Wonderful way to get some protein when feeling fragile after more periodontal surgery. I left out the oranges as much as I love them - was afraid the mix would be too tart. With everything else as written (all sugar free except pineapple which was packed in juice), this was not too tart & and was cold (as demanded for several days postop) and gave me protein while being sweet and light. Added to the Mooshy Foods for Tender Mouths to use again and again. Thank you for posting, Annacia.

We do love our cottage cheese, so this recipe really grabbed me, & I made it as given, using lemon Jell-O! Cool & refreshing & something I'd be happy to share with company! Thank you for sharing the recipe with us! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars recipe tag]

Awesome. I used one box of lemon and one box of orange.

I enjoyed this very much. I loved the mix of all the ingredients. I did use the lemon flavoured and I don't think I would use any other flavour. I used some cherries, as it is expensive, but not for every serving.

I made a half-recipe of this and ate the whole thing myself as my lunch. Very refreshing and a great way to use cottage cheese. I used nonfat cottage cheese and lime jello.
