Description
An easy, gut-friendly gelatin recipe inspired by Dr Mark Hyman’s food-as-medicine philosophy. Prepared with grass-fed gelatin, fresh lemon juice, and optional natural sweeteners, it is a clean, low-sugar snack that supports digestion and metabolic health.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon grass-fed unflavored gelatin powder
1 cup filtered water (divided: 1/2 cup cold, 1/2 cup hot)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1–2 teaspoons raw honey or monk fruit sweetener (optional)
Optional: a few drops of vanilla extract
Optional: thin fruit slices or fresh berries
Optional: herbal tea in place of water for added benefits
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin powder over 1/2 cup cold water. Let it bloom for 5–10 minutes.
2. Heat the remaining 1/2 cup water until very hot but not boiling. Pour it over the bloomed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved.
3. Stir in lemon juice and sweetener of choice. Add vanilla or fruit if desired. Taste and adjust.
4. Pour mixture into small jars, molds, or a shallow dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
5. Serve chilled, cut into cubes, scooped, or popped from molds. Ideal to enjoy before meals for satiety support.
Notes
Use high-quality grass-fed gelatin without additives. This inspired recipe is aligned with Dr. Hyman’s philosophy of healing through real food. Try with herbal teas or ACV for extra wellness benefits.
