Description

A simple pre meal drink made with unflavored gelatin, hot water, and a splash of cold water or tea. It gently thickens in the stomach, supports satiety, and helps with natural portion control.


Ingredients

Scale

1 tbsp unflavored gelatin

1/2 cup hot water

1/2 cup cold water or chilled green tea

12 tsp lemon juice (optional)

Pinch of Himalayan pink salt (optional)


Instructions

1. Add the gelatin to the hot water and stir until fully clear.

2. Pour in the cold water or chilled green tea and mix well.

3. Add lemon juice or salt if desired.

4. Drink warm immediately or chill for 2–3 hours until softly set.

5. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–5 days.

Notes

Use only unflavored gelatin for proper gelling and fullness.

If clumps appear, your water may not be hot enough.

Drink 15–30 minutes before meals for best results.

Chilled cubes create a light, portable snack for appetite control.
