Within your daily calorie quota you can make adjustments
and allow yourself some "treats". Sponge puddings are a definite
treat and can make you feel truly satisfied after your lunch or dinner.
Having a pudding doesn't necessarily mean lots of calories. Read on to

Double Chocolate Sponge Pudding, Be Good to Yourself, Sainsbury's*
A very appetizing looking pudding with a thick, tempting
chocolate sauce. A noticeably larger portion than the others.
The sponge was sticky and chocolatey - just like a homemade
favourite - and made this the unanimous winner! A delight - try
it.

Chocolate Pudding, Perfectly Balanced, Waitrose*
Like its Be Good to Yourself equivalent, this one
looked good (are the panel possibly chocoholics?) It had a
rich chocolate sauce and a substantial sized sponge. The
sponge was dry and compared to its Be Good to Yourself
equivalent. Overall, much better than the others - worth a
try.

Blackberry & Apple Sponge Pudding, Healthy Eating, Tesco*
A golden sponge with a fruity blackberry and apple topping. The
fruit was real, chunky pieces which both looked and tasted good. The sponge,
however, was dry and tasted like they'd left something out! Ok, but
not recommended.

Lemon & Sultana Sponge Desserts, COU, M&S*
A very light sponge with sultanas, lemon sauce and lemon custard.
It had a nice sharp, lemony taste, but the panel were disappointed
with the size of the portion, and the lack of substance to the
sponge.

Low Fat Raspberry Sponge & Custard, Shape*
The portion size was tiny. The sponge looked very pale and
unappetizing and - like the raspberry sauce and custard - had a
manufactured, artificial taste.

Conclusion
Sainsbury's Be Good to Yourself was the clear winner in the taste test.
However, it is worth noting that a single dessert would cost you nearly
100kcal more than the Waitrose, Perfectly Balanced counterpart - which may be a
wiser choice if you have less calories to spare. Do not be tempted to try
the Shape Sponge & Custard - it may have only 136kcal, but it won't
leave you feeling satisfied.
