Ingredients Needed for This Probiotic Fruit Gummy Treats Recipe

• 1 cup of your favorite fruit juice (apple, grape, or berry work well)
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 3 tablespoons grass fed gelatin powder
• 1/4 cup water

• Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for extra tang

How to Make This Probiotic Fruit Gummy Treats Recipe

1. 1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom (soften). This is like waking up the gelatin so it’s ready to work for us.
2. 2. In a saucepan, gently heat the fruit juice and honey or maple syrup over low heat, stirring until the sweetener is dissolved. Do not boil!
3. 3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the bloomed gelatin mixture. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Make sure there are no lumps.
4. 4. Let the mixture cool slightly for a few minutes, then whisk in the probiotic powder. We want to make sure the mixture isn’t too hot, to ensure the probiotics stay active!
5. 5. If using, stir in a squeeze of lemon juice.
6. 6. Pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds. If you don’t have molds, you can use a small baking dish lined with parchment paper.
7. 7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
8. 8. Once set, gently remove the gummies from the molds. If you used a baking dish, cut the gummy sheet into squares or shapes.
9. 9. These probiotic fruit gummy treats are ready to enjoy!

• Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your liking. If your fruit juice is already sweet, you might need less sweetener. Taste is everything, so personalize it!
• Gelatin Quality: Grass fed gelatin is recommended for its nutritional benefits, but you can use regular gelatin if that’s what you have on hand.
• Probiotic Timing: Always add the probiotic powder *after* the mixture has cooled slightly to protect the beneficial bacteria from the heat.
