Dessert no sugar added

Some folk love smoothies, I like to add gelatin, to give it a pudding effect. 
Gelatin is primarily composed of collagen, a protein that can aid in muscle repair and joint health. Low in calories, It's been touted improve skin health, scalp and even help strengthen your gut lining.
Strawberries, apples and a pear, liquified. 
Next will be coconut Jello shots by adding amaretto and brandy.
Most gelatin comes from boiling pigs and cattle bones, so this is not vegetarian
