Description
This Jillian Michaels gelatin weight loss recipe turns simple unflavored gelatin into a low calorie pre meal drink that helps you feel fuller and curb snacking.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
1/2 cup hot water, just off a boil
1/2 cup unsweetened cranberry juice or apple juice
1/2 to 1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar, with the mother
1 teaspoon lemon juice, optional
Pinch non caloric sweetener such as stevia, optional
Ice cubes, optional, to cool if desired
Instructions
1. Pour 1/4 cup of the cold unsweetened juice into a heat safe mug or small bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the top. Let it sit 3 to 5 minutes until the surface looks wrinkled and thick.
2. Heat 1/2 cup of water until steaming but not rapidly boiling, then slowly whisk it into the bloomed gelatin until there are no visible grains and the liquid looks clear and slightly syrupy.
3. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup unsweetened juice, the raw apple cider vinegar, and optional lemon juice or sweetener, tasting and adjusting the tanginess to your liking.
4. For a warm drink, let the mixture cool until comfortably warm and sip it slowly 15 to 30 minutes before your meal. For cubes, pour the mixture into a small glass dish and chill until firm.
5. Once set, cut the gelatin into small cubes and eat 2 to 4 cubes 15 to 30 minutes before meals, paying attention to how full you feel and adjusting your portions and frequency over time.
Notes
Storage: Keep the drink or cubes covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir or gently loosen the cubes before serving.
Substitution tip: Use plain water or herbal tea plus lemon instead of juice for a lower calorie version, and keep sweetener very light if you are following a low sugar or bariatric plan.
