Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Base
- 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
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Stevia or honey to taste
Instructions
- Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tbsp of unflavored gelatin over ½ cup of cold water. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes so the gelatin can absorb the water and bloom.
- Dissolve the Gelatin: Add ½ cup of hot water to the bloomed gelatin and stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved, forming a clear liquid.
- Add Flavors: Mix in 1 tsp of lemon juice, 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar, or a natural sweetener such as stevia or honey if desired, to enhance the taste.
- Set or Serve Warm: You can enjoy this drink warm immediately, or refrigerate it for 1–2 hours until it sets into a jelly-like consistency for a different texture.
- Consume Before Meals: Drink this gelatin preparation 15–30 minutes before your largest meal each day to help promote fullness and support weight loss efforts.
Notes
- Use grass-fed, unflavored gelatin for the cleanest texture and best quality.
- Best consumed once daily before your largest meal for optimal results.
- Experiment with coffee or berry flavor variations for added variety.
- For vegan diets, replace gelatin with 1 tsp of agar-agar powder as a suitable plant-based alternative.
