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 Add-ins
- 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 powder over ½ cup of cold water. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes until the gelatin absorbs the water and blooms into a thick, gel-like consistency.
- Dissolve the Gelatin: Add ½ cup of hot water to the bloomed gelatin. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Flavorings (Optional): Mix in 1 tsp of lemon juice, 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar, or a natural sweetener like stevia or honey if desired. This enhances the flavor and adds additional health benefits without adding many calories.
- Chill or Serve Warm: You can enjoy the mixture warm immediately or refrigerate it for 1–2 hours to allow it to set into a jelly-like texture, which can be a pleasant variation.
- Consume Before Meals: Drink or eat the gelatin mixture 15–30 minutes before your largest meal to help curb appetite and support weight loss efforts effectively.
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 benefits.
- Try adding coffee or berry flavors for tasty variety and different flavor profiles.
- For those following a vegan diet, replace gelatin with 1 tsp agar-agar powder as a plant-based alternative.
