Gelatin Snack with Nutrition

This is a snack I like to keep in the refrigerator.  It fills the bill when trying to bridge the hunger gap between meals or provides a light dessert after meals.  There are variations which make it interesting.

Ingredients: 

1 pkg. any flavor sugar-free gelatin (store brands have 0 carbs.  Name brands can have around 10.  Choose wisely)
1 cup boiling water
1 cup plain yogurt (I use Greek-style, which has 9 carbs per cup.)

Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water.  Stir or whisk until completely dissolved.  Add the yogurt and mix well again.  Divide into three portions and chill in refrigerator.  The carb count for one portion is 3 carbs.  You can add some whipped cream for an additional carb, if you want to.
