See, the molds (and thank you very much for them, [livejournal.com profile] unzeugmatic) are just standard apricot or peach Jell-O with suspended blueberries and strawberries. We had leftover apricot mixture for garnish, and as we were beating it, we decided to experiment with a secret ingredient that was already fluffing up our smoothies every morning: whey protein. It worked. The jello set into a beautiful airy light merengue-like fluff with a whimsical fake-apricot flavor.

High protein dessert fluff. Anabolic Jell-O. Imagine, after a workout, your choice is to drink a chalky or lumpy whey protein shake, or grab a spoon and indulge in dessert, and still get your post-workout protein.

I must tell the world!

I must find out how to do this. Seriously...considering how much I hate most protein sources, this sounds like something I could deal with. Especially in the AM when I find it hard to choke down any protein source.

Can I have your recipe?

1 package Jell-O ™ brand gelatin dessert, any flavor
1 cup boiling water
1 cup ice
1 scoop American Whey ™ brand whey protein powder

Stir boiling water into Jell-O until dissolved. Add ice and stir until Jell-O is the consistency of unbeaten eggwhites. Beat Jell-O until fluffy. Add whey powder, and continue beating until Jell-O stands in medium peaks.

Chill briefly, and beat again to stiff peaks. Spoon as garnish to your favorite dessert, or enjoy as a refreshing high-protein snack.

Think it matters if it's the real stuff or the sugar free stuff?

I haven't tried sugar free, but I shouldn't think it would make any difference.

What's scary is how these pictures look like they could come from the set of a new B movie, set in the land of the giant jellyfish....

It looks like....

A friend makes up a special lube mix for his handball parties:
- non-crisco shortening
- j-lube
- small amount vanilla
- small amount of lidocaine liquid, usually anbesol

The Anbesol has a strong red dye in it and when mixed in, gives a very very very light pinkish/tan color to the mix. Kinda like what you see here.

What's the vanilla for? Vanilla handballing?
