Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted on the blog. I’ve definitely needed a bit of a break to relax and spend time with friends and family. To celebrate my return I have a delicious dessert recipe for you! Strawberry season is in full force here in South Carolina and I’ve been looking for ways to use up all of the strawberries from my CSA. While browsing through Pinterest I came across a neat looking strawberry jello recipe, but unfortunately it wasn’t paleo or low carb. I decided to make a dairy free and real food version that would have all of the gut heating benefits of grassfed gelatin plus the deliciously ripe strawberries.
If you’re looking for more gelatin desserts check out my friend Caitlin’s awesome ebook full of gelatin desserts, called Easy Paleo Gelatin Treats (you can find the ebook here). It has 30 treat recipes to make it easy to get the nutritious benefits of grassfed gelatin in your diet.
