Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder (grass-fed preferred)
- ½ cup cold filtered water (for blooming gelatin)
- ½ cup warm water (not boiling, for dissolving gelatin)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it absorbs the liquid and forms a soft gel.
- Dissolve the gelatin: Warm the second ½ cup of water (but do not boil) and stir it into the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, resulting in a smooth and clear mixture.
- Add flavor: Stir in the lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to taste, which adds a mild zing and may support digestion.
- Chill the mixture (optional): Pour the gelatin mixture into a small dish or silicone molds and refrigerate for 2–3 hours until firm.
- Prepare servings: Cut the set gelatin into cubes and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Consume before meals: Take 1 to 3 cubes approximately 15 to 30 minutes before your largest meal of the day to promote fullness and mindful eating.

- Store gelatin cubes in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 4–5 days.
