Ingredients

• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup cold water

For the High-Protein Boost:

• 1 scoop (20–25g) unflavored or matching-flavor protein powder (whey isolate works best)
  or
• 1/2 cup ready-to-drink vanilla protein shake

Optional Creamy Variation:

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Pour it into a medium mixing bowl.
2. Add the sugar-free gelatin powder and stir thoroughly for 1–2 minutes until fully dissolved. There should be no visible crystals.
3. Stir in 1 cup of cold water and allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 3–5 minutes. It should still be liquid but no longer steaming.
4. In a separate bowl or shaker bottle, combine your protein powder with a small amount of the cooled gelatin liquid (or protein shake) and whisk until smooth. This prevents clumping.
5. Slowly whisk the protein mixture back into the main bowl of gelatin. Stir gently but thoroughly until evenly combined.
6. If using Greek yogurt for a creamy version, whisk it in until fully smooth and incorporated.
7. Pour the mixture into small cups, jars, or silicone molds. Keeping portions small helps maintain mindful eating habits.
8. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or until fully set. For a quicker chill, place in shallow containers.
9. Serve chilled. Add optional toppings if desired. 🍓
