Ben Greenfield's Healthy Jello Recipe (Crush Appetite Cravings, Gut Nourishing & Muscle Building!)

Oh, hello. I didn't see you there, standing in my kitchen like that. My name is Ben Greenfield. This is a new cooking show that you'll soon find on Netflix and wherever. Fine, fine cooking shows are found, I am sure. But I just thought I'd shoot you a little selfie video because I'm too dirt poor to afford a camera person, and I have a very, very important thing that I want to show you. Namely, I'm going to make my favorite recipe of the month. That's pretty good. The whole month, so bear with me. You need a pot. A pot.

What I'm going to show you is the best recipe ever to satiate your appetite at night to keep you from digging around in the freezer for ice cream. I don't have ice cream in my freezer. Don't look over there. And to build muscle to nourish the gut. It's a Swiss army knife of recipes. So we start by turning this little burner on. Gonna heat that up. All right. Heat up the pot. No, I'm just kidding. We're. Put something in it. All right. So normally I'd pour into this pot, like coconut water, bone broth, juice, you name it, whatever I've. I've dug around and found in my cupboard today. And no, this sponsor is. Or this. This. This cooking show is not sponsored by these bad boy. This is just like. I have a bunch of extra energy drinks in my pantry, so I'm gonna heat up these energy drinks. These ones are called Halo. They're like electrolytes, but they say stevia on them. S T E V I A, which, last I checked, means healthy. It has stevia in it. It's healthy. So I quit reading once I see stevia personally. So, again, like, I could do this with coconut water.

Bone broth. Coconut water.

Bone broth. Trying to think of another healthy beverage. Stevia flavored soda. Stevia flavored vegetable oil.

All of you, natural hippie dippy Paleo. I only eat it if it looks like it just grew out of a log in the forest. People eat your hearts out. Yeah, I'm opening canned energy drinks and pouring them into a pot. Overheat. But bear with me here. This could actually work. But I meant I might need more of these because I like to fill this pot pretty full. Because if I'm gonna make this stuff, I don't want to waste a lot of time, so.

Be right back.

I'm back. These are peach flavored, so this ought to be interesting. So anyways, I mean, he all this up six Cans. And the reason I like to use like something like all joking aside with the stevia thing, low calorie based drinks or even like coconut water versus like coconut milk or something really heavy is that this is meant to be like a low calorie appetite satiating thing. So I got six cans of these. Woohoo. There we go. Don't worry, my wife will clean those up later. Okay, next into the. Hope she didn't hear that. Into the pot is going to go some of these kion aminos. These things are like liquid gold. They're very expensive. They're very, very efficacious. For all the whole muscle building stuff. This is the mixed berry flavor which is going to taste great with the peach. We're making peach berry jello. But this stuff is like you got to be very careful and very precise with your dosing because this stuff is very expensive.

But I know the guy who owns the company.

So I'm using the whole canister. Okay. So.

Honestly the more aminos the better I have found for this recipe. So I just dumped yes, an entire canister of amino acids in. Now you'll need a good whisk. For this recipe I'm using a fine, fine whisk made by probably Amazon or.

What'S another kitchen company, Bed bath and beyond.

KitchenAid. It's a KitchenAid whisk. So buy your fine fine whisks from KitchenAid because they make only the best in all the land. They're vegetable oil free whisks and we've established that we don't want vegetable oil in our recipe unless it has stevia in it, then it's healthy. Okay, so I stir all those aminos in. Okay. But the aminos aren't going to thicken it up. That's going to turn it into like the hefty protein goodness of a protein shake. But before I get to the thing that's going to thicken it up, I want to show you the next step which is allulose. Allulose is a low calorie, zero calorie sweetener that's actually good for you. Actually lowers your blood sugar. The only side effects are.

Head cancer left nut shrinkage.

And it actually protects you against vaccinations. So now this video will get pulled from YouTube. Alright, so I'm going to put some allulose in there. I measure very precisely. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. That's how I measure by counting. I have a cookbook by the way. And that's why you need to trust me because I'm a chef.

I also have a medical clinic and I'm a doctor. All right, next we. We had. We take the really good stuff. This is gelatin, grass fed gelatin. They literally took this cute little gelatin baby out in the field and fed it grass. I'm just kidding. It's gelatin derived from grass fed grass finished cows. Meaning they actually killed the cows with grass. They literally, like, they take it out in the field and they poke it with grass. They finish it off with the grass. All these little sharp grass blades. It's grass finished. All right, now I'm gonna pour. I honestly kind of sort of measure this out, but I eyeball it. It's going to be about 10 teaspoons or so of gelatin, maybe more. But what you want to do is stir as you're adding the gelatin. I'm actually going to turn the burner down because you want to wait till the water is kind of hot before you start to add the gelatin. Then I just keep it on simmer while I add the gelatin. And you can see here, I just kind of slowly pour this powder in. And again, even though I was super duper duper precise with the dosing on my amino acids, I'm gonna be a little bit freewheeling with this gelatin and just kind of pour it in. I'll be honest with you, for a whole batch of this, I use about a half can of this gelatin. So it probably is a little bit more than 10 tablespoons. But the more gelatin, the thicker your jello is gonna be, which is great. So this is gonna be thick. Stick to your ribs. Peach jell o nighttime.

Snackage. But it's basically gonna have all the goodness of a whole thing of amino acids in there and then a whole bunch of gelatin. And again, you want to stir the whole time that you put the gelatin in so it doesn't clump too much. Okay, I think we've almost got enough in there. Go a little bit more, little bit more, little bit more. I mean, because the only side effect if you have too much gelatin is it kind of gets really thick. But I don't mind because everybody in my house hates this recipe except me, because I'm into, like, healthy stuff that's kind of weird. And the rest of my family eats really weird feed chicken and eggs and stuff like that. Who knows? So anyways, now that I've got this all kind of stirred in, it's heated up pretty much just those four ingredients. The liquid, the aminos, the gelatin, and the sweetener, like allulose. Or you could use monk fruit, or you could use stevia. I'll then take a Pyrex glass container like this, and I pour the entire mix into this container, and then I'm gonna put it into the freezer. And I put it into the freezer to set. This is totally gonna be a fail. I bet this will be like my big cooking fail. Either the glass container is not gonna be big enough or. Or something. Yeah, look at that. I made so much that I've got some leftover. But that's fine. I'll get another glass container. So this guy basically is going to go into fridge.

This leftover stuff is going to go into another container. I set it. If you put it in the freezer, it'll set faster, but I'll set it for, you know, basically overnight. And I got jello, baby. If you have questions, don't leave them, because I won't know how to answer them. But that's how I make my nighttime jello.
