This 2-Ingredient High Protein Fluffy Jell-O Tastes Like an Orange Creamsicle
Create a thick and creamy protein Jello as a healthier, satisfying sweet snack to serve with fruit and whipped topping.
Here’s a high-protein snack hack worth trying!
Snacks are the little moments that hold our day together. What if your sweet snack could be both fun and functional? Check out easy high-protein Jell-O made with just two simple ingredients. All you need is your favorite Jell-O and some Greek yogurt. It is colorful, creamy, and packed with a little extra protein.
Does Jello have protein? Yes, Jell-O contains protein! It’s made from gelatin, which is a protein derived from animal collagen. The family-sized sugar-free Jell-O I am using here has 8 grams total.
Think of it as a mix between a mousse and a classic Jello cup. And yes, it is as delicious as it sounds. If you happen not to love the taste of Greek yogurt, try serving it mixed with Jell-O, as it takes on the sweeter fruit flavor of the Jell-O.

- Lime Jello with coconut yogurt gives tropical key lime vibes.
- Cherry Jello and lime yogurt will have a yummy, sweet and tart combination.

I know! It sure does look yummy! Hope you love it too if you decide to try it!
this looks fun & easy, just remember artificial dyes not good for certain kids, aspartame not my choice
My mom used to make a version of this with strawberry Jell-O and regular yogurt (back in the ’80s before Greek yogurt was a thing). Thanks for bringing back a nice memory–and this version sounds so refreshing! I love the protein upgrade too.
Love that this brought back a little nostalgia for you Beverly! The strawberry version does sound yummy! 🍓 Hoping you love this protein-boosted variation, if you decide to give it a try! 🤗
