    Hey, if you’re new here, welcome!  My name is Jenna and I love my air fryer! Plus, if you also follow the WW program most of my recipes will have the points added in the notes section.

    Cranberry fluff is not your average salad and it has become a staple side dish at many homes during Thanksgiving. Not only it is easy to make this favorite dish even saves space in the oven because it’s just a salad that you can keep cool in the fridge.  

    I lightened this dish up by replacing the sugar with a can of crushed pineapple which will help sweeten the cranberries up and using Cool Whip instead of heavy cream. The Instant vanilla pudding gives it even more flavor.  

    What Ingredients do I need? 

    In this section you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

    Cool Whip   - This is frozen whipped topping and it can be found in the freezer section of your grocery store. 

    Instant Vanilla Pudding - I used sugar-free vanilla pudding but regular can also be used 

    Raw Cranberries  - Use a food processor to finely chop them

    Crushed Pineapple  - drained 

    Marshmallows  - pre-cooked, and chopped.

    How do you figure out points for recipes? 

    Nutrition info is calculated with the zero point food included in the recipe. If you’re using the nutrition info to figure out points it might not be the same as what the points are listed in the notes section. I use the recipe builder to calculate points. Myfitness pal for nutrition info. 

    Why am I still getting different points from what you have listed? 

    This could be quite a number of reasons and here are a few that I have come across. 

    Number of servings 

    Different brand used 

    Low-Fat vs Fat-Free ingredients

    Using the nutrition info calculator instead of the recipe builder

      That's fine as well. The sugar-free ones are 1 oz boxes I believe.

      I love this recipe! I cannot find 1oz box of vanilla pudding so I use one 3.4oz of vanilla pudding per batch. I also use coco whip to make this recipe diary free. And I use mandarin oranges too instead of pineapple

      You don't need any sugar. I updated the post so it wasn't confusing.

      How much sugar should you add? Didn't see it listed in your recipe.
