Equipment

Ingredients 

Strawberry Carrot

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries (240g)
  • 1/2 cup cooked carrots (70g)
  • 2 tablespoons gelatin

Mango Spinach

  • 1 1/2 cups mangoes (250g)
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach (a small handful)
  • 2 tablespoons gelatin

Instructions 

  • Add your fruits and veggies into a high-powered blender. Blend until completely smooth. Optional: taste and add a little honey or maple syrup, as needed.
  • Add the smooth mixture to a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly on top and let it sit for 3-5 minutes.
  • Turn the stove to medium heat and whisk until the gelatin completely dissolves and no clumps remain.
  • Pour into a silicone mold of choice and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set. Pop them out of the mold and transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Do NOT boil the gelatin and fruit mixture.
  • Work quickly - Once the gelatin has dissolved in the pan with no lumps, pour into your mold as quickly as possible as it will continue to thicken.
  • As mentioned, the consistency of these gummies are softer and less chewier than the store-bought fruit snacks. If you desire a chewier texture, you can try adding up to 3 tablespoons of gelatin. I wouldn't add more than that as they will start to become tough or even rubbery.
