Description

A simple, low-calorie gelatin cube recipe designed to curb cravings and promote fullness before meals. This hack supports appetite control and digestion using protein-rich gelatin.


Ingredients

Scale

12 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder (or sugar-free flavored gelatin)

1 cup water, divided

12 teaspoons natural sweetener (optional)

¼ cup lemon juice or natural fruit juice (optional)

Small molds or ice-cube tray


Instructions

1. Pour ½ cup of water into a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin powder evenly on top. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

2. Heat the remaining ½ cup of water until hot but not boiling. Pour into the bloomed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved.

3. Add lemon juice or sweetener if using, and stir well.

4. Pour the mixture into molds or an ice-cube tray.

5. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours until fully set.

6. Once firm, remove cubes and store in a sealed container for up to 5 days.

7. Consume 1–2 cubes about 15–30 minutes before a meal to promote fullness and curb cravings.

Notes

For a flavored version, substitute water with sugar-free flavored Jell-O.

Use grass-fed or high-quality gelatin for maximum health benefits.

Pair the gelatin cubes with a glass of water to enhance their effectiveness.

Do not exceed 1–2 cubes daily to avoid digestive discomfort.

Vegan version: Replace gelatin with agar agar for a plant-based alternative.

Best results are seen when used consistently for 2–3 weeks before meals.
