Description
Enzo’s simple pre-meal gelatin drink (or chilled cubes) made with unflavored gelatin, lemon or ACV, and water. Designed to promote satiety, curb cravings, and support portion control when taken 15–30 minutes before meals.
Ingredients
1 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder
1/2 cup cold water (for blooming)
1/2 cup hot water (near boiling, for dissolving)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (ACV)
Optional: 1/2 tsp honey or a few drops liquid stevia
Optional: pinch Himalayan pink salt
Optional: replace water with unsweetened herbal tea (green, ginger, or chamomile)
For cubes (optional): small glass dish or silicone mold
Instructions
Add gelatin to the cold water and let it bloom 2–3 minutes until spongy.
Pour in the hot water and whisk until the gelatin fully dissolves and turns clear.
Stir in lemon juice or ACV; sweeten lightly with honey or stevia. Add a tiny pinch of pink salt if desired.
Choose your format: sip warm 15–30 minutes before a meal, or pour into a dish/mold.
Chill 1–2 hours until softly set. Cut into 8–10 cubes if using a dish.
Use once or twice daily before main meals for steady appetite control.
Notes
Stick to unflavored gelatin; avoid flavored Jell-O (added sugars and dyes).
Start with one serving daily; increase to two if it suits your routine.
Vegan option: use agar-agar (about 1 tsp powder per cup of liquid).
Flavor upgrades: herbal tea base, citrus zest, or a spoon of fruit purée.
This supports satiety and portion control; it does not replace balanced meals.
