Recipe: Immune Support Gummies
Here’s a straightforward recipe to make immune-support gummies at home. They’re great for breakfast, snacks, or even packed into a lunchbox for a mid-day boost.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups grape juice (or any organic berry juice, ideally not from concentrate)
- 4 tablespoons gelatin
- 5 scoops Needed Immune Support Powder
Directions:
- In a small saucepan, mix the juice and gelatin over medium-low heat. Stir continuously as it heats to help the gelatin dissolve fully.
- Once the gelatin is fully dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat.
- Add Needed’s Immune Support Powder to the mixture and stir well to ensure it’s evenly blended (be sure not to add the powder to boiling liquid, as high heat can compromise its active ingredients).
- Pour the mixture into silicone molds or a glass dish.
- Place the filled molds or dish in the fridge and allow to set for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Pop the gummies out of the molds or cut them into bite-sized pieces if you used a glass dish.
How to Serve:
This recipe makes about 45 gummies with the molds I used. That translates to roughly nine gummies per full serving of Needed’s Immune Support Powder. For younger children (ages 1-3), half a serving is ideal, so 4-5 gummies are just right.
