Stretching a Recipe for Lower Sodium

Jell-O Fat Free Rice Pudding, one of their Cook & Serve puddings, is a vegan treat that is also low in sodium.
The initial dry mix is 90 Calories and 100 mg Sodium per serving.  Add in ½ cup of rice milk per serving (60 Cal / 40 mg Sodium), and its 150 Calories and 140 mg Sodium.
To stretch it out some, follow the package instructions (but of course using rice milk) and add 1/4 cup of raisins and bring the whole thing to a boil.  Then add in a cup of fully cooked white rice and bring to a boil again.
Again following the package instructions, cool for 15 minutes, stirring twice and pour into a bowl, or bowls.
It can be served hot or cold.
The extra rice and raisins should stretch the recipe to at least five if not six servings, depending on generosity.
At six servings the count is approximately 160 Cal and 100 mg Sodium
