Ingredients for Healthy Sugar Free Jello
To make this refreshing jello, gather these simple ingredients:
- 4 cups water
- 8 tablespoons Grass Fed Beef Gelatin
- 1 tablespoon KetoChow electrolytes (e.g., Groovy Grapefruit)
- Optional: 1/2-1 teaspoon Berry liquid Stevia Sweetener, natural food coloring, fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)

Feel free to get creative! Adding different flavors or colors can make your jello even more enjoyable. Fresh fruit or natural sweeteners can enhance both the taste and visual appeal.
Instructions for Making Sugar Free Jello
Step 1: Blooming the Gelatin
Start by adding the water to a pot. Sprinkle the gelatin over the surface and let it sit for about 5 minutes. This step, known as blooming, helps the gelatin dissolve better.
Step 2: Heating and Dissolving
Next, heat the pot over medium heat. Stir the mixture gently until it begins to boil, ensuring the gelatin is fully dissolved. The aroma of the warm water will already entice your senses!
Step 3: Adding Electrolytes and Flavorings
Once removed from heat, stir in the electrolytes and any optional ingredients. If you’d like to sweeten your jello, now’s the time to adjust the flavor with your desired amount of sweetener.
Step 4: Pouring and Setting
Pour the gelatin mixture into serving glasses or silicone molds. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until completely set. The anticipation of that first spoonful makes the wait worthwhile!
Tips for the Best Sugar Free Jello
Storing Your Jello
Store any leftover sugar-free jello in glass containers or molds, covered, in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for 7 to 10 days, making it an excellent make-ahead treat.
Using Fresh Fruit for Flavor
Incorporating fresh fruit adds a burst of flavor, but be aware that it will increase the carbohydrate content. For best results, strain the fruit to use only the juice.
Alternatives to Electrolytes
If you don’t have KetoChow electrolytes, you can use another flavor or simply omit them. Just remember to add sweetness to enhance the taste!
