Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup water, divided
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 1/8 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
Optional Ingredients
- 1 scoop collagen
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or flavor drops
- Stevia or monk fruit sweetener, to taste
Instructions
- Bloom the Gelatin: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over ½ cup of cold water and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes. This allows the gelatin granules to absorb water and soften.
- Heat Water and Dissolve Salt: Heat the remaining ½ cup of water until it is steaming hot but not boiling. Stir in 1/8 teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt until fully dissolved to infuse minerals and enhance flavor.
- Combine Gelatin and Salted Water: Pour the hot salted water into the bloomed gelatin mixture and stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved without any lumps.
- Add Optional Ingredients: Incorporate optional add-ins such as 1 scoop of collagen for extra protein, 1 tablespoon lemon juice or flavored drops for taste, and sweeten with stevia or monk fruit according to your preference. Stir well to combine.
- Set the Jello: Pour the prepared mixture into small serving cups or molds. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or until fully set and firm. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Use cold water for the blooming step to ensure proper gelatin activation.
- Do not boil the water to avoid degrading the gelatin’s setting properties.
- Adjust sweetness and flavorings according to your dietary needs and taste.
- Chilling time may vary based on refrigerator temperature and container size.
- This recipe supports bariatric dietary requirements by providing a low-calorie, protein-rich snack to help with fullness and recovery.
