Ingredients
3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder (preferably grass-fed)
3 cups cold water, divided
1 cup hot water (just simmered)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup erythritol or other natural sweetener, or to taste (optional)
2 cups fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over 1/2 cup of cold water. Allow it to 'bloom' for 5-10 minutes until it thickens.
Step 2: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a gentle simmer. Pour the hot water over the bloomed gelatin mixture and whisk continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is clear.
Step 3: Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and your preferred natural sweetener (if using) to the dissolved gelatin mixture. Whisk until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Step 4: Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cold water to cool down the mixture.
Step 5: Gently fold in the fresh mixed berries into the gelatin mixture, distributing them evenly.
Step 6: Pour the mixture carefully into individual serving dishes, ramekins, or a single large mold. Place in the refrigerator.
Step 7: Chill for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely set. The longer it chills, the firmer it will be. Serve cold and enjoy your healthy gelatin weight loss recipe!
Notes
For an extra protein boost, you can use unflavored collagen peptides instead of or in addition to gelatin, but note that collagen peptides do not always set as firmly as pure gelatin. Adjust sweetness to your preference, or omit sweetener entirely for a truly sugar-free option.
