Or maybe I'm just reading in to it how I want to. 
but it's also because it has a lot of Vitamin A apparently. But that pudding concoction also tastes good with just chocolate protein powder or almond butter with s/f pudding mix, so I’ll give that a whirl. I actually had it with red kidney beans the other day (yes, I’m a weirdo) and I actually thought it was good too. 
I know what you mean about being SCARED – like you I feel like I already eat clean, so having to drop certain foods that keep me somewhat sane now, seems like a huge change in routine. Like a week ago, when I was told that I couldn’t have Laughing Cow light cheese wedges anymore, I was devastated. That piece of Ezekiel bread with creamy cheese was always that final icing to my mid-afternoon meal that I would look forward to. Well, guess what – I tossed all the remaining light cheese wedges after I was told in the garbage and haven’t looked back since. In fact, not having the cheese has made me not want to have the bread as much either, and I have to say my stomach looks much less poochy now than before. Instead, I’ve been experimenting with different legumes (butter beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans etc), splurged a little on fresh salmon filets to have often, played around with veggies and started to develop a taste for different meal combos. My point is we’ll find a way to make it work….and when we can add these items back into our diet, we'll probably learn to appreciate them even more.
