These Healthy Jello shapes are perfect for Easter! Kids (and my husband) love them. They are super easy to make and make for a fun little treat. This recipe only requires 15 minutes of hands-on time and 4 hours to set.

What Makes This Recipe So Good?

  • First off, they are super simple to make!
  • Secondly, they are good for you! Unlike traditional jello, this recipe contains no hidden and processed ingredients. 
  • This recipe is naturally refined sugar free, paleo, gluten free, AIP, autoimmune protocol friendly and dairy free.
  • If you want to learn more about gelatin, check out my recipe about How To Make A Gelatin Egg.
  • These homemade jello cut outs are perfect for Easter. I love to make them with my Easter brunch.
  • With this recipe, you can either use homemade juice like my Carrot Apple Ginger Juice or you can buy store bought. Totally up to you!
  • You can prepare this recipe beforehand which makes it a great make ahead option for hosting around the Springtime Holidays.

Recipe Ingredients: 

  • Gelatin-I like this brand HERE. You can buy it in your local health foods store or you can buy it online. 
  • Fruit juice-You can make your own ( I am obsessed with this carrot ginger juice HERE) or you can buy store bought. Just make sure it doesn’t have any added sugars. 
  • Honey-This will give these homemade jello shapes a nice sweet flavor without any processed sugars. 

How To Make:

  • First, add one cup of your juice of choice to a bowl with the gelatin and continuously whisk.
  • Next, allow the jello mixture to sit for 3 minutes. This allows the gelatin to “blossom.”
  • Now, add the remaining juice into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Once the pan is removed from the heat, add the gelatin mixture with the optional sweetener to the saucepan and mix.
  • If you are using silicone molds, spray the molds with cooking spray oil. This will prevent the jello from sticking.
  • Now, add the jello mixture into the molds and store in the fridge for 4 hours to allow the jello to set.

What Should I Serve For This Recipe?

I love the idea of making these homemade healthy Easter jello shapes for Easter brunch. They would go great with:

  • Gluten Free French Toast Casserole
  • Oven Baked Turkey Bacon
  • Dairy Free Hollandaise Sauce
  • Banana Chia Pudding
  • Spinach Mushroom Frittata

What Kind Of Molds Should I Use?

  • I love these molds. 

How Do I Prevent The Jello From Sticking?

  • I love to take a paper towel that has a little bit of oil on it and rub it inside of the molds.

Is Gelatin Good For You?

  • Yes! Gelatin has an array of healthy benefits, from helping strengthen bones, ligaments, skin, hair. It is also really good for the gut. I add it to smoothies in place of protein powder. 

Chef’s Tips:

  • Be sure to oil the molds prior to using. This will prevent the jello from tearing!
  • If you do not want to use molds, you can use a casserole dish, but be sure to oil that as well prior to adding the jello.

Hi, I’m Allianna. In my junior year of college I turned to Sarah Ballantyne’s Paleo Protocol and it saved my life. During that time I completely shifted and started to manage my autoimmune disease with food and lifestyle. Since then I have made it my mission to share my clean and real food recipes with you. On Allianna’s Kitchen you can expect to find paleo, Whole30, and AIP recipes as well as things I have learned along the way as my body has healed. I’m so excited to have you here.
