Best Snacks - Healthy Low Calorie Snack Foods - Sugar Free Jello

Sugar free Jell-O is a great snack that will satisfy your sweet tooth and help you control overall calories for weight loss. Add some fruit like blueberries or apples to Jell-O and you have a great nutritious snack.

The gelatin in Jell-O is what lets you transform it into all sorts of different shapes. What exactly is gelatin? Gelatin is just a processed version of a structural protein called collagen that is found in many animals, including humans. Collagen actually makes up almost a third of all the protein in the human body. It is a big, fibrous molecule that makes skin, bones, and tendons both strong and somewhat elastic. As you get older, your body makes less collagen, and individual collagen fibers become crosslinked with each other. You might experience this as stiff joints (from less flexible tendons) or wrinkles (from loss of skin elasticity).
