Gluten Free Fruit & Vegetable Gummies
Did you know you can actually make your own fruit snacks? Did you know that it’s really not even that hard and it only takes a few ingredients?
With a young child running around, I think about snacks a lot more than I used to. Every chance I get to sneak in a healthy snack here and there is one that I embrace. When I can offer him snacks that I feel great about, it makes it even better.
These easy DIY Fruit & Vege Snacks are a big hit . They’re just as fun to make as they are to eat – especially if your little one is helping you out in the kitchen. I’ve found that any time I involve my son in cooking, he’s more likely to try whatever we’ve made together.
The ratio of ingredients is really easy to remember and the variations are endless with these.
I found my molds at my local 2 euro shop. U can get yours below. There is loads to choose from.
- For The Orange Gummy:
- 2 Cooled Cooked Carrots
- 1 Cup Pure Orange Juice
- ½ Cup Honey
- ⅓ Cup Gelatin
- For The Green Gummy:
- 1 Handful of Spinach
- 1 Cup Pure Apple Juice
- ½ Cup Honey
- ⅓ Cup Gelatin
- For The Purple Gummy:
- ⅓ Cup Strawberries
- ½ Cup Blueberries
- ½ Cup Apple Juice
- ½ Cup Honey
- ⅓ Cup Gelatin
- Put all your ingredients into a blender (- the Gelatin) and pulse until all is combined.
- Put your mixture into a sauce pan.
- Add your ⅓ cup of gelatin.
- Let it sit for a minute or two so the gelatin can suck up the liquid. (This will help prevent a clumpy or gritty finished product!)
- Turn on the heat to low to medium till the gelatin dissolves.
- Turn off heat and let sit for a few minutes to cool down.
- Use a syringe and suck up your juice and push out into your gummy mold.
- Let sit for 5 minutes so it sets and then put in fridge for two hours. Remove from molds and enjoy
