What exactly is maize pudding?

Maize pudding is an instant pudding made from pre-cooked cornmeal and corn flour. Since the corn is already pre-swollen, you don't have to cook anything: you mix the powder with a hot liquid and let it rest, after which it thickens into a smooth, creamy mass. The base is pure corn, making it naturally gluten-free and lactose-free. It's a source of complex carbohydrates, with added protein and dietary fiber from the corn itself. While many quick snacks primarily provide sugar and fat, here, the slower carbohydrate takes center stage. For many, it's a simple way to quickly put a satisfying meal or snack on the table, without pots, long preparation times, or cleaning a pan. This makes it suitable for home, on the go, or at work, where often only hot water is available. Convenient if you have a kitchen without a hob, as a kettle is enough.

Carbohydrates around your workout

For athletes, maize pudding is particularly interesting as a carbohydrate source around training. After heavy and prolonged exertion, your muscle glycogen stores are depleted, and that's precisely when many athletes turn to fast carbohydrates. Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of skeletal muscle glycogen stores. This effect is achieved with an intake of carbohydrates, from all sources, of 4 g per kg body weight, in doses, within a few hours following exertion. A portion of maize pudding fits well into this, for example, as part of your recovery meal after a long endurance workout or a heavy strength session. Outside of sports too, it's a practical carbohydrate source: a satisfying bowl of pudding that you prepare in an instant. Those looking for extra calories during a bulking phase use it to easily get a little more carbohydrates without much effort.

Nutritional value per serving

Per 100 grams, maize pudding provides about 367 kilocalories, with 68 grams of carbohydrates, of which only 1.4 grams are sugars. It also contains 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 50-gram serving thus provides about 184 kilocalories and 34 grams of carbohydrates. This makes it a high-carb but low-fat base, with a decent amount of fiber. Since no sugar is added, you decide how sweet it is, with fruit, a drizzle of syrup, or a scoop of protein powder, depending on your taste. If you take it with milk instead of water, it automatically adds a little protein and calories. This allows you to adjust the nutritional value to your own goal, whether it's weight loss, maintenance, or precisely weight gain.

Versatile preparation

Preparation is simple: mix 50 grams, about two scoops, with 150 ml of hot water or milk and let it rest for two minutes. Then stir until smooth. From this base, anything is possible. Think of fresh fruit, cinnamon, nuts, a spoonful of peanut butter, or a scoop of protein powder. You can use it for breakfast, as a snack, or as a dessert. You can eat it warm, or let it cool for a firmer pudding to take with you. For athletes, it's just as good as a quick pre-workout snack as it is an element of the post-workout meal. And since a bag contains three kilograms, you can calmly 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 replacement that you can easily adapt to your taste and schedule.

In summary, maize pudding is a gluten-free and vegan meal replacement made from 100 percent corn, rich in complex carbohydrates and with no added sugars. A 3 kg bag, sixty servings, ready in two minutes. Convenient around training and for any other quick meal during your day.
