Get refreshed, refueled and revitalized with this fun, wiggly, jiggly post-workout snack – a Creamy Gelatin Protein Cup easily crafted with a blend of sports protein water and luscious Greek yogurt.

I used PWR LIFT protein water and Zero-Sugar Chobani (no-fat), both in berry flavors, to create this dessert that’s like a low-carb Jello cup. The only other ingredient you need is unflavored gelatin. There are also a few vegan gelatin options.

Also, FYI, you can use a Greek Yogurt with higher or full milk fat for an even more luscious result (it will change the nutrition facts though). The fun thing about this yogurt Jello cup makeover recipe, and what keeps it from getting boring on repeat, is that you can use can get creative with the flavors by mix and matching the protein water and yogurt flavors!

Designed to replenish electrolytes, essential BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids), and protein after an intense workout or run, I like to say this satisfying healthy snack is like a sports drink you can eat, lol!

With just 67 calories per generous serving (about 10-oz), boasting a mere 3 grams of carbs and a whopping 14 grams of protein, it’s a low-carb, low-calorie delight that isn’t just for sweaty runners – it can help fill you up — and with lots of satiating protein –if you are on a weight loss journey and are looking for low carb desserts or keto desserts,

Course: Dessert, Snack, workout

Cuisine: keto, low carb

Keyword: frozen yogurt, high protein, jello, keto

Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

• ¼ cup cool water
• 1 packet unflavored gelatin about 1 tbsp
• 1 16.9 oz bottle PWR Lift, flavor of choice
• 1 5.3 oz carton Greek yogurt, any flavor or milk-fat using unflavored, (if using unsweetened yogurt, I’d add 5-10 drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit)
• Optional: whipped cream, berries, etc for topping

Instructions

1. Pour cool water into a microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle gelatin over water (don’t dump in one big clump, SPRINKLE!). Let sit for 5 minutes to “bloom” – it will look like runny applesauce.
2. Microwave bloomed gelatin for JUST five seconds to liquify. If it doesn’t look clear and liquid-y, microwave another 3-5 seconds. Do NOT over microwave or the gelatin won’t work.

3. Pour a room temperature PWR Lift and yogurt into bowl with gelatin, whisk to combine. Pour equally between two 12-oz bowls or glasses.

4. Chill for 4 hours or until firm. If desired, top with more yogurt, whipped cream, berries, other toppings.
