Those of you following a Paleo/Primal/and especially Weston A. Price type diet should know that broth made from the bones of pastured animals (not CAFO animals) is a superfood. A gut healing food that improves digestion (the gateway to total wellness, and being free of disease), promotes healthy joints, supple skin, and thick, gorgeous hair and and nails. Most of you making broths at home know that when you refrigerate your broth and it comes out looking like a giant jello jiggler, this is the time to brag about it to all your friends on Facebook, and maybe even call your mom or best friend. Some of you have even experienced that feeling of having to hold back tears when your broth doesn’t gel. I know it’s a sad thing, but it happens….**pro tip** Just use chicken feet, and your broth will always be impressive.

We love broth, and always, ALWAYS make it from scratch when we are making a soup or stew. Chicken soup -aka Jewish penicillin- isn’t healing without the broth. That is the key ingredient to healing your body when you are under the weather, and if you are using broth from a container, you aren’t healing your body. Although a hearty bowl of meat, vegetables, and broth is almost always welcome, what about spring or summer when the weather is warm, and you just don’t feel like drinking a piping hot cup of broth? Fret not friends, we have your solution.

We will always recommend getting the things your body needs from food first, but in the world we live in today, that’s not always realistic. If you want to make sure you are getting daily doses of gelatin to help detoxify your body, and prevent illness and disease, but your work schedule doesn’t allow for broth making time, or your home is so hot you couldn’t imagine sipping broth unless you were able to sit in your refrigerator, Great Lakes Gelatin is at your rescue.

Gelatin Gummy Snacks

We don’t drink broth everyday, but we have made an effort to supplement with Great Lakes Gelatin. Some days we will mix a tablespoon into a cup of warm lemon water in the morning, and if we drank smoothies (chew your food–don’t drink it, it’s important) we would probably throw the gelatin in there to get it down. You can also add this gelatin to your soups and stews when you think they might need a little assistance in the gelling department. However, we are here today to tell you our newest and favoritest way to use Great Lakes Gelatin. GUMMY SNACKS!!!!

Gelatin Gummy Snacks

That’s right kids, healthy gummy snacks. Your kid wont eat broth? Gummy Snacks! Your husband wont eat broth? Gummy Snacks! You wont eat broth? Gummy Snacks! It’s too hot for broth? Gummy Snacks! I think you get the point. Unfortunately I didn’t come up with this recipe on my own… A friend of mine sent this recipe my way for healthy sour fruit snacks. I tried this recipe using frozen raspberries, and then fresh blueberries. My favorite was the blueberries. There also is no need for honey, unless maybe you are making them for your child, although when I made the blueberry flavor, I just added a bit more blueberries and the fresh fruit sweetened them very nicely! The blueberry was definitely Bill’s favorite too.

Once The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking  is turned in, I will be experimenting with more recipes using Great Lakes Gelatin. Gelatin is really important to have in your diet–it’s a source of protein, and full of amino acids (we love amino acids!!), and luckily it’s really fun and exciting to create recipes with!

      Love the recipe and you can’t beat only using 3 simple ingredients.

      We bought the “green can” of gelatin that dissolves easily. Would there be a reason that it might not be as effective as the “red can” though?

      Is there anything that can be substituted for the lemon juice? I have a citrus allergy.

      Thanks.

      I know this is an old post but the green can of gelatin will not work as that is meant to dissolve in liquids and not gel up. The red can is specifically for gelling up like in gummy treats.

      I have my first batch in the fridge right now!

      I just made these using 1 cup of frozen blueberries and they turned out fine. 2/3 cup of fresh lemon juice equaled about four lemons. Squeezing all those lemons was a chore, but the finished product is great! This is a nice sweet treat without added sugar, plus it’s healthy. Thanks!

      These are the bomb! Love that they are healthy and super easy to make. Will have to try with different fruits as well, but this is definitely a keeper!!
      Barely got to the 30 minute mark of refrigerating and my daughter ate four of them. Will have to do double batch next time!

      How many of these would you eat a day to equal a cup of broth? Thank you!

        You should aim for 1-2 TBSP of gelatin per day. This recipe calls for 4, so depending upon how many cubes it yields (each person has different molds, etc.) divide that by four and eat that amount. -Kara

      hey there, how can i get red of the smell of gelatin powder?

      Nice recipe. Instead of blueberries, can I use some other fruit? My kid hates them and always ends throwing up after eating handful of them. Are these varieties of gelatin made from original processed beef as just recently I purchased one processed beef broth which had the same taste and I ended up getting an upset stomach for two days.

      Do these have to be stored in the refrigerator? How long will they keep? I want to make them for my kids school lunches in the fall.

      Do you think these can be made in large batches and frozen?

      I’m so sorry but these were so horrible that none of us could eat them. I added organic stevia then organic cane sugar and they were still bad. I’m going to try adding some organic fruit juice to try and save them because that’s a lot of organic geletain to waste. I thought we could handle the lemon because we drink lemon water but these are just not good at all. I’m so sorry but I should warn others that these taste like drinking lemon just about straight. For those who don’t care for pure lemon then you may want to not use that much or use some kind of juice that you like from your juicer instead. Personally I’m adding a sweet juice to help this out hopefully.
      There should be a warning that these are as bad as pure super sour balls.
