Bariatric Gelatin Jello

Print Recipe

A smooth, refreshing gelatin snack designed for bariatric needs, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings with low calories.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder (or agar-agar for vegetarian swap)
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 3/4 cup hot water
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup clear low-sugar juice or flavored drink (optional)
  • 1 scoop collagen or protein powder (optional)
  • Sweetener to taste (stevia, erythritol, or a small amount of sugar)
  • Fresh fruit pieces or mashed berries (optional, small amounts)

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin: Pour 1/4 cup cold water into a bowl and sprinkle 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Dissolve the gelatin: Heat 3/4 cup hot water until near boiling and stir into the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
  3. Add flavor and protein: Stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cup of low-sugar juice and one scoop of collagen or protein powder if using; mix until smooth.
  4. Combine and cool: Pour the mixture into small ramekins or a shallow dish; the liquid should be warm but not hot to the touch.
  5. Chill to set: Refrigerate uncovered for about 1 to 2 hours until firm.
  6. Portion and serve: Use a small spoon to serve; portion sizes of 1/4 to 1/2 cup help with calorie control.

Notes

Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days. Avoid large chunks of fruit early after surgery.
