Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of regular low-fat yogurt. You can also experiment with flavored jellos or try adding fresh fruit for extra flavor. If you want to make it a bit sweeter, a small drizzle of honey or agave syrup can be added, but keep in mind it will increase the sugar content. This dessert is a great low-calorie option and can be served alongside the Peachy Fruit Salad for a refreshing meal.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The jello will keep its texture well during storage. Avoid freezing as it can alter the consistency.
