Healthy Orange Creamsicle
Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.
We have to thank Dieter Claire for inventing this recipe. She modified the fruit parfait recipe and developed a strawberry “ice cream” recipe and this one with frozen mandarin oranges. She says, “it’s like an orange creamsicle.” YUM!
Servings: Makes 4, 1/2 cup servings (because of the cottage/ricotta cheese, one serving counts as 2 oz of your protein allotment)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
- 1 tsp of Truvia
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- 2 cups of frozen mandarin oranges (you can use fresh or canned)
Instructions:
This recipe requires a little bit of freezer time, but it’s worth it. First, you need to freeze your mandarins. If you are using canned mandarins packed in water, you’ll want to drain the water first, then stick them in a freezer bag and pop them in the freezer for a few hours. If you are using fresh mandarins or cuties, peel them and stick them in the freezer.
Once they’re frozen, you’re going to put them in a food processor or blender along with the all the other ingredients.
Whiz everything up until it is smooth and light.
Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Who doesn't love cranberry sauce. Happy holidays!
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
A traditional holiday classic.
Cranberry Royale (EASY)
This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.
Chive Butter Biscuits
This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!

Hello everyone I will like to no witch flavor packs is good for this plan also sparkling flavor water.
Hi Deundra, you can do True Lemon Fruit Infusions like this one: https://www.truelemon.com/products/true-lemon-fruit-infusions-lemon-cucumber Just make sure there are no sugars in the ingredients. Same goes for sparkling water. Any flavor of sparkling water is fine, just make sure it is not sweetened (no sugars or artificials). LaCroix and Bubly are two brands that our dieters like. Hope that helps!
