FAQs

Can I use flavored gelatin instead of unflavored powder?

Unflavored gelatin is recommended to avoid added sugars and artificial ingredients, but you can use flavored gelatin if you prefer, keeping in mind it might affect sweetness and flavor balance.

Is it necessary to refrigerate the gelatin before eating?

Yes, refrigeration is important to allow the gelatin to set firmly. Eating it before it sets will result in a liquid consistency rather than a gelled snack.

Gelatin Mixture

• 1 cup water (divided: 1/2 cup cold, 1/2 cup hot)
• 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
• 1 teaspoon honey or zero-calorie sweetener (such as stevia)
• Few drops of vanilla or lemon juice
• Optional: pinch of pink Himalayan salt

Instructions

1. Bloom the Gelatin: Pour 1/2 cup of cold water into a bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 1 minute to allow the gelatin to absorb the water and bloom.
2. Dissolve the Gelatin: Add 1/2 cup of hot water to the bloomed gelatin and stir thoroughly until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
3. Add Flavor and Sweetener: Stir in your chosen sweetener—either honey or a zero-calorie alternative like stevia—along with a few drops of vanilla or lemon juice to enhance the flavor profile.
4. Optional Salt Addition: If desired, add a pinch of pink Himalayan salt, which can help with hydration and adds a subtle complexity to the taste.
5. Set the Gelatin: Pour the gelatin mixture into a dish, silicone mold, or cup, depending on your preference for shape and serving.
6. Refrigerate: Place the gelatin in the refrigerator and chill until it firms up, which generally takes about 2 hours but can be left overnight for convenience.
7. Consume Before Bed: Eat the set gelatin 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime to help reduce nighttime hunger and promote restful sleep.

Notes

• Use plain, grass-fed gelatin for the highest quality and best health benefits.
• You can also opt to stir the gelatin mixture into warm beverages like tea or milk to create a soothing bedtime drink alternative.
