Pro Tips
Making this Orange Fluff is simple but here a few tips to make sure that it turns out perfectly every time that you make it.
- Make sure that you beat the greek yogurt well. This will make for a lighter and creamier texture.
- Use sugar-free jello powder to keep the points low.
- Drain the mandarin oranges and pineapple before adding them to the mixture. If it’s not drained well then then the juice will cause this weight watchers dessert to be watery.

This is a great recipe. The only things I changed is I crushed up the oranges so they were not in segments, Mom liked this more because they were through out it like the pineapple, and because my niece was having some I added an extra cup of marshmallows. Which made it even better.
Another high praise is that my Mom that pretty much hates sugar free absolutely loved it
I’m so glad your mom and niece liked the recipe. I like how you modified it for both of their preferences. Thanks for commenting and letting us know it was a hit with your family.
Hello! Question about the yogurt measurement. Is this calling for three 8 oz cups of yogurt or 3 of the individual serving cups which I didnโt notice until after purchasing are 5.3 oz each. Thank you for the recipe!
Yes, 3 cups, as in 24 ounces.
Do you happen to know what the PointsPlus points are for this?
Unfortunately, I haven’t kept up with WW so I don’t have access to do those calculations now.
Pam, we checked in with a friend that knows all about Weight Watchers and she said, it is 3 Weight Watchers points per serving.
Use cottage cheese instead of yogurt. Very good
Thanks for the great idea! I’m sure some of my readers will want to try it that way.
Great healthy recipes thank you and God’s Blessings
I’m so glad you like it. Thanks for commenting.
Made this recipe today-soooo good!! It fit that craving for something sweet and summery. Thank you.
Oh good, I’m so happy to hear that you liked it! Thanks so much for commenting and letting us know.
Iโm missing the point value.
At the bottom of the recipe card under the Notes, it states, “Each ยพ cup serving has 3 myWW points on the Blue and Purple plans, and 4 points for Green plan.”
I like this recipe however the jello listed on the ingredient list is incorrect/confusing. A small box of SF jello is 0.44oz so if the recipe really calls for 3oz you’d be adding 6 boxes of jello.
Thanks for pointing that out. You are correct, it should be 0.3 ounce box. I changed it now.
My Greek yogurt just turns to liquid– it never fluffs. I’ve tried putting jello in and letting it cool in fridge. I’ve tried two different Greek yogurts, neither one fluffs.
Did you use the whisk attachment for the mixer? Also, it takes around 10 minutes of mixing to create a light and fluffy yogurt – did you mix it for that much time?
Mine turns liquid, too; I whisk – with the whisk attachment for at least 10 minutes. It basically turns to white “water”.
Maybe try mixing it just until it’s light and fluffy, even if that’s less than 10 minutes.
Are you adding water to the jello? You just sprinkle in dry mix for this recipe.
No, you don’t need to add water to the jello. You just pour in the dry jello powder with the yogurt and mix it.
Mine did the same thing but Iโm only
On my first try did you ever get this figured out?
Can I use a fruit other than oranges
Yes, you can definitely use a different kind of fruit.
