Description
A 4-ingredient gelatin weight loss drink with apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and pink Himalayan salt. Ready in under 5 minutes. Drink 20 to 30 minutes before your largest meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water (100°F to 120°F — not boiling)
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder (Knox or grass-fed brand)
- 1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
- 1 pinch pink Himalayan salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
- 1/2 teaspoon raw honey (optional — for mild sweetness)
Instructions
- 1. Pour 1 cup of warm water into a glass. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin powder onto the surface. Do not stir. Let it bloom for 60 seconds.
- 2. Stir firmly with a spoon for 30 to 45 seconds until the liquid is translucent and no powder granules remain.
- 3. Add 1 tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar. Stir for 15 seconds. The liquid will turn slightly cloudy — this is normal.
- 4. Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of pink Himalayan salt. Stir for 10 seconds.
- 5. Drink immediately while warm, or refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes for a cold slightly thickened version. Consume 20 to 30 minutes before your largest meal.
Notes
- Storage: Best consumed fresh. If refrigerated, drink within 24 hours before it fully sets into a firm gel.
- Substitution: Raw honey can replace pink salt if you prefer a sweeter version, though this adds 15 to 20 calories.
- Gelatin tip: Use only unflavored gelatin powder. Flavored Jell-O packets contain sugar and additives that change the recipe entirely.
- Halal note: Choose certified halal gelatin such as Great Lakes Wellness or Zint for halal-conscious preparation.
- Temperature tip: Water above 140°F partially denatures the gelatin protein. Always use warm, not boiling, water.
