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 cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom, allowing the gelatin granules to absorb the water and swell.
- Dissolve the Gelatin: Add ½ cup of hot water to the bloomed gelatin and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Flavorings: Mix in lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or a natural sweetener like stevia or honey if desired to enhance the taste.
- Set or Serve: Enjoy the drink warm immediately, or refrigerate it for 1–2 hours until it sets into a jelly-like texture as preferred.
- Consume Before Meals: Drink the gelatin mixture 15–30 minutes before your largest meal of the day to maximize its appetite-controlling effects.
Notes
- Use grass-fed, unflavored gelatin for the cleanest texture and best quality.
- Best consumed once daily before your largest meal for optimal weight loss support.
- Try variations like adding coffee or berry flavors for variety.
- For vegan diets, replace gelatin with 1 tsp agar-agar powder as a plant-based substitute.
