Warning: Mixing Diets: This recipe is relatively low in calories, but be mindful of portion sizes. Eating too much of *anything*, even healthy jello, contributes to overall calorie intake. If you consistently consume more calories than you burn, your body will store the excess energy as fat through a process called lipogenesis, regardless of how ‘healthy’ the food seems.

Expert Tips

For a smoother jello, strain the passion fruit pulp to remove seeds. Add a squeeze of lime juice for extra tang. For weight loss, pre-portion the jello into individual cups to avoid overeating. Make sure to track your intake and stay consistent with your overall healthy eating habits.
