Description

A low-calorie, protein-forward snack made with gelatin or collagen that is quick to prepare and customizable with various flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons (about 20 g) unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold fruit juice or tea
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or sweetener to taste

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat water to a full boil, then pour it over the bloomed gelatin and whisk until dissolved.
  3. Add cold fruit juice and lemon juice or sweetener, and mix well.
  4. Pour into an 8×8-inch dish or silicone molds.

For a protein boost, you can swap some gelatin for collagen peptides. Avoid adding fresh pineapple or kiwi as they can prevent setting.
