Bariatric Gelatin for Weight Loss

A simple, spoonable gelatin preparation designed for weight control, ideal for those recovering from bariatric surgery or seeking low-calorie snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 3/4 cup hot water
  • 1/4 cup cold water or chilled tea
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons protein powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon zero-calorie sweetener or sugar (to taste)
  • Natural flavoring (e.g., vanilla extract, citrus zest, or unsweetened cocoa)

Instructions

  1. Measure and bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Heat water to near boiling and remove from heat.
  3. Dissolve the gelatin by pouring hot water over bloomed gelatin and stir until smooth.
  4. Add sweetener and protein powder, whisking to combine.
  5. Chill to set for at least 1.5 to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  6. Serve cold and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

For quicker chilling, use shallow molds. If the gel is too firm, reduce gelatin next time; if too loose, add a bit more gelatin.
