Dr Oz Pink Gelatin Recipe for Weight Loss and Craving Control Recipe
- Total Time: 2 hours 8 minutes
- Yield: 8 cubes 1x
- Diet: Low Calorie
Description
The Dr Oz Pink Gelatin Recipe is a simple, low-calorie, protein-rich snack made with just three ingredients: unsweetened cranberry juice, fresh lemon juice, and unflavored gelatin. This easy-to-make gelatin snack supports weight loss by curbing evening cravings, promoting satiety, and improving digestion. Perfect as a healthy dessert swap or nighttime treat, it offers gut health benefits and gentle hydration without added sugars or artificial ingredients.
Ingredients
Gelatin Mixture
- 1.5 cups unsweetened cranberry juice (100% pure, no cocktail)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (fresh-squeezed preferred)
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder (grass-fed or Knox recommended)
- Optional: A few drops of stevia or monk fruit sweetener to taste
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin: Pour the unsweetened cranberry juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom and thicken slightly, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Heat and dissolve: Place the saucepan over low heat and gently whisk the mixture until the gelatin fully dissolves. Make sure the liquid is warm but do not let it boil, as boiling can ruin the gelatin’s setting ability.
- Add lemon juice: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. This adds a fresh citrus flavor and a vitamin C boost to the gelatin.
- Pour into molds: Transfer the mixture into silicone molds or a glass container. Silicone molds are recommended for fun shapes and bite-sized cubes, but a glass dish works perfectly as well.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the gelatin for 2 to 3 hours or until fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve and store: Once set, cut the gelatin into cubes if using a glass dish, or pop the cubes out of the silicone mold. Store the gelatin cubes in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and enjoy as a healthy, satisfying snack.

- Avoid boiling the mixture as high heat will prevent the gelatin from setting properly.
- Always use 100% unsweetened cranberry juice to keep sugar content low and maintain the proper texture.
