Found a crust recipe from Hungry Girl this AM.  Try it w/crust

For Crust:
1 1/2 cups Fiber One bran cereal (original), ground to a breadcrumb-like consistency in a blender or food processor
1/4 cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread
4 no-calorie sweetener packets (We like Splenda!)
1 tsp. cinnamon


I calculated the calories for this for 8 servings without the crust, without the whipped topping and without the strawberries.  It was 24 calories. 

You don't need the crust.  There are so many different types of whipped topping including Cool Whip's sugar free toping and I frankly forgot to put the strawberries in there but there's only about 50 cals in a cup of strawberries. 

It looked really good and I'm trying it this weekend. Just simple modifications make it WLS friendly!

Carolyn
 
1 (12-ounce) container low-fat (1 percent) cottage cheese
2 (0.3-ounce) boxes sugar free strawberry gelatin, plus 1 box (recommended: Jell-O)
2 ready-made light graham cracker crusts
1 pint fresh strawberries, plus extra for garnish
1 (8-ounce) container frozen light whipped topping, thawed

 

Put cottage cheese in a blender. Make 2 boxes of the gelatin, using 1 cup of hot and 1 cup of cold water. At once, before it jells, add to cottage cheese. Blend until smooth. Pour evenly into crusts and refrigerate until set. Cut up fruit and place on top of pie. Make remaining package of gelatin as per instructions on box. Pour it on top of fruit and put it in refrigerator until set. Put whipped topping on top. Garnish with more fruit.

That looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I have been making a book with recipes that look good and that  I can eat post-op.  I bought a brand new Hamilton Beach Food Processor at a rummage sale today for only 5.00, I couldn't believe it!  I am going to use it to make this recipe when I am able to eat food again.
