Here's a fun and tasty treat that provides bone building fuel for growing kids, and 'botox' for mom!
The key ingredient, grass-fed gelatin, is ridiculously good for you, and if you haven't tried it yet, now's the day! Consuming grass-fed gelatin regularly can improve wrinkles & stretch marks, hair & nail quality, anxiety & fatigue, joint & mobility pain, acne & blemishes, tooth decay & sensitivity, hormone imbalances and more!
I've tried a variety of recipes and methods to get this beneficial gelatin into my diet, but these creamy-strawberry gummies seem to be the favorite!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup pureed strawberries (nearly 1/2 pound of fresh strawberries)
- 1/8 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 6 1/2 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin (divided) (I use this kind)
- 1 cup BPA-free canned full-fat coconut milk (I use this kind)
- 1/8 cup Grade-B maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
1. Using a small food processor, add fresh strawberries (stems removed) and pulse until very smooth. Once you have 1/2 cup, pour into a small saucepan. Add lemon juice and honey to the saucepan, and turn on low heat. Stir until warm, (don't get hot though, because that will kill the probiotic quality of the honey). Very very slowly add 3 1/2 tablespoons of gelatin to saucepan while whisking vigorously, to prevent clumps. Remove from heat and pour mixture into molds (I use these), filling only half way. Transfer to freezer. (Alternatively you can pour into a medium-sized glass pan, and cut into cubes once completed).
3. In a clean saucepan, add the coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla and turn heat to low. Once warm, very very slowly add the remaining 3 tablespoons of gelatin while whisking vigorously. Remove trays from freezer, and top molds (or dish) with coconut cream mixture, then return to the freezer for 30 minutes.
4. Remove from freezer, allow to soften for 10 minutes, then pop out of molds, and enjoy!
*These can be stored at room temperature in a sealed container for 1 week, or in the fridge for extended shelf life.
Makes approximately 50 gummies (this number varies depending on your size of molds)
