4 Ingredient Natural GLP-1 Drink
A simple 4-ingredient blended drink made with psyllium husk, green banana, Ceylon cinnamon, and fresh lemon that naturally supports GLP-1 hormone production to reduce hunger before meals. Ready in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 piece green banana (unripe, still firm and green)
- 1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder (unflavored)
- 1/4 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon Use genuine Ceylon cinnamon for the best flavor.
- 1/2 lemon fresh lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon) Fresh lemon juice is preferred for flavor.
- 1.5 cups cold water
Optional Add-Ins
- 1 teaspoon raw honey Optional, for sweetness.
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger Optional, for additional flavor and digestive benefit.
- a small pinch pink Himalayan salt Optional, for electrolyte enhancement.
Instructions
Preparation
- Pour 1.5 cups of cold water into a blender. Add 1 teaspoon of psyllium husk powder and let it sit in the water for 60 seconds to begin hydrating.
- Peel half a green banana and break it into chunks. Add them to the blender along with the lemon juice and Ceylon cinnamon.
- If using, add honey, ginger, or salt.
- Blend on medium-high for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth. The texture should be slightly thicker than water but thinner than a smoothie.
- Drink immediately within 5 to 10 minutes -- psyllium gel thickens over time. Chase with a full additional glass of water.
- Best consumed 20 to 30 minutes before your first meal of the day.
Notes
Always use a genuinely green, unripe banana. Start with 1/2 teaspoon of psyllium for the first week if you're new to high-fiber drinks. Drink within 5 to 10 minutes of blending as it thickens significantly. Frozen green banana chunks work great and keep the drink cold.
