Protein Jello Dessert
This light and flexible dessert combines sugar-free gelatin, protein, and optional creamy elements, satisfying your sweet cravings without excess calories.

- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (optional) For a creamy texture.
- to serve sugar free whipped topping, berries, or a few chocolate chips (optional) For serving suggestions.

Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, pour in the boiling water and whisk in the gelatin powder for 45 to 60 seconds until fully dissolved.
- Let the mixture cool for about 3 to 4 minutes until it is hot but not raging hot.
- Whisk in the cold water or cold almond milk.
- Sprinkle in the protein powder while whisking until smooth.
- If using, whisk a couple spoonfuls of the gelatin mix into the Greek yogurt to thin it out, then whisk that back into the bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a glass dish or single serve cups and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
