Description
A simple warm morning drink using plain unflavored gelatin, lemon juice, and honey that curbs appetite and supports weight loss as part of a healthy daily routine.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon plain unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
8 oz warm water or herbal tea
1 teaspoon raw honey
Juice of half a lemon
Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
1. Pour 2 tablespoons cold water into your mug and sprinkle gelatin over it. Do not stir. Let bloom 2 minutes.
2. Heat 8 oz water or herbal tea to about 140°F.
3. Add lemon juice and honey to the warm liquid and stir.
4. Pour warm liquid over bloomed gelatin and stir continuously for 30–45 seconds until fully dissolved.
5. Add cinnamon if desired, stir, and drink warm within 10 minutes.
Notes
Drink 15–30 minutes before your first meal for best results.
Do not use boiling water — it breaks down gelatin structure.
Collagen peptides can substitute for gelatin and don’t require blooming.
Not suitable for strict fasting protocols due to protein content.
