Gut Healing Gummies Recipe
Introduction
Gut Healing Gummies are a simple and nutritious snack that supports digestive health with the natural benefits of gelatin. These homemade gummies are easy to prepare and can be customized with your favorite juice flavors.
Ingredients
- Coconut oil for greasing the pan
- 4 cups of juice (any juice except pineapple), divided
- 8 tablespoons gelatin (Vital Proteins recommended)
Instructions
- Step 1: Lightly grease an 8”x8” pan with coconut oil to prevent the gummies from sticking.
- Step 2: Place 3 cups of the juice into a wide, shallow bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the juice and let it stand for 3-5 minutes to bloom. The mixture will thicken and look like applesauce when ready.
- Step 3: While the gelatin blooms, heat the remaining 1 cup of juice in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until hot, but not boiling.
- Step 4: Add the gelatin mixture to the heated juice and stir until the gelatin fully dissolves.
- Step 5: Pour the combined mixture carefully into the greased pan. Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours until the gummies are fully set.
- Step 6: Once set, cut the gummies into squares or your preferred shapes and enjoy your gut-supporting treats!
Tips & Variations
- Use tart fruit juices like cherry or grape for added flavor and antioxidants.
- If you prefer firmer gummies, add an extra tablespoon of gelatin.
- Try adding a splash of lemon juice or ginger for a bright, digestive-boosting kick.
- Make fun shapes by pouring the mixture into silicone molds instead of a pan.
Storage
Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To soften slightly before eating, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Avoid freezing as it can alter the texture.

Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- Coconut oil for greasing the pan (about 1 teaspoon)
- 4 cups of juice (any juice other than pineapple, divided)
- 8 tablespoons gelatin (Vital Proteins recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease an 8”x8” pan with coconut oil to ensure the gummies do not stick once set.
- Bloom the Gelatin: Pour 3 cups of the juice into a wide, shallow bowl. Evenly sprinkle 8 tablespoons of gelatin over the surface. Let it sit undisturbed for 3-5 minutes until the gelatin absorbs the juice fully and resembles a thick applesauce-like consistency with no visible white gelatin.
- Heat Remaining Juice: While the gelatin is blooming, heat the remaining 1 cup of juice in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it’s hot but not boiling.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Add the gelatin and juice mixture to the heated juice in the saucepan and stir continuously until completely dissolved. This ensures the gummies will set properly.
- Set the Gummies: Pour the fully combined mixture carefully into the prepared pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 4-5 hours to allow the gummies to firm up completely.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, remove the gummies from the pan and cut them into squares or any shape you prefer. Enjoy your gut-supporting homemade gummies as a healthy snack!
