Dolceria Sweet Craft Creamy Budino is a rich and creamy Italian-style pudding that packs 15 grams of protein per serving with just 150 to 170 calories per serving. Inspired by the Italian word for "pudding," the brand's new Budino line shares better-for-you treats that make the most of milk sourced from a local family farm, and use no artificial preservatives or thickeners. Shown at Natural Products Expo West 2026, these protein-packed, Italian-inspired pudding products are debuting in two classic flavors: Vanilla and Chocolate.
High-protein snacks that double as treats help snackers feel good about indulging, and this alternative to protein bars, bites or shakes provides a satisfying sweet fix that turns snack time into a mindful, functional choice aligned with fitness or wellness goals.
