Guilt-Free Gummies: A Sweet Treat with Benefits

Hey there! Chelsea here for a change  (a.k.a. Brayden and Alea’s mom, & Head Snack Officer), and I’m here to say something wildly controversial in the parenting world: GIVE YOUR KIDS CANDY.

Yes, really…

Before you gasp, hear me out—these gummies are not your average sugar bombs. They’re stealthy little-health-ninjas disguised as candy (a “colorful vitamin”). Think: gut-repairing, immune-boosting, hydration-helping superheroes wrapped in fruity, wiggly goodness.

And the best part? Making them is half the fun. It's the perfect excuse to get sticky in the kitchen with your kiddos on a lazy summer day. You’ll laugh, you’ll bond, you might accidentally have gelatin in your hair (ask me how I know)—but you’ll also show your kids that “healthy” can be delicious, silly, and so much fun.  

Let’s do this.

Ingredients (*7-flavor variants below)

• 1 cup organic juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or raw honey
• 3 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin
• 1 scoop Alkamind Gut Punch 
• 1 scoop Alkamind Acid-Kicking Minerals (Try all the flavors!)

Directions

1. Warm the juice in a saucepan over low heat—do not boil.  
2. Add the maple syrup or raw honey, stirring until dissolved.
3. Sprinkle the gelatin over the warm liquid while whisking constantly to prevent clumping.
4. Once the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, remove from the heat.
5. Add the Gut Punch and your Acid-Kicking Minerals, stirring well to combine.
6. Pour the mixture into silicone molds using a silicone dropper (if no molds, a small glass dish).
7. Place in the fridge for 1–2 hours or until set.
8. Once firm, pop gummies out of molds or slice into cubes if using a glass dish.
9. KEEP REFRIGERATED (very important) & store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
