Ingredients
  • Blueberry:
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • juice of 1 lemon or lime
  • 1 cup of water
  • 3-4 tbsp grass fed gelatin
  • optional: 1 packet of stevia or 1 tbsp raw honey
  • Strawberry-Orange:
  • ½ lb strawberries, diced
  • ½ cup fresh squeezed OJ
  • 3-4 tbsp grass fed gelatin
  • Chocolate Almond Milk:
  • 1.5 cups Chocolate Almond Milk - Add extra cacao and sweetener. The almond milk gummies have a tendency to taste a bit bland.
  • 3 tbsp grass fed gelatin
  • Vitamin C:
  • 1.5 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 3 tbsp grass fed gelatin
Instructions
  1. Blueberry:
  2. Put the blueberries and water in a small pot. Cook for about 7-10 minutes over medium heat, or until the blueberries are very soft and starting to open.
  3. Place a fine wire mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the blueberry mixture through. Press all the blueberries against the strainer to make sure you get all the juice.
  4. Return the strained juice back to the pot, add the lemon and sweetener (optional) and re-heat for a minute over medium heat.
  5. Once bubbling around the edges, turn the heat down to medium-low and slowly add the gelatin while whisking vigorously, continue whisking until it is all dissolved. This usually takes me 3 or 4 minutes.
  6. Pour the liquid into a silicone mold, mini muffin pan, or baking dish. Put in fridge and let set for at least two hours.
  7. Strawberry-Orange:
  8. Place the strawberries and OJ in the blender. Blend for about 30 seconds, or until very smooth.
  9. Put the mixture in to a pot (with the sweetener, optional) and heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until it starts bubbling around the edges.
  10. Over medium-low heat, slowly add the gelatin while whisking vigorously, continue whisking until it is all dissolved. This usually takes me 3 or 4 minutes.
  11. Pour the liquid into a silicone mold, mini muffin pan, or baking dish. Put in fridge and let set for at least two hours.
  12. Chocolate Almond Milk:
  13. Heat the milk over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until it is very hot and starting to bubble around the edges.
  14. Over medium-low heat, slowly add the gelatin while whisking vigorously, continue whisking until it is all dissolved. This usually takes me 3 or 4 minutes.
  15. Pour the liquid into a silicone mold, mini muffin pan, or baking dish. Put in fridge and let set for at least two hours.
  16. Vitamin C:
  17. Heat the orange juice over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until it is very hot and starting to bubble around the edges.
  18. Over medium-low heat, slowly add the gelatin while whisking vigorously, continue whisking until it is all dissolved. This usually takes me 3 or 4 minutes.
  19. Pour the liquid into a mold, mini muffin pan, or baking dish. Put in fridge and let set for at least two hours.
Notes
You can make these with anything: any fruit, Kombucha, fruit juice, almond milk, coffee...Keep in mind if you heat Kombucha you are destroying all the beneficial bacteria.

I find that for every 1.5 cups of liquid you need about 3 tbsp of gelatin.
