How to Make protein gelatin recipe
- Using a liquid measuring cup, measure out ¼ cup of cool water and pour it into a microwave-safe glass bowl. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the water using a measuring spoon to avoid clumping. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to bloom, during which it will resemble runny applesauce.
- Place the bloomed gelatin in the microwave and heat for exactly 5 seconds to liquify it. Use a silicone spatula to check if the gelatin appears clear and fully liquid; if not, microwave for an additional 3-5 seconds. Be cautious not to overheat, this will prevent the gelatin from setting properly.
- Pour the room-temperature PWR Lift and Greek yogurt into the bowl with the liquified gelatin. Using a whisk, thoroughly combine the ingredients until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Divide the mixture equally between two 12-oz glass bowls or glasses using a measuring cup or ladle for even portions. Place the bowls in the refrigerator and chill for 4 hours or until the mixture is firm to the touch.
- If desired, use a spoon to add toppings such as whipped cream, berries, additional yogurt to the chilled gelatin mixture before serving.
