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 Flavor Enhancers
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional)
- Stevia or honey to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Bloom Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin powder over ½ cup of cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes. This process hydrates the gelatin and prepares it for smooth dissolution.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Add ½ cup of hot water to the bloomed gelatin and stir thoroughly until the gelatin is fully dissolved, leaving a clear liquid.
- Add Flavorings: Mix in lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or natural sweeteners like stevia or honey if desired, to enhance the taste according to your preference.
- Set or Serve Warm: You can enjoy the gelatin drink warm right away or refrigerate it for 1–2 hours until it sets into a jelly-like consistency.
- Consume Before Meals: Drink the gelatin 15–30 minutes before your largest meal of the day to help increase satiety and aid digestion.
Notes
- Use grass-fed, unflavored gelatin for the cleanest texture and best nutritional quality.
- Best consumed once daily before your largest meal to optimize weight loss benefits.
- Try variations by adding coffee or berry flavors for a tasty twist.
- For vegan diets, replace gelatin with 1 teaspoon agar-agar powder as an alternative.
