How To Make JELL-O
Mrs. CBB and I both have a sweet tooth and want a snack or an after-dinner treat.
When I first came across this protein JELL-O recipe on TikTok, I knew I had to try it, although I was skeptical.
Sometimes adding ingredients to JELL-O doesn’t always work, so I thought it would be a trial-and-error experience for us.
Making JELL-O is simple; however, there are a couple of changes for a high-protein recipe.
First, the sugar-free JELL-O box recipe calls for 2 cups of water, whereas the high protein recipe has only one.
Secondly, you need to cool the hot JELL-O before you add the high-protein sources.
Overall, we love this high-protein JELL-O, so we cut the recipe for the blog, and now we get to share our new favourite treat with all of you.
The best part is you can top the protein JELL-O with whatever you like.
Types Of Sugar-Free Jello Flavours
Depending on which Canadian grocery store you shop at, it’s hit or miss finding sugar-free JELL-O.
For example, at Food Basics, we only found strawberry and cherry sugar-free JELL-O, but at Zehrs, they also sold orange, lemon, and lime flavours.
You don’t have to use sugar-free JELL-O, which would open your options widely, as many regular JELL-O flavors are available.
At $1.29 a box or less, this sugar-free, high-protein JELL-O recipe is a budget-friendly dessert keeper.
Nutrition – High-Protein Sugar-Free JELL-O Recipe
If your goal is high-protein, low-calorie, delicious dessert recipes, you need this protein JELL-O.
To eat an entire package of JELL-O with Greek Yogurt, the total calories come to 140, with 23 grams of protein.
If you add one scoop of Good Protein (that’s what we use), add another 21 grams of protein.
So, 310 calories with the extra scoop of protein powder, plus an additional 21 grams of protein, totalling 44 grams.
If you prefer the yogurt and the cottage cheese, the nutrition comes to an additional 90 calories and 13 grams of protein.
So, 230 calories with 36 grams of protein, with the added cottage cheese to the protein JELL-O.
Other Protein Sources For High-Protein JELL-O
- Add 1/2 cup fat-free or 1% low-fat cottage cheese
- Add one scoop of whey isolate or vegan protein powder to the JELL-O
- Add 1/2 0%-1% sour cream to JELL-O
- Add 1 cup 2% Greek Yogurt
High-protein JELL-O recipes such as mine can use additional protein besides the Greek Yogurt to boost intake.
For example, we tried cottage cheese and Greek yogurt and blended them before refrigeration to make them smooth. It worked perfectly!
Do the same if you add a whey isolate or vegan protein powder to avoid having any clumps in the JELL-O.
Add cling wrap to the top before refrigerating for 2-3 hours.
I’m sure you’ll eat or share the entire recipe in one sitting, but if you have leftovers, they last for a few days in the refrigerator. (at least that’s all I’ve managed to test).
