Healthy Homemade Strawberry Protein Gummies
Gummies are the perfect snack for kids and adults alike. However, most store-bought gummies contain refined sugars like glucose syrup, sugar, dextrose or artificial flavors and colors, which don't make them the healthiest option.

Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen, chopped
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons gelatin
Instructions
- Place strawberries, water, and lemon juice in a food processer or high powered blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Line a small pot with a nut milk bag or metal strainer. Pour strawberry puree through the bag. Squeeze puree to get all the juice out and leaving behind any pulp or seeds. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of juice.To the pan add honey and whisk to combine. Heat mixture over low heat until it warms. You don't want it to get too hot, just barely warmed. Slowly whisk in gelatin. Let it sit for a minute two to allow the foam to disappear. Pour into a silicone mold or a greased glass baking dish. Place in the fridge for 2 hours or until firm. Remove from mold or cut into bite-size pieces if using a glass dish. Roll cubes in stevia, granulated sugar or cornstarch to prevent them sticking together.Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Gummies will soften some (but still hold together) if left out at room temperature.
