    I'm not sure when is the best time to drink it, but I manage to swallow only 1 glass a day No way I could do it 3 times....
    But what really makes me sick is BSD

    Wow, taking it on an empty stomach, that's brave LOL!

    I couldn't find any info on this, but for best protein digestion, you should eat your protein with some acids, so I would think that gelatin would also be best digested with acids. So you could do gelatin drink with lemon water or ACV and it may help.

    I agree with you girls,gelatin is nasty n stinks.What I did was to dissolve it in a little hot water and mixed it with two whole lemons squeezed to make my lemon drink,that way I could stomach it. I used the knox powder in tin that foodservice use,that was cheaper for me cos of how much I was taking.GL,HTH.

    LOL ZB that drink does sound horrid!

    Maryam yours sounds good ... I too used the Knox and just mixed it in pineapple juice and chugged it. I figured the juice covered some carbs to go with the protein in the gelatin.

    Ohh this sounds like a great idea. Do you the gelatin and fruit drink could be used as a snack or is it additional to snacks?
