Homemade Healthy Winter Jello

Recently I had a stomach virus and I was in bed for a few days, yuck 🙁 As soon as I started feeling a bit better I started craving jello. I was dying to taste a fruity, berry or orange cool dessert and asked my husband to get me some as soon as possible. He rushed to the store and brought me four-pack of fruit jello. To tell you the truth, I do not buy things like desserts and puddings. You know me, I cook everything myself from scratch and use ingredients as natural and as organic as possible. But in the situation when you are sick and you want something, it does not matter what you get, because it has been now.

I opened my jello pack and tried one teaspoon. OMG, what are they feeding us? It was so artificial, so chemical and over-sweetened, I was horrified! When I start feeling better first thing I made was homemade delicious jello with fresh juice and organic berries. What a difference! My kids were extremely happy, I have even whipped a bit of fresh cream for the top. It is simple and healthy, full of vitamins, please make it for your little ones.
