I have noticed that many Jelly's are sugar free.

I checked a coupe in Asda & there was next to zero carbs & sugar.

I am guessing these are safe to eat If you want to keep your sugars down.

Asda do their own at 33p each or you can get Hartley's at 74p for a two pack.

These are powder jelly's you mix with hot & cold water by the way.

Any thoughts ?
 
Sugar free jelly's are fine, plenty on here eat them, the ready made little pots of sugar free jelly are also ok to have x
 
Yes they are fine to use if the flavour isn't strong enough add some sugar free squash to it 🙂

I get the Hartleys sugar free jelly powder and make up my own pots - much cheaper than buying the ready-made ones! 🙂
 
Good to hear it's fine.

I make my own from the powder, don't buy the ready made pots.
 
Mmmm Jelly!
 
I bought a pack of 8 baby food containers with clip seal lids from the pound shop and I make 8 of these up on sunday for throughout the week.

I have NEVER been a sweet person (always savoury) but since being diagnosed I have had cravings for sweet things. I always buy the Hartleys, I find they taste fine, I've never had to add anything to them to enhance the taste (maybe a spoonful of greek yoghurt).
 
Bear in mind that they have artificial sweeteners (in the case of Hartleys it's Aspartame). THe Hartleys Strawberry is very tasty.
 
If you let the jelly half set then mix in a vanilla or plain yoghurt it sets like a mousse. Yummy.
 
Rarely have jelly...however, does anyone else still feel the urge to scwish it through their teeth? No? Just me then...🙂 oh dear.
 
Love jelly! The taste and feel of it! It's a delightful food! Takes me back to my childhood and Sunday treats..!
