HEALTHY GUMMY BEARS
Gelatin is one of the most underrated foods available. It is a source of anti-inflammatory amino acids such as proline, hydroxyproline and glycine.
The amino acids contained within gelatin can help to balance the potentially inflammatory amino acids found in muscle meats such as cysteine, tryptophan and methionine.
Simply balancing these amino acids with the "non-essential" amino acids gives the same benefits of caloric restriction, without having to starve yourself!
- Mix 1/2 cup Saturee gelatin with 3 cups Santa Cruz organic fruit juice in your saucepan on the stove. Try different flavors to find one that you like. I like raspberry lemon. Wait 10 minutes or so until the gelatin blooms.
- Turn the heat on medium
- Optional: Add 1.5 cups or more of refined white sugar (I use C&H) to taste. Stir until it is dissolved in the liquid mixture. You can also add raw honey at the end as a natural sweetener option.
7. Use droppers to transfer into molds of choice or just pour into a Pyrex dish and cube it up. I used these BPA-free bear molds for my first few batches. Great for children!
9. Put them in the refrigerator to solidify.
GUMMY FAQ:
How long do they last?
The lemon juice is for the citric acid which preserves them at room temperature for 2-3 days. They can be stored in the fridge if you want them to last longer.
Do I need to use gummy molds?
No. You can buy rectangle silicone molds and skip the dropper part.
