Guest guest Posted November 30, 2001 Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 Here is a recipe I found for protein jello on the Body For Life web site. " Here's a FANTASTIC snack I made up/adapted from others: 1 packet Sugar Free Jello - Your favorite flavor 2 cups low- or no-fat cottage cheese 1 serving of vanilla protein powder 1 can or about 2 servings of fresh fruit Blend cottage cheese and protein powder together in the blender. While it blends, boil one cup of water and If your fruit is canned, drain and run under water to rinse off excess sugars. Divide the fruit between 4 containers (I use the glad throwaway containers - they are just the right size). When water boils add it to jello and dissolve. Slowly add the jello to cottage cheese/protein powder mixture and let the blender run for about a minute. Pour the cottage cheese mixture evenly between the 4 containers. Chill for 4 or more hours. Add a dollop of Redi-whip to the top and enjoy (real whipped cream, come on - it's only 20 calories, 2g fat, less than 1 carb). It's SO SO SO good and I can't even explain it. It's like mousse with little bits of nirvana in it. I do this with: - Orange Jello & Mandarin Orange Slices - Lime jello and crushed pineapple - strawberry jello and peaches - cranberry jello & fresh raspberries For a real treat add 2/3 cups of strawberries to the cottage cheese mixture along with the jello and pour over fresh strawberries. Nutritional Breakdown About 160 calories 16g carbs, 16g protein, 3g fat. I haven't tried this, but I know my friend is looking for ways to get her protein in, so I started looking around. Let me know how this is if you try it. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
