Ingredients:

  • One box (1 gram) of orange gelatin without added sugar
  • One cup of water that is boiling water
  • A cup of cold water
  • One cup of plain Greek yogurt without fat
  • One package (1 ounce) of instant vanilla pudding mix without sugar
  • 1 cup of almond milk without sugar
  • One teaspoon of optional orange zest
  • A few optional drops of orange food coloring

INGREDIENT NOTES:

Sugar Free Orange Gelatin:

  • This makes the pudding old-fashioned tasting citrus. Sweeteners: Choose a sweetened gelatin that is aspartame or stevia-sweetened to keep the points down.

Greek Yogurt:

  • Gives it protein and creaminess without the fat. Avoid added sugar by using non-fat plain Greek yogurt.

Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix:

  • The fat-free pudding mix and sugar-free pudding mix will also thicken the dessert and give that creamy push-pop flavor.

Almond Milk:

  • The desert is also low in calories since it uses unsweetened almond milk. You may use skim milk, but it can increase the SmartPoints.

Orange Zest:

  • Not essential, but enhances the citrus fresh taste. Zest should be fresh to achieve the best outcomes.

Food Coloring:

  • Just to be pretty-add a couple drops, in case you desire the classic orange creamsicle color.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In one cup of boiling water, dissolve the sugar-free orange gelatin. Mix gently until dissolved.
  2. Once the gelatin has been thoroughly mixed, pour in one cup of cold water and stir until it cools.
  3. Blend the Greek yogurt and sugar-free vanilla pudding mix in a mixer and whisk to combine.
  4. Continue to whisk till the mixture is compact & fluffy, then gradually add the almond milk.
  5. Add the chilled (not hot) gelatin mixture to the yogurt-pudding mixture.
  6. Mix everything by stirring it. If using food coloring, add it along with the orange zest.
  7. Spoon the mixture evenly into push-pop molds, ramekins, or cups.
  8. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
  9. Store the zesty orange Healthy Eating Low-Points Pushing Popping Pudding in the pantry/freezer.

TIPS:

  • For an exciting appearance, use miniature glass jars or push-pop moulds.
  • The gelatin mixture may cause the yogurt to curdle if it is added to the pudding foundation while it is still hot.
  • Before chilling, fold in fat-free whipped topping for a fluffier version.
  • Before serving, add some dissolved sugar-free biscuits for texture.
  • Prepare weeks ahead of time and store in the pantry for a convenient on-the-go snack throughout the week.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

  • Keep in distinct bags with foil or lids. Keeps in the freezer for the next 5 days. If separation happens, give it a little stir before serving.

FREEZER:

  • Because the texture may change, it is not recommended for freezing. For a harder, popsicle-like dessert, you can freeze push-pop molds.

FAQs:

Is Weight Watchers 0 points on this dessert?

  • It is dependent upon your chosen company and approach. Usually, it is approximately 1-2 Smart Points per serving with the fat-free and sugar-free ingredients.

Is it possible to substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt?

  • Yes, but make sure you select non-sweetened ones in order to stay in points. Almond or coconut yoghurt is fine.

What do I do when I am out of almond milk?

  • Any low-fat plant-based milk, such as skim milk, should suffice as long as you count the points.

Is it okay to replace water with orange juice?

  • Replaceable juice to up the calories and sugar level, which impacts Smart Points. Go with water in the original low points one.
