Homemade Organic Gummies
The kids are OBSESSED with all types of organic gummies so I have been meaning to make our own. These turned out incredible and will be on rotation in our house. Not to mention Grass-Fed Beef Gelatin has some amazing health benefits - like supporting gut and digestion health, sleep, skin, hair, nails etc. Pretty amazing to add in as a pregnant mama - but the truth is everyone can use it (as long as it's a good source).
Ingredients:
4 scoops Gelatin (We used this one)
1 cup water
1 cup Organic Pure Tart Cherry Juice
1/4 cup honey
2 capsules of Camu Supreme :optional if want immune support (Use code:DRHCARLIE)
2 capsules of Thera Supreme: optional if want immune support (Use code:DRHCARLIE)
1. Combine 4 scoops of gelatin (we used Perfect Supplement Brand) & 1 cup of water in a glass dish. Mix and place to the side to let "bloom" while you prepare the rest.
2. Put 1 cup of Organic Pure Tart Cherry Juice into a small pot (we used the Lakewood brand that can be found at Sprouts or Whole Foods)
3. Gently and slowly heat the juice. We did this on the lowest setting until we saw slight steam begin.
4. Once steam is present, turn off and remove from the burner.
5. We waited about 3 minutes for it to cool a tad
6. We added in herbs (Camu Supreme & Thera Supreme) for immune system support. We added in 2 capsules of each by popping open the capsule, pouring the herbs into the warm juice and throwing away the capsule container. Honestly, I only added 2 capsules each to make sure it didn’t end up tasting weird but next time I plan to add 4 of each to up the dose of immune support. Since 4 of us are eating this basically within 2 days.
7. Mix with frother until fully dissolved
8. Add 1/4 cup of honey
9. Add in bloomed gelatin
10. Stir until all dissolved
11. Pour into a glass container or molds (these are the fun, BPA free molds we used)
12. Refrigerate until bouncey (will take less time, under 1 hour if using these molds)
13. ENJOY
