Yes, it is some thick and nasty stuff, like drinking cottage cheese or something. I mixed it in a smoothie in the morning with a banana and pineapple or other fruit juice.
Skrimpy, awesome idea! My kids are all about good old classic Jello with fruit chunks mixed in....we like to see what crazy combos we can come up with. My fave is lime jello with red cherry chunks in it (real cherries, too, not the icky marachino ones).
Feel free - always happy to share :D I could easily eat all the sauce myself, too... though I try to share with the family :p It's a good way to use gelatin, and I think it helps the sauce. Plus it also really helps me get meat (and thus protein) down when I'm pregnant and don't care for the texture of meat as much.Quote:

So, are the ****s of jello good? I'm sure I could manage to eat a couple of those a day, all in a good cause of course :)
I think jello is good, but it's a love/hate thing with most people. Is that not a staple kids/old person food in UK? :rofl: You can't go in a school cafeteria or hospital in the USA and not find some jello! Like AS said, you'd have to eat a whole batch of it (like a batch of brownies amount) to get what you get in mixing one packet in some juice, but hey, it's cheap and fun for kids to make and eat!
Whoa!! Tha's alot of jello! I'll have to see if my Granny's got any in her cupboard:bigsmile:
Yea, you'd be working on that tray of jello for a WHILE! I bought some peach kind last night and am going to chop up some peaches and put them in there, seems like a groovy combo. :bigsmile:
At the very least, you know that it's a boy-friendly dessert that you can make for the whole family! Try it with bananas in it!!Quote:

I use pineapple juice and it's actually pretty yummy, just be sure to stir, stir, stir till all the gelatin dissolves or you get a tasteless chewy layer in the bottom of the cup.
