- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Chill time: 30 minutes (optional)
- Yields: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 scoops (approx. 60g) Strawberry or Vanilla whey protein isolate
- 1 box (0.3 oz) Sugar-Free Strawberry Gelatin mix (like Jell-O)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water or ice cubes
- 1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt (or heavy whipping cream for a richer version)
- Toppings: Sugar-free whipped cream and fresh strawberries, halved
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Dissolve the Gelatin: In a large bowl, whisk the sugar-free strawberry gelatin mix into 1 cup of boiling water until the powder completely dissolves.
- Cool it Down: Stir in the 1/2 cup of cold water (or ice cubes) to cool the mixture down quickly.
- Combine Base Ingredients: Add the protein powder and Greek yogurt (or heavy cream) directly into the cooled gelatin mixture.
- Whip until Fluffy: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the mixture on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes. It will pull in air, double in volume, and turn into a light, pastel-pink foam.
- Portion and Chill: Divide the whipped fluff evenly into 4 small dessert glasses or bowls. Place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the gelatin set up slightly into a sturdy mousse texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, top each bowl with a swirl of whipped cream and a fresh strawberry half to match the photo.
Nutritional Tip: Using a clean whey protein isolate and non-fat Greek yogurt keeps the carbohydrates near zero while maximizing the protein content, making it a perfect quick macro-friendly treat!
