Skin Glow Gummies
If glowing skin starts from within, these gummies are one of my favorite ways to support it. They're packed with vitamin C from fresh citrus, which helps support your body's natural collagen production, while collagen peptides (if you choose to add them) provide the building blocks for healthy skin. Gelatin is rich in amino acids that support skin elasticity, and the addition of Manuka honey and turmeric brings an extra antioxidant boost. They're refreshing, easy to make, and taste like a citrus fruit snack, without all the added sugar.
Ingredients:
Juice of 1 orange
1 cup unsweetened coconut water
Juice of ½ lemon
¼ cup collagen peptides (optional)
4½ tbsp beef gelatin
½ cup ROAR Mango Clementine (to bloom the gelatin). If you don't have ROAR, you can substitute with a prepared serving of a citrus-flavored electrolyte drink.
2 tsp Manuka honey
⅛ tsp turmeric powder (for color and an added antioxidant boost)
Instructions:
Bloom the gelatin. Pour the ROAR Mango Clementine drink into a small bowl. Sprinkle the beef gelatin evenly over the top and let it sit for 5 minutes, until thick and gel-like.
Warm the liquids. In a small saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, coconut water, lemon juice, collagen peptides (if using), Manuka honey, and turmeric. Heat over low-medium heat until the mixture is just steaming. Do not let it boil.
Add the gelatin. Whisk the bloomed gelatin into the warm liquid until completely dissolved and smooth.
Pour and set. Pour the mixture into a glass baking dish or silicone molds.
Chill. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Store. Cut into bite-sized squares if using a glass dish. Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
