Description
A simple, protein-rich gelatin recipe designed to curb cravings, improve fullness, and fit seamlessly into any healthy eating plan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 cup water, divided
- Optional: 1 tsp honey or a zero-calorie sweetener
- Optional flavor additions: lemon juice, berry puree, or unsweetened tea
Instructions
- Add 1/2 cup of cold water to a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin across the surface. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to “bloom.”
- Warm the remaining 1/2 cup of water on the stove or in the microwave until hot (not boiling).
- Pour the hot water into the bloomed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved.
- Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes — this step improves firmness and makes the gelatin more satisfying.
- Add sweetener or natural flavor if you’d like.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm.
- Scoop or cut into cubes and enjoy before a meal or when cravings hit.
Notes
Letting the gelatin mixture rest after dissolving helps create a smoother, more filling texture. Customize with juice, herbal tea, or Greek yogurt for variety.
