Ingredients
Scale
Jello Base
- 2 tbsp Strawberry Sugar Free Jello Mix
- 1 1/4 cup boiling hot water
Protein Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
- 1 scoop low carb vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Combine Jello Powder: Put the sugar-free strawberry Jello powder into a large bowl to prepare the gelatin base.
- Add Boiling Water: Carefully pour 1 1/4 cups of boiling hot water into the bowl containing the Jello powder.
- Stir to Dissolve: Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the Jello powder has fully dissolved to ensure a smooth texture.
- Cool the Mixture: Allow the Jello mixture to cool down to room temperature. Avoid refrigerating at this stage to prevent premature setting.
- Mix Yogurt and Protein: Once the Jello has cooled, add the plain Greek yogurt and the scoop of low carb vanilla protein powder, mixing all ingredients together evenly.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let the mixture set for 2 to 3 hours until firm.
- Serve: Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh strawberry slices and a dollop of whipped cream for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Ensure the Jello mixture is completely cooled before adding yogurt to avoid curdling.
- The protein powder is optional but adds extra protein and flavor.
- Use sugar-free Jello to keep this dessert low in carbs and sugar.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Letting the Jello set properly in the fridge is key for the right texture.
- Fresh strawberries and whipped cream add a lovely garnish but can be omitted to reduce calories.
