Directions

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. Pour the cottage cheese mixture evenly between the 4 containers.
  4. 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).
  5. Try These Combos:
  6. - Orange Jello & Mandarin Orange Slices.
  7. - Lime jello and crushed pineapple.
  8. - strawberry jello and peaches.
  9. - cranberry jello & fresh raspberries.
  10. - For a real treat add 2/3 cups of strawberries to the cottage cheese mixture along with the jello and pour over fresh strawberries.
