REDUCED CALORIE AMBROSIA SALAD
|
I told you I'd be doing
recipes with my honey in mind, and this is one of them. It is a
pared down version, with less sugar. If you use coconut (the
bagged kind) you will have to take that into consideration. I've
had this recipe for a long time, I think I got it from one of my
cousins that her husband is diabetic. It has a lot of flavor, so
it makes you feel like you are not being deprived.
2 pkg. Dream Whip
2 tsp. Vanilla
4 packets Equal
1 lg. Sugar Free Orange Jell-O
1 lg. Can Mandarin Oranges or Fresh (DRAINED)
20 oz. Can Pineapple Chunks (in its own juice) (DRAINED)
4 c. Miniature Marshmallows
1 c. Coconut (shredded, from a bag - Optional)
1 Banana (sliced & Optional)
¾ c. Seedless Grapes (Optional)
Mix the Dream Whip according to
package directions, using water instead of milk. Add the 2
teaspoons of vanilla and Equal.
Add the jell-o and mix well. Fold in the oranges, pineapple and
marshmallows. Refrigerate.
Note: Using fresh oranges
reduces grams of sugar even more.
Add the coconut, banana and grapes if you are using this recipe as
a diet aid and not in a diabetic diet.
NOTE:
To all diabetics, you will have to make a decision if this is an
acceptable recipe for you. It may not be, discuss it with your
dietician. |
