If you are looking for a snack that is sweet, filling, and surprisingly low in calories, you need to head to the refrigerated drinks section of 7-Eleven. Jele Beautie is a drinkable jelly that has become a staple for both locals and travelers in Thailand. But with so many colors and flavors, which one should you choose?
What is Jele Beautie?
Jele Beautie (เจเล่ บิวตี้) is a fruit juice jelly packaged in a convenient pouch with a straw-top. It’s designed as a “beauty snack,” meaning each flavor is infused with vitamins or supplements. It’s perfect for the Thai heat when you want something sweet but don’t want a heavy dessert.
Most Popular Flavors & Their Benefits
- Pink (Collagen – 1,000mg): The best-seller. It has a sweet strawberry/mixed berry flavor.
- Thai name: เจเล่ บิวตี้ คอลลาเจน
