serena williams gelatin trick

Recipe by Molina

A warm, tangy pre-meal satiety drink made from unflavored gelatin and a pinch of pink salt. This homemade version costs about thirty cents per serving and helps quiet hunger before eating.

  • Yield1 serving 1x
  • DietGluten Free

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder (about 7g)
  • 1 pinch pink salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for flavor)


Instructions

  1. Pour 1/2 cup of cold water into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the water. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to bloom (the gelatin will absorb the water and become a solid, rubbery mass).
  2. In a small saucepan, bring the remaining 1/2 cup of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not let it boil.
  3. Add the bloomed gelatin to the simmering water. Whisk constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is clear, about 1 minute.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in the pink salt and lemon juice if using.
  5. Pour the warm liquid into a mug and drink immediately, about 15-20 minutes before your meal.

Notes

Drink this 15-20 minutes before a meal for best satiety results. The pink salt adds electrolytes and enhances flavor. You can omit the lemon juice if you prefer a neutral taste. Do not let the water boil after adding gelatin, as high heat can break down the gelatin structure.
