Warning: Mixing Diets: Be mindful of portion sizes, especially if you’re on a low-carb diet. Overconsumption of even healthy carbs can contribute to lipogenesis, which is the process of converting excess carbohydrates into fat.

Expert Tips

For an even smoother texture, use a high-speed blender. To prevent the gelatin from clumping, make sure the nectarine puree is warm, but not boiling, when you add it. For weight loss, try intermittent fasting so you can enjoy dessert without guilt during your eating window.
