Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin powder over ½ cup of cold water. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to absorb the water and bloom, which activates the gelatin’s thickening properties.
- Dissolve the gelatin: Add ½ cup of hot water to the bloomed gelatin mixture. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the liquid is smooth without any lumps.
- Add optional flavorings: Stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, or a natural sweetener like stevia or honey according to your preference. These additions can enhance flavor and offer additional digestive benefits.
- Serve warm or chilled: Enjoy the gelatin mixture warm immediately, or refrigerate it for 1 to 2 hours so it sets into a jelly-like consistency for an alternative texture.
- Consume before meals: Drink the prepared gelatin 15 to 30 minutes before your largest meals to help increase satiety, support digestion, and contribute to weight loss efforts.
Notes
- Use grass-fed, unflavored gelatin for the cleanest texture and highest quality.
- It is best to consume this gelatin drink once daily before your largest meal for optimal results.
- Try experimenting with coffee or berry flavor versions for variety and taste.
- If following a vegan diet, replace gelatin with 1 teaspoon of agar-agar powder as a plant-based alternative.
