I don’t particularly have memories of eating gummy fruit snacks as a child. However, in my later years and under the stress of a looming deadline, they became my busy-snack of choice. I say busy-snack because I didn’t really need to be eating anything, but I enjoyed the process of eating these by hand, I liked the fruit flavors and the chewy consistency. I would go through a box of them before I knew they were gone. Many of those gummies are loaded things my body can’t handle anymore but, I miss the satisfaction those snacks provided. I did some browsing online and discovered how to make my own healthy versions! I came up with three recipes that I will be sharing. The first is for Carrot Apple Gummies!
This recipe has three ingredients. I used my juicer and juiced an apple and carrots, then added in grass-fed beef gelatin. That is it! Grass-fed beef gelatin is rich in amino acids a key factor in a healthy gut. When I said these were healthy, I meant it! NO sugar, NO artificial flavors, No food dyes, just REAL fruit, REAL vegetables, and a gut booster! These definitely do not taste as sweet as the originals but they filled a void for me.
