Real Fruit Gummies

Real Fruit Gummies (Made with Fresh Fruit)- Fun, Colorful, Gut-Friendly Snack for 12 months & Up 

If you’ve ever looked at store-bought fruit snacks and wished for a cleaner, real-fruit version, these homemade real fruit gummies are exactly what you need! They’re made with fresh fruit, gut-friendly gelatin, coconut water, and a splash of lime juice to keep them bright and fresh. Sweetened naturally with honey, these gummies are a fun and wholesome treat for kids, no artificial flavors, no refined sugars, and full of real fruit flavor.

What I love most about these is how customizable they are. You can use almost any fruit combination your family enjoys and adjust the sweetness to taste. Plus, they’re made in minutes, the blender and a fun mold do all the work for you!

Create Your Own Flavor Mixes:

One of the best things about homemade gummies is how easy it is to customize them. You can mix and match any fruits or juices you like, it’s fun to experiment with colors and flavors!

Here are a few ideas to try:

• Apple juice + strawberry for a soft, sweet flavor

• Grape juice + blueberry for a rich, purple gummy

• Elderberry juice + raspberry for an immune-boosting combo

• Orange juice + mango for a tropical twist

• Peach + pear + lime for something fresh and bright

You can use fresh or frozen fruits, or skip the fruit entirely and use 100% fruit juice as your base.

💡 Basic Gelatin Ratio:

• For 1 cup of liquid, use 2 tablespoons gelatin.

• For 2 cups of liquid, use 4 tablespoons gelatin.

This ratio gives you firm but chewy gummies, you can adjust slightly depending on how soft or bouncy you like them!

Tips & Notes:

• For brighter flavor, add a squeeze of lemon or orange juice.

• Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
