Recipe Notes
You can substitute the clementine slices with diced apple. *This is based on the Trim Healthy Mama stevia brand that I personally use and linked to in the recipe which is quite concentrated. Stevia potency really varies from brand to brand so you may need to adjust the level of stevia to more or less depending on which one you use.

After seeing this recipe, I made a similar version of it one night when I didn’t want to cook dinner. I used a large navel orange, some nonfat farmer cheese, and cucumbers (instead of celery) since I had those in the house. Very yummy and satisfying combination. Thank you for the idea!
Awesome! I’m glad you liked it.
I’ll admit I was nervous about this one because I’ve never tried cottage cheese before. But this is my adventure so I whipped it up exactly as written, chilled for an hour and dived right in. It was surprisingly refreshing. The Clementine and the spices were perfect and the celery kept the texture from being too mushy. I will have this again. Thanks Rayzel!
Awesome I’m so glad to hear that Michelle! I totally agree with you it’s one of those things that seems like it would be weird, but I felt the same way that it was kind of refreshing especially like you said with the crunch of the celery in there.
Rayzel, I am BRAND new. This is my first day, so please excuse my question if it is like a “duh” question lol. Ok, so with this recipe, I should count it as two servings and each serving is 1 protein, 1/2 veggie, and 1/2 fruit, right? Thanks in advance! I’ve been following you for quite some time now and have finally found the gumption to begin the journey. I ordered through NuImage and received the $50 discount through your website. Thank you!!
Hey there Clarissa! Thanks for bringing this up- yes I would consider it that way for this recipe- which means you could also try adjusting it by adding more veggies and a little more fruit and perhaps spices and see if you can have it still taste good- I for the clementines I might personally stick with 3/4 cup of fruit for 1 fruit serving, vs. an entire cup – but that’s debatable. ;)- Hope that helps! But yes definitely on the veggies you could eat more for sure for 1 serving.
Thanks this is great. I made it with an orange and crumbled my Melba toast over it. I did not use any veggies.
wonderful! Glad you liked Leslie!
