Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Base
- 1 tbsp Unflavored gelatin (Grass-fed or Knox brand)
- ½ cup Warm water (not boiling)
- ½ cup Cold water
Additional Ingredients
- ¼ tsp Pink Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- ½ tsp Natural sweetener (Monk fruit or stevia, optional)
- ½ scoop Collagen powder (optional for extra protein)
- Lemon balm or berry extract (optional flavor booster)
Instructions
- Warm the Water: Heat ½ cup of water until it is warm but not boiling, ensuring the gelatin will bloom properly without clumps.
- Bloom the Gelatin: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the warm water surface and allow it to stand undisturbed for 2 minutes. This process hydrates the gelatin granules for a smooth texture.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Stir the bloomed gelatin thoroughly until it is completely dissolved and smooth.
- Mix Remaining Ingredients: Add ½ cup of cold water, pink Himalayan salt, lemon juice, and natural sweetener to the gelatin mixture. Whisk well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Portion Into Containers: Pour the prepared gelatin mixture into small glass jars or silicone molds for convenient servings and ease of chilling.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the jars for 3 to 4 hours until the gelatin sets firmly and achieves a gel-like consistency.
- Serve: Enjoy the bariatric gelatin chilled as a snack before meals or as a soothing bedtime treat to aid in fullness and recovery.
Notes
- Allowing the gelatin to bloom before stirring is crucial to avoid clumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Use grass-fed gelatin for higher quality protein and a cleaner taste.
- Enhance the flavor by adding lemon balm or berry extract as a natural flavor booster.
- Store the gelatin in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For additional hydration benefits, serve alongside the Pink Salt Weight Loss recipe.
