Rhuby Cherry Delight, An Heirloom Recipe

The recipe for Rhuby Cherry Delight comes from my Grandma. Cherries were her favorite fruit and often served as a snack in a bowl. That doesn’t quite fit within my Trim Healthy Mama Journey although it can on occasion. I did change a few things, just because her’s called for boxed jello and heavy cream which would make this off plan because of the boxed jello. 

The Ingredients, No Special Ingredients 

You can use THM Just Gelatin or if like me you have knox gelatin on hand, it’s easy to make. You would just need to grab some Cherries, I used Bing Cherries that I got on sale. About 2 stalks of rhubarb, or you can use frozen. Some Cherry Berry Tea (This is my favorite in Good Girl Moonshine too). And some 0% Greek Yogurt (I like to use my Homemade Yogurt from My Instant Pot). Your favorite on plan sweetener.

Why This Rhuby Cherry Delight is Labeled as an E

Before sharing this recipe with all my fellow Trim Healthy Mama’s; I did check to make sure my labeling is correct. This gelatin salad falls into an Energizing side dish because of the Cherries.

I know, I know the “numbers” say differently but Mama remember “Food Freedom” — Don’t get tied up in the numbers!!  If you really want the “why” please refer to your THM Plan Book on page 51 or under the “Meal Recap” found in your Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. 

Personally, I’ve enjoyed this as a snack with additional Cherries to bump up the healthy carbs and as dessert after a lighter E meal.

To Unmold Gelatin:
