ATP Science NOWAY!® Protein Jelly — 16g Protein. 68 Calories. 0.1g Sugar. Make It Yourself.

NOWAY!® Protein Jelly is a make-at-home dessert jelly built on BODYBALANCE® hydrolysed collagen peptides — 72.9% protein by weight, meaning each 20.5g sachet delivers 16g of protein for just 68 calories. Effectively zero fat, 0.4g carbohydrate, 0.1g sugar. Mix with boiling water, set in the fridge, eat. Natural flavours, colours and sweeteners. No lactose, no casein. 10 sachets per pack. Available now at Payless Supplements.

The Macro Profile Is the Story

Look at the numbers: 16g protein, 68 calories, 0.1g sugar, 0.0g fat. That protein-to-calorie ratio — roughly 94% of calories from protein — is difficult to achieve in any food, let alone one that tastes like dessert. For anyone tracking macros, managing blood glucose, in a calorie deficit, or simply wanting a sweet option that doesn't cost them anything nutritionally, this is an unusually efficient product.

One reviewer describes it as the go-to fix for a 3pm sweet craving that's sweet, high-protein and doesn't derail the day. Another notes they and their partner have it after dinner as a sweet treat that doesn't raise blood sugar or insulin.

BODYBALANCE® — The Trademarked Collagen

The protein source is BODYBALANCE® hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides — a specific trademarked collagen peptide developed by German scientists and studied for body composition. Research on BODYBALANCE® shows collagen peptide supplementation combined with resistance training supports increases in fat-free mass and reductions in fat mass. Hydrolysed peptides are broken into short chains for rapid absorption.

Because it's collagen rather than whey, there's no lactose and no casein — which is why reviewers with dairy sensitivity find it sits comfortably. Collagen is also the primary structural protein in gut lining, joints, tendons and skin, so the protein you're eating supports more than just muscle.

How to Make It

Empty one sachet into a bowl or container. Add boiling water (boiling is important — it dissolves the gelatine and collagen properly) and stir until fully dissolved. Refrigerate for a few hours to set. It takes minutes of active time.

In a hurry? Put it in the freezer instead and it sets in under an hour. This is ATP Science's own tip and it works.

Ways People Actually Eat It

The jelly is versatile beyond eating it straight:

• With Greek yoghurt — the most common suggestion in reviews. Stir set jelly through yoghurt for a fuller, more filling dessert with more protein again.
• As a mousse — mix the liquid jelly with Greek yoghurt before setting for a lighter mousse texture.
• Mixed with protein water — one reviewer uses a splash of protein water instead of some of the plain water for an additional protein boost.
• Straight from the fridge — as a post-dinner dessert or afternoon snack.

Sweetened With Erythritol

Erythritol is a naturally derived sugar alcohol with essentially no caloric or glycaemic impact. It's used here in place of sugar to deliver sweetness without the carbohydrate load — which is why the sugar figure is 0.1g per serve. Erythritol is also one of the most gut-friendly sugar alcohols; it's largely absorbed in the small intestine before reaching the colon.

On the question of quantity: ATP Science note that erythritol sits at 11–13g per 100g in the formulation, which is well below the FSANZ threshold of 25g/100g that would require a laxative warning. That said, individual tolerance to sugar alcohols varies — if you're sensitive, moderate your intake accordingly.
