Ingredients
1 box (3 oz) sugar-free strawberry Jello
¾ cup boiling water
½ cup cold water
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 scoop vanilla or strawberry protein powder
½ tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tbsp powdered sweetener, optional
½ cup diced fresh strawberries
Optional: 2–3 tbsp light whipped topping for extra fluffiness
Instructions
Add the strawberry Jello powder to a mixing bowl.
Pour in the boiling water and whisk until the gelatin completely dissolves.
Stir in the cold water and allow the mixture to cool for several minutes.
Add the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Pour the yogurt mixture into the cooled Jello and whisk until well combined.
Fold in the diced strawberries.
Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until the mixture is chilled and set.
For an extra-light texture, gently fold in whipped topping before serving.
Spoon into individual dessert cups and garnish with fresh strawberries.
💪 Protein Tips
For the highest protein content, use nonfat Greek yogurt and a protein powder containing 20–25 g protein per scoop. You can also add a little extra Greek yogurt if you prefer a thicker, creamier fluff.
Q&A
Q: Can I use regular Jello?
Yes. Regular strawberry gelatin works, although the nutritional values will be different.
Q: Can I make this without cottage cheese?
Absolutely. Replace it with additional Greek yogurt, although cottage cheese helps increase the protein and creates a creamy texture when blended.
Q: How long does it last?
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Q: Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, but thaw and drain them well first so the fluff doesn’t become watery.
Q: Can I make this ahead for meal prep?
Yes! Divide it into individual cups and refrigerate for an easy protein-rich snack throughout the week.
