1960 Knox Gelatine Diet Drinks - Recipe Archaeology 

Gelatin is the precursor of today's hyped collagen powders without the additional processing. Same nutritional benefits but gelling factor makes it harder to consume.

My mom would make liquid jello for me to drink when I was sick and didn't feel like eating anything. It was good, but then it was cherry flavored jello!

My dentist told me to drink it 3x a day for a week before oral surgery. It prevents too much bleeding and swelling.

Powered milk, few drops of vanilla. ICE COLD WATER. Mixed in a BLENDER *not* by hand. Immediately put in refrigerator.

We used to drink it for our nails in the 50's & 60's. It was gross but it worked!!! Getting past the grossness I guess depended on how bad we wanted long nails

Ladies, doing that was also supposed to make your fingernails grow stronger, according to ads in mags like Woman's Day & Family Circle

#Collagen

I used to drink this in orange juice to grow my nails. I neither grew long nails, nor did I lose weight.

I guess they kind of had the right idea. A lot of people use gelatin as a health supplement these days. It's just protein and it is soothing to the gut. Of course those modern day people are putting it in a lot nicer things than powdered milk and bullion! You are a couple of brave ladies!

I can remember doing something like this back in the 70's during Mom's Weight Watcher days. But she had a blender and would blitz the gelatin and liquid so it wasn't lumpy and it got frothy. Knox gelatin is so expensive now or I'd try this simply to help my arthritis. Miz Phyllis (Stokes) here on YT is making gelatin and finding that it is helping her joints.

Just found this randomly and died laughing x.x

This isn’t bad in COLD tomato juice with some tobasco. Add vodka and Jell-O shots? There’s nothing that could make powdered milk taste good!

Hilarious! It sounds like this might actually work as a diet aid, if only because you lose your appetite. 😂

Put in Coffee. The Gelatin melts into the coffee. I made Gelatin for the first time . I filled a mug half way full and put a table spoon of gelatin in. It didnt bloom up so I thought I made a mistake and so I put it in the frig. the next day it was Jello I scoop out a large chunk with a spoon and put in the coffee and it melted right in.

What's funny is that people who have swallowing issues and at risk for aspiration have to drink thickened liquids so the fluid doesn't go down the wrong pipe and cause aspiration pneumonia. This could be your futures in 40 or so years! Cheers!!

my grandmother drank these all the time.

hahahaha you are Cute!!!

My husband's parents served powered milk to their young family of 5 children to save money back in the 60s -70s. My father-in-law referred to the little lump of unmixed powder as "the mouse". He'd pour a round for the kiddos and ask....."who got the mouse"? The whole idea makes me shudder!

Would it work if you spinkled the gelatin on pizza?

What's the name of the cookbook?

You guys are hilarious.

Dr berg gelatin benefits

My grandma's diet drink of choice was Metamucil. She'd put the powder in broth, OJ, cranberry juice... So gritty.

the Music is so loud and the voices are too quiet.

The je latín is never going to set- up / solidify. Because your stomach temp would not allow it. Is just going to get metabolized 😊

Not fun watching these girls
