Store-bought Jello is loaded with sugar, artificial flavor, and artificial color, whereas this gets all its flavor from real fruit and veggies and is packed with vitamins and minerals. And I always use Agave, which is a natural sweetener.

We weren't allowed jello very often and my Mom never made it at home. She said it was unhealthy and full of sugar. So whenever we went out and I got the chance to eat jello, I went to town and green Jello was my fave! My kids always wonder why I never make jello and as you can guess, it's for the very same reasons.

🥘 Ingredients

If I'm going to serve them jello, it's going to be healthy! And that's why I make jello with fruit and vegetables in it. It's so tasty that they don't even notice it has spinach in it. And if they do notice, it's so good that they don't seem to care. They're just happy to have jello in the house that I actually let them eat!

For this easy recipe, you'll need these simple ingredients:

• orange juice
• baby spinach
• raspberries- fresh or frozen
• agave syrup - you can substitute honey, but you'll need to use double the amount
• vanilla extract
• unflavored gelatin

🔪Instructions

* Heads up! There is a 2 hour refrigeration (setting time). 

• Pour juice, spinach and raspberries into food processor. Blend until smooth.
• Pour berry mixture into a saucepan. Add in agave, vanilla, and gelatin packets.
• Heat over a medium heat until gelatin is completely dissolved (3 to 5 minutes).
• Line a 9X13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper. 

🌡️Storing

Store in the refrigerator, stacked between sheets of parchment paper, in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

📖 Variations

• Shapes: I cut them into hearts for Valentine's Day (or just because :).) but you can cut them into squares or any shape you desire.
• Molds: You can also pour these into shaped molds or ice cube trays.
• Fruit: You can use strawberries or blueberries instead of raspberries
• Juice - you can substitute another type of fruit juice if you don't have orange juice

🍽EQUIPMENT

You will need a food processor, a 9x13 baking sheet, and a cookie cutter (for whatever shapes) you want to cut these into for this healthy jello recipe. *See recipe card for equipment recommendation photos and links

I can't remember the last time I ate green jello and honestly have no desire to ever eat it again. However, I WILL eat this healthy homemade jello recipe.

I notice that my kids also go to town with the green Jell-O whenever we go to any kind of buffet or cafeteria. I just sit back, smile, let them enjoy this time in their lives, and remember my good ol' jello days!

So if you're tired of the sugar overload during Valentine's Day, and looking for jello that's healthy, without added sugar, and made with natural ingredients, then give these a try!
