Most traditional vanilla pudding recipes are naturally gluten-free, as they typically contain ingredients like milk, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract, which do not contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check the ingredients list on store-bought puddings or mixes, as some may contain gluten-containing additives or be produced in facilities that process gluten-containing foods.
Source of calcium: If made with milk, vanilla pudding provides calcium, which is essential for bone health.
Contains protein: Milk-based puddings offer some protein, which is important for muscle maintenance and overall body function.
Provides energy: The carbohydrates in pudding can provide a quick source of energy.
Low in fat: When made with low-fat or fat-free milk, vanilla pudding can be a relatively low-fat dessert option.
Mood booster: The sweet taste and creamy texture can provide comfort and potentially improve mood.
Easily digestible: For some people, pudding can be easier to digest than other desserts, especially when made with easily digestible ingredients.
Hydration: The high liquid content can contribute to daily fluid intake.
Customizable for dietary needs: Can be made with alternative milks or thickeners to suit various dietary restrictions.
Potential probiotic benefits: If made with probiotic-rich yogurt, it could support gut health.
Versatile base for adding healthier ingredients: Can be a vehicle for adding nutritious toppings like fresh fruits or nuts.Remember, while these points highlight some potential benefits, vanilla pudding should still be consumed in moderation due to its typically high sugar content.

People following a vegan lifestyle (unless it’s a vegan-friendly version)
Individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease (if the pudding contains gluten)
Those on low-calorie or weight loss diets (due to high calorie content)
People with vanilla allergies (rare, but possible)
Individuals with certain digestive disorders that require limiting fat intake
Those following a kosher or halal diet (if the pudding contains non-compliant ingredients)
People with specific food additive sensitivities (depending on the ingredients used)
Individuals on medication that interacts with high-sugar foodsRemember, the exact composition of vanilla pudding can vary, so it’s always best to check the ingredients list if you have any specific dietary concerns or restrictions.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
