Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, add the sugar-free gelatin mix to the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  2. Stir in the cold water until well combined.
  3. If using protein powder or collagen powder, let the mixture cool for 3 to 5 minutes, then whisk it in thoroughly until smooth.
  4. Pour the gelatin mixture into individual serving cups or a shallow dish.
  5. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, or until fully set.
  6. Serve chilled. For best bariatric-friendly consistency, make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved and smooth before serving.

Notes

If adding protein powder or collagen powder, only do so if approved by your bariatric team. Stir or whisk well to avoid clumps and ensure a smooth texture. Chill until fully set for the best consistency.
