Broken Glass Breakfast

Ok, it's not really broken glass but rather 'broken glass jell-o'! I have already lost about 3 kilos. And I have done so by exercising every day and by completely cutting out sweets. Enter Jell-o. It has very few calories and totally serves as a great substitute for the Galaxy bars and cookies I use to eat just about every other day! Here's the recipe:

Broken Glass

1 3 ounce gelatin package each of cherry, lime and orange
3 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 3 ounce package lemon gelatin
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold fresh lemonade
1 3/4 cups thawed non dairy whipped topping

A day before serving: Dissolve cherry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Repeat with the lemon and orange. Add 1/2 cold water to cherry gelatin. Repeat with the lemon and orange flavors. Pour each flavor into its own 8 inch square pan. Chill overnight. Early the day of serving: Dissolve lemon gelatin and sugar in 1 cup boiling water. Add lemonade. Chill until slightly thickened. Meanwhile cut cherry, lime and orange flavored gelatins into 1/2 inch cubes. Blend whipped topping into lemon gelatin. Fold in gelatin cubes. Pour into 9 inch tube pan or 8 cup mold. Chill for several hours until firm. Unmold and garnish with extra whipped topping and fresh mint leaves.
