PROTEIN JELLO JIGGLERS
This healthy homemade “protein jello jiggler” treat is kid and adult friendly, made with your choice of Organic fruit juice, raw honey, and grass fed gelatin for a boost of immunity and gut healing powers!
Vital Proteins collagen protein is a 100% pure, pasture-raised, grass-fed gelatin powder. It dissolves in hot liquids and thickens in cold liquids (ideal for gummies and other desserts)!
The amino acids contained in gelatin are therapeutic and are identical to the protein found in skin, nails, hair, bones, cartilage, and joints. It’s also gluten Free, rBGH Free, non GMO. It’s great for gut health and an overall boost to your immune system, and also a delicious way to support your weight loss goals.
Ingredients
1 cup 100% organic tart cherry juice or other juice you love. My favorites are:
Trader Joe’s Organic Power C juice blend and Trader Joe’s Organic Power of 7 Purple blend
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice strained
2 tbsp raw local honey
Instructions
In a saucepan, heat the juice over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
Lower the heat to the lowest setting and whisk in the honey until fully dissolved.
Now, whisk in the gelatin sprinkling VERY slowly with one hand as you whisk with the other. Continue to stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 3-5 mins.
Once you have no lumps, just liquid, remove from heat and carefully transfer the liquid into a glass or tin container. I like to use Pyrex glass so I can cover with a lid easily storing.
Refrigerate until firm (approx. 2 hours) then cut into squares and enjoy! You can always get creative and use a cookie cutter to make different shapes or get different molds for fun kid size gummies.
Store in the refrigerator!
Recipe Notes
*Don't worry if you have a couple of small stubborn lumps, if the gelatin is mostly dissolved you’re good to go. You can always strain it before pouring into the container to harden.
