In a Pyrex measuring container, microwave 2 cups tap water until it comes to a boil.
Remove from microwave and slowly add sugar-free gelatin to the boiling water, while stirring continuously. Stir until powder is completely dissolved. Pour into a bowl.
In a shaker cup add the 2-1/4 cups cold water, whey protein and unflavored gelatin powder. Shake well until there are no lumps or particles.
Slowly add shaker contents to the strawberry gelatin mixture. Stir while adding.
Pour into a 9” x 13” pan. Cover and refrigerate until firm. Cut into 48 cubes and divide into 8 equal servings

Some gelatins contain phosphate additives and may not be recommended, especially if phosphorus control is an issue. Check labels and ingredients. Unflavored gelatin and fruit juice makes a good substitute.
Check the ingredients on whey protein and look for brands that do not contain phosphate additives. Protein content will vary between brands.
For more calories substitute regular instead of sugar-free gelatin.
