How to Make Healthy Jello

- MamaNatural.com 🔅 Do you know that jello can be a health food? Well, if you make it the mama natural way it can be :)
Do you know what makes jello gel? It's gelatin which comes from hides and bones of animals. I know, it sounds kinda scary but read on...
High in anti-inflammatory amino acids like glycine and proline, gelatin helps your nails and hair grow fast and strong, promotes restful sleep, improves memory and learning and even has antitumor properties!
The gelatonius nature helps soothe the intestional tract while assisting digestion.
I consumed lots of gelatin when I was pregnant and as a result didn't get any stretch marks or saggy skin. Woo hoo!
And, let's face it, eating Jello is FUN!
What's not so fun is the conventional jello on the marketplace. Filled with sugar, artificial flavoring and dyes, not to mention their gelatin comes from animals that are fed improper diets and given hormones. No thanks!
But, we can create our own jello and bring back all of the healing and medicinal properties while making it taste YUMMY.
Before you begin making, you're gonna need a high quality gelatin product. Knox gelatin at the store ain't gonna cut it.
You'll probably have to order online as there are only 2 brands I recommend... Bernard Jensen and Great Lakes. Both of these are hormone free, all natural bovine gelatin.
You're also gonna need some tasty fruit juice! Grape, orange, and cherry are all lovely flavors for jello. You can mix and match as you see fit or with what's in season. (NOTE: Do not use raw pineapple juice as the enzymes in the fruit will prevent the Jello from setting.)
Ingredients
2 cups of juice, preferable organic and freshly made or "not from concentrate."
2 TB of gelatin
Raw honey or stevia (optional)
Directions
Take 1/2 cup of your juice and put in sauce pan on low to medium heat.
Wait till the juice is hot and then add your 2 TB of gelatin.
Stir constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Turn off heat and let sit for 1-2 minutes.
Add the gelatin-juice mixture to your remaining 1 1/2 cups of juice.
Stir and taste. Add and mix in sweetener if you desire.
Pour mixture into a jello mold (any glass bowl will work... even ice cube trays!)
Put jello into refrigerator and let sit for at least 3-4 hours. Better to leave overnight.
Serve and ENJOY!

The fact that this video was made 12 years ago and people in 2024 are still watching this recipe is beautiful thanks for making this video
Thank you!
I love it that your little one says, “Yaaayy!! Yay!” Just too cute!!🥰
Thanks for the recipe, it was what I’m looking for💗 clear and straight to the point.
Thank you!
I loved this one.😊 Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
So easy. Love it. Thank you.🙂👍♥️
I bought 3pc of Mineola Tangelo orange squeezed them exactly 1 cup. 1 tablespoon of Bernard Jensen's gelatin. It was perfect. I didn't add any sugar just few dices of fuji apples. Thank you for this recipe - we loved it 😋
Great tip! Yum!
I made this. The jello was pretty hard. Next time I’ll add an extra cup of juice.
Good idea! You definitely have to play around with the recipe as environment may play a role in the end result.
Instead of that add tequila and enjoy
Same but I wouldn't say it was crazy hard. I got used to it. Also it's just more gelatin so even healthier!
Will definitely give this a go but with Agar as I worry about all the heavy metals in even organic animal bones. Thanks for posting
Hope it worked for you!! Thank you for watching and trying it out!
Word is that Mama Natural hasn't aged a day since this video was made. And the healthy gelatin consumption has played a part.
Bernhard Jensen...wow, that bought back childhood memories. Was a personal friend of me ma & a very nice man.. Put us on our health journey 50+ years ago before it was popular - (did i say 50 OK 60) ;) (plus). Nice vid. Thanks
Thanks for watching!! Love that it was nostalgic for you ♥️
I made some jigglers with fresh squeezed lemons. Yummy!
Awesome!!! Hope they’re delicious!
Did you add water too? or 100% lemon juice and gelatin?
Thanks for this video, gelatin is extremely healthy!
Thanks for sharing this ! Gonna try it
We hope it works well for you!
Thanks so much for this video! I used fruit punch for the jello, and it tasted amazing!
That DOES sound amazing!
Fruit punch is bad for your liver any juice loaded with sugar. I have a bad liver have done pluny of research stick with the jello you buy from the store
@mamanatural can u use lemonade
Delicious! Worked beautifully! New staple! ❤️❤️
So glad!
well this was better than the beef gelatin I read on another video wow.
Thanks for the recipe can you make this with any other juice, I don't have a great intoralance to orange juice,I was looking for a recipe for jelly,as you said alot of junk is in the store bought jelly,it's good for hair nails and skin,I'm in my sixty's now so I need that extra help greetings from dublin ireland Patricia obrien 🇮🇪
Love love your video, thank you!
You are so welcome!
Starting to use gelatin as a source of glycine as I believe the manufacturing process used for isolated amino acid supplements reduces their overall bioavailability.
That's a great idea!
