Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Mixture
- 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
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Stevia or honey to taste
Instructions
- Bloom the Gelatin: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin powder over ½ cup of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to absorb the water and bloom fully.
- Dissolve the Gelatin: Add ½ cup of hot water to the bloomed gelatin. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin completely dissolves, forming a smooth liquid without lumps.
- Add Flavorings: Incorporate 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, or a natural sweetener such as stevia or honey if desired. Mix well to combine all the flavors uniformly.
- Chill or Serve Warm: Enjoy the mixture warm immediately or refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours until it sets like jelly for a different texture experience.
- Consume Before Meals: For optimal weight loss results, drink this gelatin beverage 15 to 30 minutes before your largest meal of the day.
Notes
- Use grass-fed, unflavored gelatin for the cleanest texture and highest quality.
- Best consumed once daily prior to your largest meal to help with appetite control.
- For variety, try adding coffee or berry flavors to the gelatin drink.
- For vegan alternatives, replace gelatin with 1 teaspoon of agar-agar powder, which sets similarly but is plant-based.
