  2. Step 2: Add one and a quarter cup of boiling water to the bowl.
  3. Step 3: Stir the mixture really well until the powder is completely dissolved.
  4. Step 4: Let the jello cool down at room temperature (don’t put it in the fridge yet).
  5. Step 5: When it’s cool, add the Greek yogurt and protein powder and mix it all together.

Tips & Variations

  • For a smoother texture, gently whisk the yogurt and protein powder into the cooled jello mixture rather than stirring vigorously.
  • Try substituting vanilla protein powder with unflavored or strawberry-flavored powder for a different taste.
  • Add chopped nuts or chia seeds on top for extra crunch and nutrition.
  • If you prefer a sweeter jello, you can add a natural sweetener like stevia or honey before chilling.

Storage

Store the prepared jello in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat is not recommended as it will melt the jello, so enjoy it chilled straight from the fridge.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

Yes, flavored Greek yogurt can be used, but keep in mind it may add extra sweetness and alter the flavor balance of the jello.

What if I don’t have protein powder?

You can skip the protein powder for a simpler jello dessert. The texture may be slightly less creamy, but it will still taste great.
