Looking for a fun, nourishing snack that supports gut and immune health for the whole family? These easy homemade gelatin gummies are a fantastic base recipe you can adapt endlessly. Using just two ingredients and your liquid of choice\u2014like coconut milk, leftover pur\u00e9e, or fresh juice\u2014these gummies are a quick, protein-rich snack for adults and a fun finger food for babies learning to self-feed.<\/p>\n
The best part? You can use almost any liquid or smoothie you have on hand\u2014just avoid pineapple, kiwi, and papaya, as their natural enzymes prevent the gelatin from setting properly. From fruit pur\u00e9es to kefir, bone broth, or even breastmilk, this recipe is endlessly customisable to suit your needs.<\/p>\n
The basic ratio is simple: 1 tablespoon of gelatin for every 100ml of liquid.<\/strong> From there, you can play with flavours, colours, and nutrients\u2014think berry pur\u00e9e for antioxidants, coconut milk for healthy fats, or broth for a savoury option packed with minerals.<\/p>\n For younger babies, pour into a shallow glass dish and cut into safe, finger-sized strips once set.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n If you prefer a softer gummy<\/strong>, reduce the ratio to \u00bd TBSP gelatin per 100ml liquid.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Thicker liquids (like coconut cream or smoothies) will naturally yield a softer texture.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Leftover baby pur\u00e9e makes a great base for a nutrient-packed gummy snack.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Gelatin is a source of gut-loving collagen<\/strong> and amino acids that help support digestion, immunity, skin, and joint health.
