Clear Protein Jello
Remember the days of snacking on Jell-o cups to avoid indulging in calorie-rich foods? Top it off with a whizz of whipped cream and you're in heaven. Why is nobody eating Jell-o any longer?! Here’s what we propose – bring back Jell-o but make it better – aka Protein Jell-o!
Mixing protein into Jell-o is no easy feat. That’s why we tested and tested (and tested) this recipe to ensure you end up with Jell-o and not some science experiment. Here’s the trick - mix Clear Whey Isolate with water in advance, so you don’t end up with foam or clumps.
This sweet snack is so low in calories you could eat the entire thing! Try topping with whipped cream, sprinkles, shredded coconut, or even fresh fruit!
