Sugar Free Cinnamon Jelly

I'm really excited about this jelly!!

     While I love the Slim Belly Jelly from page 411 of Trim Healthy Mama , I was looking for a jelly that was a little more budget friendly as well as gave me a few different flavor profiles that were on plan.

   I have increased the amount of herbal teas that I use and love so many of them. There were a couple that I wasn't as fond of in a drink but they work amazing in this jelly. I use it with on plan toast, to make Cereal Bars from this post as well as in jelly style yogurt (page 252) and to top muffins in a mug as well as so many other recipes.

     Some of the benefits to using this jelly in your plan are:

• it is very budget friendly
• Gelatin has some amazing health benefits
• It is Sugar free and doesn't add a bunch of unneeded calories

     It takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes which includes the gelling time.

So here is the recipe:

Trim Mint Crispy Cereal {Low Carb, Sugar Free}

Raise your hand if Thin Mint cookies are your favorite…

They are mine too!! With cookie season right around the corner this cereal makes indulging in the flavor of our favorite cookie possible all year long FOR BREAKFAST!!

I've been missing cold crunchy cereal for breakfast, and let's face it some of the options just aren't nearly as fun as crispy minty chocolate cereal with some nice cold almond milk. I was looking to find a cereal that could be enjoyed in my Trim Healthy Mama journey as a fuel pull meal, and couldn't find one. Most of them contain nut or seed flours which aren't allowed during a fuel cycle, See Chapter 28 for more details about that. This is an S though because of the amount of coconut oil.
So I played with ingredients and here we go!!!

Sugar Free Royal Icing

Sugar Free Royal Icing

Printable Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 cups confectioners sweetener * (sifted)
• 5 tbsps egg whites (pasteurized)
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

  Using an electric mixer on low, combine confectioners' sweetener, sifted, egg whites, and cream of tartar; beat on high until icing is whipped and opaque, about 2 minutes.

 Thin with water as needed to make a stiff but spreadable icing.

 Confectioners' Sweetener

     Grind sweetener in a blender or coffee grinder.

Personally, I like to use eryithritol to make this icing as it is not quite as sweet as regular sugar and doesn't have an after taste.

I don't use xylitol in my home but because it is a 1:1 conversion with sugar it could also be used without a funky after taste, however please be aware that Xylitol is extremely toxic to household pets.
