Success StoryEating Healthier Desserts



Eating Healthier Desserts

Author: Cindy Maggard

Planning Unit: Knott County CES

Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

In Kentucky the Center for Disease Control shows our state as 30-35% obesity.  Twenty-six limited resource families participated in a program about eating healthier desserts. 

The Nutrition Education Program Assistant prepared and served a Banana Pudding made using healthier ingredients, such as skim milk, low fat pudding and low fat cookies.  Evaluation showed that 96% liked the flavor and taste of the pudding.  Based on taste 73% of the participants could not tell a difference between the low fat pudding and regular pudding.  Fifty seven percent planned to make the low fat pudding at home.One participant shared that they were diabetic and this was a good way to still eat what they enjoyed.
