Jelly based on agar-agar, if you add half the amount, turns out softer, and it is agar-agar that is best used when preparing jelly from strawberries whipped in a blender.

Let's look at each recipe separately, and you can choose which one you like best. There are many jelly recipes in the diabetes jelly section.

Jelly with fitparad

So, if you love delicious desserts, but don’t want to gain weight, then try the jelly recipe with fitparad. This natural sweetener is great for making dietary desserts.

200 grams of pumpkin. 100 grams of this product contains only 30 calories, but at the same time a lot of useful substances, as well as a lot of fiber. We clean the pumpkin, cut it into pieces and bake. Then beat in a blender.
70 ml milk. You can use regular skim milk, or you can use any vegetable milk. Oat milk goes well with pumpkin.
1 teaspoon gelatin. We will use gelatin as a thickener.
Fitness parade. According to your taste. But remember that this sweetener is indeed very sweet, so it is important not to add too much.
Any spices. You can use cinnamon or ground ginger.

First, pour the gelatin with milk and let it swell a little. Then we put it on the stove and, without bringing it to a boil, wait until it completely dissolves. Mix the resulting mixture with pumpkin puree, add spices to taste, sweetener and blend everything in a blender. Pour the pp jelly into the mold and put it in the refrigerator for several hours.

The benefits and harms of dessert

The beneficial properties of jelly are countless, and they are directly related to its composition. The dessert contains gelatin - an integral component of the delicious delicacy. This ingredient has a beneficial effect on the condition of hair, nails and joints, but, of course, with regular use.
Often gelatin in dessert is replaced with pectin or seaweed extract - agar-agar. These products are also beneficial for the body. Thus, pectin has the ability to remove radionuclides and heavy metal salts from the body, and agar-agar improves intestinal function.
In addition, the jelly contains various amino acids, for example, glycine, which is so necessary for the restoration of cartilage and damaged bones. In addition, this component is an excellent prevention against arthritis.
The only harm that jelly can cause is to cause tooth decay if the dessert is too sweet and you do not properly care for your teeth. But seriously, you can harm your body with this delicacy only if it is prepared from low-quality ingredients.
Therefore, if you do not prepare jelly yourself, but buy mixtures that only need to be diluted with water, then carefully study the composition of the product. It should be simple, without any unnecessary preservatives or dyes.

Curd PP jelly dietary

This dessert can be safely included in your diet even for dinner, because it contains very little fat and carbohydrates.

Before preparing the jelly, it is better to remove the cottage cheese from the refrigerator, as it should be at room temperature. 100 grams of cottage cheese contains only about 70 calories, but at the same time as much as 16 grams of protein!
7 grams of gelatin. This is about a heaping teaspoon!
50 ml water. We will dissolve gelatin in it.
Any sweetener to your taste. You can use honey.

Pour gelatin with water and put on fire. Without bringing to a boil, wait until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Then combine cottage cheese, sweetener and gelatin in a blender and beat everything thoroughly. Pour into molds and place in the refrigerator until completely thickened. This cottage cheese jelly will decorate not only the diet table.
