Description
These Gut Gummies are a simple, pantry-friendly way to add a probiotic boost to a snack-sized treat with a bright flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) 100% fruit juice (tart cherry or apple) or diluted brewed tea
- 3 tablespoons (about 27 g) unflavored gelatin (about 3 packets)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1–2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon probiotic powder (or 2 tablespoons plain probiotic yogurt)
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or 1/4 teaspoon grated ginger
Instructions
- Measure 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold juice into a bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface; let sit 5 minutes.
- Warm the remaining 1 cup (240 ml) juice with honey and lemon in a small saucepan to about 140°F (60°C), stirring to dissolve the sweetener. Do not boil.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm liquid and stir until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and cool to 110°F (43°C).
- Stir in probiotic powder gently (if using yogurt, whisk it in off-heat and note it will slightly loosen set). Pour into molds, chill 1.5–2 hours, then unmold.
Notes
Store gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7–10 days. Use silicone molds for easy removal, and be sure to cool the mixture to preserve probiotics.
