Cranberry Juice Gelatin Cutouts
Many kids enjoy gelatin as a snack or a treat. To add extra nutrients to gelatin, try using 100% cranberry juice in place of water to make gelatin cutouts. As you can see in the picture, you can make it more fun by using cookie cutters to create shapes. For a festive and tasty low calorie treat, make Cranberry Juice Gelatin Cutouts this holiday season. To add a little more power (aka nutrients) to your diet, try:
- Applesauce or 100% juice* in place of water to make gelatin.
- Combine fruit or veggies with non-fat or low-fat milk for a delicious smoothie.
- Top cereal with fruit.
