sweet treat full of protein

[Lisha73 97]

OK I had to share this cuz I made it this evening and several families loved it.

So here it goes:

It is basically a fruit salad

One package of fat free coolwhip

One small pkg of sugar free strawberry Jello

Mix those together till Jello is basically dissolved

Then add 12 oz of reduced fat cottage cheese

Then add 1 cup of sliced strawberries and 1 bannana sliced (I left these out this time because I am not at the point where I can have raw fruit..but it was very good and tons of protein)

ENJOY!

Sounds good, but where is the Protein - not much in cottage cheese, right?

My mom makes something similar. It has cottage cheese, whip cream, pineapple chucks and pistachio pudding mix. She also adds mini marshmallows, but I eat around them. It us delicious.

Actually, it's crushed pineapple, not chunks.

I made this without the fruit for Memorial Day when I was doing my pre-op low-carb diet, and I thought it was wonderful. I used my mixer to mix it together because I do not like the chunky texture of cottage cheese, and whipped it for about 5 minutes, and it came out very smooth. Several people in my family are diabetics and they enjoyed this as well.

You could add some unflavored Protein Powder for added protein!

I have done one with the cool whip, cottage cheese, orange Jell-O and mandarin oranges. That is yummy too. I like a different twist with your version.

I really miss fruit! I puree & strain strawberries, blueberries & add them to yogurt. Also, bought sf jelly to add to cream of wheat or yogurt.
