Are you ready?
Here's day one!
Today's recipe is Mandarine Orange Mousse. I won't leave you in suspense, I'll tell you right off. It was definitely NOT a hit in my house! Ha! But don't let my family be your judge. I thought it was decent and was very reminiscent of an orange creamsicle. My son thought it tasted like orange Tums. My husband thought it tasted like chewable vitamin C. My daughter thought it was ok. I'm not sure I'll be making it again but it was worth a try. I don't hate it, certainly. It won't go to waste, but I think I'll be spending my calories differently after this one is gone!
If you love orange creamsicles and are looking for a low calorie treat, go ahead and give it a try. You might like it!

The original recipes says 4, 1-cup servings are 2.5 points each. I found there to be far more points than that, but the serving size is more than a cup if you count the serving as one fourth of the recipe.
