Healthy Vitamin C Fruit Gummies






After reading tons of articles about the benefit of gelatin, (you can read for yourself here and here)  I decided to give it a go and try some recipes using it. I came across a bunch of different recipes for fruit gummies and decided to take advantage of our orange tree and make some yummy orange gummies packed with vitamin C and grassfed gelatin. I also added some camu camu to give it a super boost of vitamin C power. This treat is great for kids that need some added protein and vitamins. It's also an easy take-along snack. 





Ingredients  




  • 1 1/2 cups of orange juice (I used fresh squeezed)
  • 7 T of grass-fed gelatin powder 
  • 4 T honey
  • 4 tsp of vitamin c powder (I used camu camu)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • pinch of sea salt






Directions



In a saucepan, heat orange juice over medium heat. Pour gelatin over mixture and whisk. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a light boil. Pour mixture into molds and refrigerate for about an hour. Once the gummies are set, pop out and enjoy!
