A 5-ingredient Dr Mindy Pelz jello snack inspired by her principles. 75 calories and 12g protein per serving.
Ingredients
For the Jello
- 2 tablespoons unflavored grass-fed gelatin powder Grass-fed matters less for taste, more for the trust signal.
- 1/4 cup cold water Used for blooming the gelatin.
- 2 cups unsweetened hibiscus tea Brewed strong and cooled for color.
- 2 scoops unflavored collagen peptides About 20 grams.
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Cuts the gelatin smell and brightens the flavor.
- 1 to 2 teaspoons monk fruit sweetener Optional, adjust to taste.
Instructions
Preparation
- Brew the hibiscus tea using 3 tea bags steeped for 8 minutes. Squeeze bags out and cool the tea to room temperature.
- Sprinkle gelatin powder over 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl. Let it bloom for a full 5 minutes.
Combining
- Warm the cooled hibiscus tea to about 175°F in a saucepan. Do not boil. Whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved (about 1 minute of whisking).
- Whisk in collagen peptides slowly. Then add lemon juice and monk fruit sweetener. Taste and adjust sweetness.
Chilling
- Pour into 6 small ramekins. Cover loosely and chill in the back of the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight for cleaner cuts.
Serving
- Top with plain Greek yogurt and berries right before serving if desired.
Notes
Bloom the gelatin for a full 5 minutes in cold water. Don't boil the hibiscus tea before adding gelatin; aim for 175°F. Collagen peptides dissolve clearer than whey protein. Skip fresh pineapple, kiwi, papaya, mango, or figs as toppings.
