Happy 4th of July!


Copyright Tonya Hill 2012
In July, we tend to find ourselves busy with traveling, camping, and barbeques. The common denominator with all of these events is spending time with our friends and family. When on a weight loss program, attending these events can be difficult and sometimes embarrassing. Rather than having to be the outcast at a 4th of July bbq or at a family reunion, we need to learn how to incorporate Ideal Protein and healthy living into our current busy lives. Why not bring an IP dish to a bbq or cook dinner for your friends that is IP friendly? Use your imagination and create IP dishes that everyone can enjoy, like this jello/pudding dessert that is pictured above. Continue your hard work this month and remember that the fact that you are willing to change yourself for the better is the greatest thing that you can do.

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!


American Flag Jello/Pudding Dessert

Ingredients:
IP Raspberry Jelly
IP Blueberry Pudding
IP Vanilla Pudding
Stripes are made with IP Vanilla Pudding and red food coloring
(Adjust the number of IP packets to how many people you are serving. I used 3 of each packet for the above dessert.)

Directions:
Prepare Jello as directed on package. Once jello is cool, add a layer of prepared blueberry pudding, a layer of the prepared vanilla pudding and decorate the top with blueberry pudding for the square of the flag and the vanilla pudding dyed with red food coloring for the stripes. Bring to any bbq or family gathering and enjoy!
