I’ve got news: You can enjoy your holiday season without putting on 5 pounds!

So what if you want dessert? Have it! I’ve got a quick recipe for success that will help you to curb your late-night binge for sweets. If you’re invited to any holiday parties or pot-lucks, then your company will love you for making one of the few dishes that won’t leave them feeling fat and guilty in the morning!

 

This is the basic recipe:

  • 1 box JELL-O (Sugar-free/fat-free)
  • 1 1/2-2 cups Non-fat milk
  • Optional (for those of you focusing more on increasing lean muscle and less on losing weight) : 2 scoops protein powder (aim for 25 grams protein, 0 fat, 0 carbs)

Mixing Instructions:

Mix 1 1/2-2 cups non-fat milk, 1 packet of the sugar free instant pudding mix, and 2 scoops of protein (optional) in a blender for 2 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
