These gummies are seriously easy to make. Think back to making jelly as a child but only preservative, colouring and crap free! A great lunchbox addition for kids too!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups strawberries
- 2 lemons (juiced)
- 1 tbsp acai powder
- 2 tbsp gelatin
- 1/4 tsp monk fruit extract
- 2 cups filtered water
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Combine water with gelatin and set aside to 'bloom'. It will turn into a jelly like consistency.
-
Add strawberries, lemon juice and monk fruit to a high speed blender with any extra add ins like acai powder and blend until smooth.
-
Pour the strawberry mixture into a saucepan and gently stir over a low heat.
-
Add gelatin to the saucepan and continue stirring until it dissolves.
-
Once the gelatin has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool for approximately 10 minutes before pouring into moulds.
-
Set in the frige for 3-4 hours, remove from the moulds and store in the fridge for one week or the freezer for a couple of months.
NOTES
- You can replace monk fruit sweetener with 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey.
- Feel free to replace the lemon juice with lime juice for strawberry daquiri vibes!
- You can substitute water for coconut water or kombucha.
- Additional add ins you might want to add include:
- probiotic capsules (just open the caps and pour the powder in to the blender)
- liver capsules (an absolute powerhouse of nutrients)
- Vitamin C or kakadu plum powder
