Warning: Mixing Diets: This recipe is naturally low in fat. Be mindful if you are eating it with other high-carb foods. When your body has more carbohydrates than it needs for energy, it stores the excess as glycogen and fat. This conversion is called lipogenesis. While this gelatin is healthy, moderation and balance are key!

Expert Tips

For an extra smooth texture, strain the blueberry mixture before adding the gelatin. When trying to lose weight, focus on adding volume to your meals with fruits and vegetables. They’re low in calories and high in fiber, which helps you feel full and satisfied. Prepare the gelatin in individual containers to avoid overeating.

Macros Breakdown

This recipe is primarily carbohydrates and protein, with very little fat. The protein comes from the collagen, which is great for joint health. Keep in mind that excess carbohydrates, even from fruit, can contribute to lipogenesis if your overall calorie intake is excessive.
