Collagen Fruit Jellies (Printable)

Naturally sweet, chewy fruit jellies boosted with collagen for a healthy, guilt-free snack.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup (240 ml) 100% fruit juice (orange, mixed berries, or apple)

02 - 2 to 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

03 - 2 tablespoons (about 20 g) grass-fed collagen peptides

04 - 3 tablespoons (about 30 g) unflavored gelatin powder

01 - Pour the fruit juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes to bloom.

02 - Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the gelatin dissolves completely. Do not allow the mixture to boil.

03 - Remove from heat. Add the collagen peptides and honey or maple syrup if using, stirring thoroughly until fully combined.

04 - Pour the liquid into silicone molds or a small baking dish lined with parchment paper.

05 - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the jellies are completely set.

06 - Once set, carefully remove the jellies from the molds. If using a baking dish, cut into bite-sized pieces with a paring knife.

07 - Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

They deliver a satisfying chewy bite that tricks your brain into thinking you are eating candy, not something good for you.
The collagen boost supports your skin and joints without any weird aftertaste or gritty texture.

02 -

If the gelatin does not bloom properly before heating, you will end up with clumpy bits that never dissolve, so patience in those first few minutes really matters.
Boiling the mixture was my biggest early mistake and it resulted in jellies that never fully set, so keep the heat low and gentle.

03 -

Let the gelatin bloom undisturbed and you will be rewarded with a perfectly smooth texture every single time.
Silicone molds are worth the small investment because they release the jellies effortlessly without any sticking or breaking.
