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 tbsp of unflavored gelatin over ½ cup of cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes. This allows the gelatin granules to absorb the water and swell, a process called blooming.
- Dissolve the Gelatin: Add ½ cup of hot water to the bloomed gelatin and stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved, ensuring a smooth mixture without lumps.
- Add Flavorings: Mix in 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, or a natural sweetener such as stevia or honey if desired to enhance taste and potential health benefits.
- Serve or Chill: You can enjoy the mixture warm immediately, or refrigerate it for 1–2 hours until it sets into a jelly-like consistency for a different texture experience.
- Consume Before Meals: Drink this gelatin mixture 15–30 minutes before your largest meal of the day to help increase satiety and aid weight loss efforts.
Notes
- Use grass-fed, unflavored gelatin for the cleanest texture and best quality.
- Best consumed once daily before your largest meal to maximize weight loss benefits.
- Try adding coffee or berry flavors for a tasty variety.
- For vegan diets, replace gelatin with 1 tsp agar-agar powder as a plant-based alternative.
