Notes
This Jello Recipe for Weight Loss is best made fresh if serving warm. For chilled cubes, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bloom the gelatin first for the smoothest texture, use hot liquid instead of boiling liquid, and keep chilled gelatin covered so it does not pick up fridge smells.
