My daughter loves vitamins but they are loaded with sugar. So when I came across a DIY Gummy Vitamins by Wellness Mama I couldn’t wait to try them. These delicious vitamins can be made with your favorite flavors and vitamins to make a customized and healthy homemade vitamin.
Author: Wellness Mama
Recipe type: Supplement
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 8 teaspoons Gelatin Powder (I use this one because I have verified that it is from healthy grass-fed sources)
- ½ cup juice (fresh squeezed or no sugar added) Pineapple will not work
- 2 tablespoons of honey (optional)
- Vitamins of choice. I’ve tried: Vitamin C, Probiotics, Magnesium
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan over low heat, mix the juice, gelatin and honey and whisk to incorporate.
- Heat slightly until gelatin is completely dissolved- it will be thick and somewhat syrup-like.
- Remove from heat and whisk in vitamins, if using.
- Very quickly pour into molds or even a small glass dish (oil with coconut oil) and put in the freezer for 10 minutes to harden.
- Remove and pop out of molds. Cut into squares if needed.
- Serve and enjoy! Tell the kids that they are gummy bears and they won’t even know that are getting vitamins!
Notes
Make sure the gelatin is from a healthy source.
Try different flavor and vitamin combinations.
Our favorite fresh juice combinations are mango/orange, lemon/lime (sour) or elderberry syrup as the base.
