    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.
