These Low Calorie Marshmallows are just 11 calories and so much fun to make! I have supplied you with two different ways to make these healthy marshmallows, with my favorite all-natural sweetener (so they are sugar free) or with regular white sugar (spoiler, they are still super low in calories!!)

Ingredients You’ll Need:

2 cups water
⅓ cup unflavored gelatin powder
⅔ cup All-Natural Zero Calorie Sugar (see recipe card)
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup All-Natural Zero Calorie Powdered Sugar (see recipe card)

These Low Calorie Marshmallows are just 11 calories and so fun to make!

I used my favorite all-natural zero calorie sweetener to make these, but if you wanted to make them with regular white sugar and regular powdered sugar, they would still be just 35 calories!

Special Tip: I like to use kitchen scissors to cut these healthy marshmallows out, but you could use a knife too. If you wet the blade it won't stick as much, making cutting much easier.
