Ingredients
  

Core Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored grass-fed gelatin powder approx. 10g (such as Great Lakes or Knox)
  • ½ cup warm water approx. 130°F (not boiling)
  • ½ cup cold water or unsweetened green tea chilled
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice optional for vitamin C & flavor
  • 1 splash unsweetened 100% cranberry juice optional, gives the viral pink color

Method
 

How to Make The Gelatin Trick Tonic
  1. Bloom and dissolve the gelatin: Pour ½ cup of warm water into a heat-safe glass or mug. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin powder slowly over the surface while whisking briskly with a small fork or milk frother until completely transparent with no lumps.
  2. Add cooling liquid & flavor: Pour in ½ cup of cold water (or unsweetened iced green tea). Add 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice and a splash of unsweetened cranberry juice for a refreshing tart flavor.
  3. Timing your consumption: Drink the mixture immediately while still warm and liquid, approximately 15 to 30 minutes before your largest meal (lunch or dinner). The gelatin protein expands comfortably in the stomach to signal natural satiety to your brain.