I tried it with 1 32oz bottle of organic concord grape 🍇 juice & the gelatin formed clumps in the juice (I used 1 c. Liquid to heat up & add the gelatin to). 😔 I strained out the lumps that wouldn't blend in even when pushed against the side. I cleaned out the pot & added some of the strained liquid back into the pot & put it over low heat to warm the liquid & once warmed, I sprinkled 1 tsp more gelatin & whisked it in, it dissolved well & I strained that into the rest of the liquid & poured it into 8: 4oz. Molds & I'll let them cool slightly b4 putting them in the fridge.
I hope this comes out well. No one else seemed to have any trouble. I wonder if it's because of the humidity 🤔. S. Florida 🏝 ⚓ ⛵ 🏖 here.
Thanks for the recipe ❣🙋♀️
Humidity and weather can definitely impact the results! Stirring the gelatin in very slowly and allowing it to dissolve before adding more is key.
@@mamanatural
They came out really good. Now I know to sprinkle & stir the gelatin in 1 Tbsp. at a time & slowly. 🙆♀️👍 Thank you for replying 🌈❣ They even set up quickly too.
Thankyou for not making it confusing!! Click subscribe you'll be happy you did.
😍😍😍
I wonder, could you replace the juice with a smoothie? Or would that cause problems? Great video!
Thank you
Thanks. So simple.
You're welcome!
Does it have to be organic juice?
I want to use Swerve, the best sugar replacement ever invented.
Great idea!!! And how long it can be stored and should it be refrigerated?
It should be refrigerated and should be tossed as soon as it starts to appear watery/separated, usually 2-3 days.
Cute 🥰 Baby and Mama approved 😘
😍😍😍
Great recipe
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I made a watermelon one and it was pretty good. I decided to make a pineapple one and it never hardened. I have added more gelatin and more and more. Still in the fridge since yesterday today I added one more teaspoon. And if it doesn’t get hard I probably have to toss it… so sad😢 What happened ?
❤thanks
Looks great for a low cal dessert
It is!
Interesting...
I saw that the Great Lakes has a lot of sodium. Is there an other brand? That doesn’t have a lot of sodium
Hmmmm. It only has 35mg per serving which is 2% of daily value, so actually quite a low amount. I use Vital Proteins which has 30mg, so a little less.
Mam, can i use gaur gam to make jello?
You may be able to but it would probably require a different recipe 😉
Would it be good if it was made from chicken bones?
What about someone with diabetes? What juice is best?
Please check in with your provider to see what would be best for you.
Thanks ❤🇦🇺🙏
I loved your video, congratulations, a cordial greeting from Mexico City.
How did you get such great camera quality in 2012 lol
I just bought regular gelatin thinking it would be healthy :(
Can I use coconut milk?
You can always try but the fat content in the coconut milk may not respond well to it!
@@mamanatural I have done it!
I use 50% coconut milk and 50% coconut cream with organic gelatin. It works well.
Yes!!!!!!
This was made before I was born
Oh wow!! We’ve been around on UA-cam then for a while haven’t we?!
the cat waving in the back-
😉
Is it …… ok 👍 it’s sweet, u got juice in there
👍👍👍
This really has no comments?
Ok looks like im the first comment
Nice 😎😂
Thanks! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
And I am second :)
No your not this was ,made 9yrs ago
I personally do not recommend honey as a replacement for sugar, typically when people look for sugar replacements it's to help in weight loss while still eating their favorite recipes. And althought on paper, with honey being 1.5 times sweeter than raw sugar, you'd be able to use less of it and as a result have a smaller calorie intake from the sugar. That doesn't really make it a better option for weight loss as honey is mostly composed of fructose, and fructose isn't really much different than glucose but your body can only use glucose so it will have to transform the fructose into glucose in the liver; which in some cases makes fructose a prefered option for blood sugar levels.
But when it comes to weight loss it's not ideal because if you consume too much fructose, your liver won't be able to convert it all into glucose and will instead be forced to transform it straight into fat instead.
Another alternative sweetener that i think is great would be sucralose, sucralose is a disaccharide derivative which is 600 times sweeter than raw sugar and is also badly absorbed by the digestive system (so not only do you need to use 600 times less sucralose than you'd need sugar, but you'll also poop most of the calories straight back out), i'm aware that there were some concerns about sucralose a few years ago but all of these concerns have been laid to rest by further research and it's 100% safe for use
Stevia is another great option, but we aren’t talking about using honey as a sugar substitute for weight loss in this video ♥️ we’re suggesting it particularly as a more natural substitute for refined white sugar.
Actually not..the last study on sucralose says that it will affect your DNA..
The researchers found that sucralose causes DNA to break apart, putting people at risk for disease. They also linked sucralose to leaky gut syndrome, which means the lining of the intestines are worn down and become permeable. So not a good idea..
I'm not afraid about me I feel bad about the animals. Gelatine is not healthy even if it's coming from a healthy cow. There are other options to make jello
It’s true that there are other options for jello!
Gelatine is healthy and natural.
Please use metric like civilised people. Gelatin weights and ratios need precision
Is this how civilized people from wherever you're from ask for help? If you're not experienced enough to measure gelatin powder by volume, you say "please" and "thank you" when asking for someone else's help measuring it. Elementary kids know this, why not learn too? ❤
