HOMEMADE GUMMY BEARS ✨

recipe below, but COMMENT “GUMMIES” + i’ll send it straight to your inbox 🙌🏻

some gummy bears can contain 19 ingredients, including corn syrup, artificial colors and fake flavors. even the organic ones have around 13 and contain seed oils. so skip the store bought options + make your own with 3 simple ingredients!

YOU NEED

* 2 c juice of choice
* 3 scoops grass fed gelatin
* 1/8 c to 1/4 c honey (optional, you can add more or less to taste)

WHAT TO DO

- add juice to the pot
- sprinkle gelatin over the top and let bloom for a few minutes
- stir, add the honey + warm over medium heat until fully dissolved
- let it cool for about 15 minutes before adding to molds, making sure to stir occasionally
- set in the fridge for a couple of hours, then remove from molds + store in airtight container in the fridge

these last up to 2 weeks, but your kids will eat these much quicker!

a few tips:

- use organic juice with one ingredient (ie apple juice with just apples)
- avoid citrus as it can affect the gelatin
- if you don’t have molds, pour into a glass baking dish and cut into squares once set

health benefits:

in addition to being great for gut health, grass fed gelatin is good for your skin, supports your joints and helps with inflammation, metabolism, healthy brain function + sleep

PSA: SHRED YOUR OWN CHEESE 🧀✨

shredded cheese, grated parmesan + crumbled feta often contain an additive known as powdered cellulose

what is it?

a non digestible plant fiber, the most common source of which is wood pulp + it’s not good for gut health

so ditch the wood pulp and shred your own cheese. it not only removes unnecessary additives, it’s cheaper, melts perfectly + tastes better too 🧀🙌🏻

COMMENT “SHRED” + i’ll send you the stainless cheese grater attachment i use for my kitchenaid
