Gelatin Base
- 1 large box (0.6 oz) sugar-free jello
- 2 cups hot water
Protein Mix
- 2 scoops (60 grams total) vanilla protein powder
- 2 cups full fat plain Greek yogurt
- Dissolve the Jello: In a bowl, completely dissolve the sugar-free Jello powder in 2 cups of hot water. Stir thoroughly to ensure there are no granules left. Once dissolved, pour the Jello and water mixture into a blender.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add 2 scoops (60 grams) of vanilla protein powder and 2 cups of full-fat plain Greek yogurt to the blender. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring the protein powder and yogurt are fully incorporated with the gelatin.
- Refrigerate to Set: Pour the blended mixture evenly into eight 5.5-ounce cups. Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the Jello is completely set and has a firm, gelled texture. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and richer flavor, but low-fat options can be substituted if preferred.
- Ensure the Jello is completely dissolved in hot water before blending to avoid gritty texture.
- For added sweetness, consider using a sugar-free sweetener if your protein powder is not sweetened.
- Protein powder flavors other than vanilla, such as chocolate, can be used to vary the flavor profile.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a thick plant-based yogurt and use dairy-free protein powder.
- This recipe yields eight servings and is excellent for meal-prep or quick on-the-go snacks.
