Ingredients

  • 2 cups vegetable juice (suggestions of vegetables to use are kale, spinach, Swiss Chard, celery, spirulina, and ginger root)
  • Or
  • 2 cups water and 2 teaspoons greens powder
  • 7 tablespoons gelatin
  • 1/2 lemon, juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Optional Coating

  • 1/4 cup granulated stevia or sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon powdered citric acid (optional for a sour touch)

Instructions

  • Add one cup of juice to a small saucepan, and set aside an additional cup of juice.
    Stir the gelatin into the cup of juice (that is not in the saucepan). Mix well, and set aside for 10 minutes for the gelatin to ‘bloom’.
    Heat the juice in the saucepan over low/medium heat until the juice starts to steam.  Do not bring the juice to a boil.
    Take off the heat and add the gelatin and juice mixture to saucepan with the warm juice. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved and no lumps remain.
    Mix in the honey.
    Once all has dissolved, remove it from the heat and pour the mixture into silicon moulds, ice trays, or a small dish or pan.
    Place in the fridge to set for 2-3 hours.
    Pop the gummies out of the moulds, or cut into squares or cubes.
    If preferred roll the gummies in the sour sugar until fully coated.
    Store uncovered at cool room temperature for up to 1 week, covered in the refrigerator (separate with layers of parchment) for up to 2 weeks, or in in the freezer (in a container between layers of parchment) for up to 3 months.
