Here’s a simple and healthy gummies recipe using real fruit and natural ingredients:
Healthy Homemade Gummies Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup 100% fruit juice (e.g., orange, apple, cherry, or berry blend — no added sugar)
2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
3 tbsp grass-fed gelatin powder (like Great Lakes or Vital Proteins)
Optional: 1/2 cup mashed fruit or pureed berries for texture and extra flavor
Optional: 1 tsp lemon juice (brightens flavor)
Instructions:
Prepare your molds:
Use silicone gummy molds or a small glass dish lined with parchment paper.
Warm the juice:
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the fruit juice (do not boil).
Add sweetener:
Stir in honey or maple syrup and lemon juice (if using) until dissolved.
Add gelatin:
Slowly sprinkle the gelatin over the warm juice, whisking constantly to prevent clumps. Keep stirring until fully dissolved (about 2–3 minutes).
Add fruit puree (optional):
Stir in mashed or pureed fruit if using.
Pour and chill:
Pour mixture into molds or the dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
Unmold and store:
Pop out of molds or cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Tips:
Use silicone molds shaped like bears or stars for fun kid-friendly gummies.
Try juice blends like mango-orange or blueberry-pomegranate for variety.
Add a pinch of turmeric or vitamin C powder for an extra boost.
