Dr Oz Gelatin Recipe (Pink Gelatin Drink)
A tablespoon of unflavored gelatin bloomed in cold cranberry juice, then topped with hot water and stirred smooth. This is the base technique behind the viral "Dr Oz pink gelatin" trend — Snopes found no evidence Dr. Oz or Oprah ever endorsed it, but the drink itself is simple and safe to make at home.
Servings 1 mug
Cost $1
Equipment
- 1 Mug or glass
- 1 Spoon for stirring
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup 100% cranberry juice, unsweetened cold, for the pink color
- 1/2 cup hot water just off the boil
Instructions
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold cranberry juice in a mug and stir. Let it sit for a full minute so it blooms — it will look grainy and slightly thickened.
- Pour in the hot water and stir until the gelatin fully dissolves and the drink turns smooth and glossy.
- Drink within a few minutes, before a meal if that's your goal — it starts to gel again as it cools.
Notes
No verified Dr. Oz or Oprah endorsement exists for this trend (confirmed by Snopes) — this is just the honest, safe version of the technique being marketed under their names.
