Description

A light and jiggly snack that is low in calories and satisfies your sweet cravings while keeping you full.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cold water, divided
  • 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (about 2 packets)
  • 1 cup strong-flavored tea or juice with no added sugar, or water with a squeeze of lemon
  • Sweetener to taste: stevia, monk fruit, or a touch of honey
  • Optional: a pinch of pink salt, vanilla, or citrus zest

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup of cold water into a bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over the top and let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. Warm the remaining 1 cup of water plus your chosen flavored liquid in a small pot until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk the bloomed gelatin into the hot liquid until fully dissolved. Taste, then add sweetener little by little until it makes you smile.
  4. Pour into jars or a square dish. Chill for 2 to 3 hours until set. Slice or spoon and enjoy.

Notes

For extra flavor, swap part of the water for strong herbal tea like hibiscus or peppermint.
