Good Gut Gummies

Try these gut healthy gummies, great for reducing inflammation.

I don’t know why, but there’s something I just LOVE about gummies. But have you ever looked at the ingredients on the back of a box of fruit snacks or gummies?! Gross! That’s why I whipped up these “good gut” gummies. Gelatin is great for healing your gut as it helps to restore a healthy mucosal lining in the stomach and reduce the amount of inflammation in the body. It’s also a pure source of protein, boosts metabolism, and reduces heartburn and acid reflux.

GOOD GUT GUMMIES from Go with Your Gut

Servings depend on size and cutgut healthy gummies

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries or raspberries (or a mix of the two)
  • 3/4 cup fresh lemon or lime juice (or a mix of the two)
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons honey (generally 2 for adults, 3 for kids)
  • 1⁄4 cup unflavored Great Lakes Gelatin

Directions:

  1. Add the berries to a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir the berries and allow them to cook until the liquid is steaming and the berries are plump, about 6-10 minutes.
  3. Place the lemon juice, honey, and berries into a high-speed blender or food processor, and blend until smooth. Remove the lid and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  4. Add the gelatin to the blender and blend again until smooth.
  5. Pour the mixture into candy molds, or a 9 x 9-inch baking dish, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  6. Once the gummies have set, remove them from the molds or slice them into desired shapes and store in the refrigerator.
