only 3.8 grams of fat, of which half a gram is saturated. A serving of 50 grams thus comes out to about 184 kilocalories and 34 grams of carbohydrates. That makes it a carbohydrate-rich but low-fat base, with a good amount of fiber on top. Because no sugar has been added, you decide how sweet you make it, with fruit, a dash of syrup or a scoop of protein powder to taste. If you take it with milk instead of water, it naturally adds some protein and calories. This way you adjust the nutritional value to your own needs.

Versatile to prepare

The preparation is simple: mix 50 grams, approximately two scoops, with 150 ml of hot water or milk and let it steep for two minutes. Then you stir it smooth. From that base, you can go in any direction. Think of fresh fruit, cinnamon, nuts, a spoon of peanut butter or a scoop of protein powder added in. This way you use it as breakfast, as a snack or as dessert. You can eat it warm, but also let it cool down into a firmer pudding for on the go. For athletes, it is just as good a quick pre-workout snack as a part of the meal afterwards. And because a bag contains three kilos, you can easily experiment with different flavor combinations without quickly running out of your supply. If you prepare a larger portion, you can store it in the refrigerator for the next day. In short, a flexible meal that you easily adapt to your own taste and daily schedule.

In summary, maize pudding is a gluten-free, vegan instant pudding made from 100 percent maize, rich in complex carbohydrates and without added sugars. A 3 kg bag, sixty servings, ready in two minutes. Convenient around training and for any other quick meal in your day.
