Ice Gelatin Trick

A simple at-home ritual combining gelatin with cold water or tea that promotes fullness and helps manage cravings before meals.

  • Flavorings (optional): lemon zest, vanilla extract, or fruit juice
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure and bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over cold water and letting it sit.
