New Recipe - Need Info

OK, I have found a new recipe but I'm not really sure how nutritious it is. It just tastes too good to be truly nutritious. But anyway, I take 1 container of lowfat or FF cottage cheese, mix with 2 packets of SF jello (strawberry or orange), add a full container of SF Cool Whip. Mix all together and let sit in refrigerator a couple of hours then enjoy. Has anyone else tried this or have any nutritional info on it? I can eat it for every meal and since I don't like plain old cottage cheese I thought it was a good way to get in more protein. Heck, even my 10 year old loves it!! Any other recipes similar to this one would be good too..... Thanks, Regina

Cottage Cheese Salad 16 oz low fat cottage cheese 1 small box sugar free jello mix 1 8oz tub sugar free cool whip 1 small can no sugar added crushed pineapple, drained 1. Mix the jello powder with the cool whip. 2. Add cottage cheese and drained pineapple. Mix to combine. 3. Chill in fridge 1 hour. You can vary the jello flavors with what you like. We really like the strawberry, raspberry, and the orange. Sometimes I add drained mandarin oranges to it. Also, if you don't like commercial whip topping, use fresh heavy whipping cream and make your own using a little splenda. Just add the jello powder to the cream before you beat it. This makes a great bandster breakfast if solids are too much but you don't want to do a protein shake. Just be careful. Try to use as much sugar free and low fat ingrediants as you can. I don't think this has all the nutritional info, but it gives variations, I also make it with instand pistachio pudding, (yum) Donna

Regina, Here's a stab at it using the info from SparkPeople: 2 pk SF jello mix (8 servings) Fat free Cottage cheese (16 oz/2 cups) Low fat whip topping (8 oz/1 cup...they didn't have sf cool whip listed and all the other toppings were by 'serving' or 'tablespoon'. This was the only one by 'cup') Assuming you would get 3 cups total once it was all mixed up (2 c cottage cheese + 1 c cool whip), and getting six 1/2 c servings: Calories: 102.7 Fat: 2 g Carb: 1.2 g Protein: 15.3 g If you need/want it more exact, send me the nutritional info per serving and how many servings in your container and I'll be happy to figure it up for you.
