Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons plain gelatin powder
- 1 cup sugar-free fruit juice (cranberry, lemon, or orange)
- 1 cup cold water
Instructions
- Pour the cold water into a bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface.
- Let the gelatin bloom for about 5 minutes so it absorbs the water.
- In a small pot, gently warm the sugar-free fruit juice over low heat without boiling.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm juice.
- Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and fully dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into silicone molds or small cups.
- Refrigerate for about 3 hours or until the gelatin is fully set.
- Serve chilled as a light protein snack.
Notes
Always bloom the gelatin first in cold water to prevent lumps. Heat the juice gently instead of boiling to keep the texture smooth. Store the gelatin in the refrigerator for up to five days in sealed containers.
