I made this... it was delicious... however with the pudding mix and cottage cheese, it was almost 1,000 mg of sodium!!
I gained 3 lbs of water weight the next day, because it put me wayyyyy over 2500 after it was all said and done for the day! (no exaggeration)
I want to make it again, but I am scared to death! lol.

I will have to find low sodium cottage cheese or use Fage.
