This is a fun twist on gelatin gummies using green juice as the base. Not only can you get a great dose of gelatin, which is great for a healthy gut, skin, nails, and hair, but you can also get some fresh greens which provide antioxidants and folate.
What kind of gelatin should you use? I’m a fan of both Vital Proteins and Great Lakes. Make sure you use gelatin from either company, and not collagen, as the latter won’t firm up.
A note on the sweetener used here: I call for a range of honey because your green juice is likely to vary in sweetness. If you pick up a juice that has some fruit juice in it, like orange, pear, or kiwi, you might want to forgo the honey all together. If you use a true green juice like I did here (mine is a blend of celery, cucumber, spinach, mustard greens, kale, collards, and parsley) then you will want to use the full amount of sweetener.
Vibrant Green Juice Gummies

Total time
Author: Mickey Trescott
Serves: 12 gummies
Instructions
- Place the green juice and lemon juice in the bottom of a sauce pan. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and set aside for a few minutes to let the gelatin "bloom."
- Turn the heat on the lowest setting and heat gently, while whisking constantly, until the mixture is no longer thick and all of the gelatin is dissolved. Do not overheat or cook, just heat until the mixture thins and all of the granules dissolve.
- Add the honey and whisk to combine. Pour into silicone gummy molds and set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Notes
Note: If you use a green juice with any fruit or other sweet ingredients, feel free to omit the sweetener here. The less sugar in the juice you use, the more honey you will want to use.

Hi there!
What molds did you use? I’m searching through Amazon but I’m finding many reviews complain that silicone molds leave a waxy residue. Would you recommend yours? Thanks!Reply

Hi Marion! I just used a muffin tin for these ones. I’ve used other silicone molds with no issue though!

What do you mean by “green juice” ? Is this a powder for a drink or something I make myself or do you have specific recipe or product recommendation? It could mean many things. Please clarify. Thank you.☺

Hi Duanne! Green juice is fresh pressed from green vegetables. The kind I buy is made from celery, kale, cucumber, and ginger. Hope it helps!

Hi Mickey, I live ouside the US, can I use any kind of gelatin or should I look for a specific one? Can I omit lemon (it burns my eyes)?

Hi Mary! I’m not sure if you can get Great Lakes or Vital Proteins where you live, but those are my favorite. You can try what you can get your hands on, but I can’t guarantee it will work the same. You can make without lemon and just replace with more juice. Good luck!
