Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Mixture
- 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder (best gelatin for weight loss)
- ½ cup cold water (for blooming)
- ½ cup hot water (for dissolving)
Optional Additions
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional)
- Stevia or honey to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tbsp of unflavored gelatin over ½ cup cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes. This allows the gelatin to absorb the water and swell, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Dissolve the gelatin: Add ½ cup of hot water to the gelatin mixture and stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the liquid is clear.
- Add optional flavorings: Mix in lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or a natural sweetener like stevia or honey if desired to enhance the taste and provide additional health benefits.
- Set or serve: Enjoy the gelatin drink warm immediately or refrigerate it for 1–2 hours until it sets into a jelly-like consistency, depending on your preference.
- Consume before meals: Drink the gelatin 15–30 minutes before your largest meal of the day for best results in promoting satiety and supporting weight loss.
Notes
- Use grass-fed, unflavored gelatin for the cleanest texture and highest quality.
- Best consumed once daily before your largest meal to maximize appetite control.
- Try coffee or berry versions for variety and added flavor.
- For vegan diets, replace gelatin with 1 tsp agar-agar powder as a plant-based alternative.
