Description
These homemade gummies are made with kombucha and fresh fruit for an easy snack that is nutritious and gut-friendly!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups kombucha or 1 cup kombucha + 1 cup pineapple juice (or other juice of choice) *See notes for kombucha substitutes
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup raspberries or strawberries
- 8 Tablespoons grass-fed gelatin powder (See notes)
Instructions
- Combine the kombucha and/or fruit juice in a blender with the fruit and honey. Blend until the ingredients are well-combined. (See notes)
- Place the blended mixture in a small saucepan.
- Heat the mixture over medium-low heat until it starts to simmer. Do not let it come to a boil!
- Scatter the gelatin over the mixture, whisking continuously. If the mixture starts to clump after adding all of the gelatin, transfer it back to the blender (or use an immersion blender), and blend until combined.
- Return the mixture back to the saucepan, and heat on low for another minute.
- Working quickly but gently, pour the kombucha and collagen mixture into molds or a lined brownie baking dish.
- Place the mixture in the fridge to chill for 2 hours, or place it in the freezer for 30 minutes or until it is hardened.
- Once hardened, pop the gummies out of the molds. Or, if using a baking dish, flip it over on a cutting board, and slice gummies into 1-inch cubic squares.
- These gummies are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
For a kombucha-free option, replace the kombucha with pineapple juice and 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar.
Do not use collagen hydrolysate or peptides as they will not gel. Make sure you are using grass-fed beef gelatin or collagen.
No blender? Use an immersion blender instead.
