Main Ingredients

1 packet gelatin powder (unflavored) Provides the jelly structure and low-calorie bulk; can substitute agar for a vegetarian option.
1 cup water or unsweetened milk alternative Hydrates and dissolves gelatin; warmer liquids help bloom gelatin.
1/2 to 1 scoop protein powder or collagen peptides Boosts protein to increase satiety; use whey, pea, or collagen depending on preferences.
to taste sweetener of choice (stevia, erythritol, honey) Balances flavor; adjust to taste and calorie goals.
to taste flavorings (vanilla extract, cocoa, lemon zest) Add aroma and complexity; fresh fruit purees work for natural sweetness.
a pinch salt Enhances overall flavor and balances sweetness.

Preparation

Sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water per packet and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes to hydrate.
Heat 1 cup of water or milk alternative to just under boiling, around 175 to 185°F, then remove from heat.
Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm liquid until fully dissolved, for about 1 to 2 minutes.
Whisk in 1/2 to 1 scoop of protein powder or collagen, plus sweetener and extracts, until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or molds and refrigerate for 1.5 to 2 hours until set.
Cut the set gelatin into portions and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
