Why You’ll Love These Homemade Strawberry Protein Marshmallows

They texture is fun and squishy!
They are incredible to use in fall s’mores around the campfire
They’re gluten free, refined sugar free, and completely dairy free
They’re sweetened with honey, which is lower glycemic index than white table sugar
They taste even better than a store bought marshmallow!

Key Ingredients

Grass fed beef gelatin – helps give the gooey texture! Not the same as those individual Knox packets. I prefer this brand of high quality beef gelatin HERE
Honey – the gooeyness helps you achieve the squishy texture
Organic Raw Sugar – sugar is one of the top 5 GMO crops. For this reason I opt for organic sugar, to avoid the glyphosate and pesticide exposure
- I have since made these marshmallows multiple times, and have found they will work with just 1 cup of honey as well (in place of all sweeteners)
Strawberry Protein Powder – adds protein and flavor to these! My favorite clean ingredient brand is Just Ingredients 100% grass fed whey, with no gums or artificial flavors / sweeteners. Code colleenF10 saves you site wide!

Combine gelatin and 1/2 cup water in a large mixing bowl
In a pot combine remaining 1/2 cup water, honey, and sugar
- Note I have made this recipe again and used just 1 cup of honey total (no cane sugar) and it also worked out!
Heat on stove top, stirring regularly to keep from sticking to the bottom. Cook until you reach a temp btwn 238-230 degrees F (5-8min for me on medium heat)
Once that’s reached, pour into mixing bowl with your gelatin bloom
Use a stand or hand mixer and whip for 5-8 minutes, until you get a gooey consistency
Add in strawberry protein powder and whip another minute until goooey
Pour into 8×8 dish and refrigerate 1 hour
Slice into squares and coat in arrowroot to keep from sticking

I love how easy it to just add all of the filling ingredients to a stand mixer and watch it fluff up into that irresistible gooey texture!

Organic sugar – you can make these with just 1 cup of honey in place of the honey & sugar
Arrowroot starch – is flavorless but helps coat the marshmallows so they don’t stick together. You can also use organic powdered sugar, corn starch, or tapioca starch
Strawberry Protein Powder – you can use 3 tbsp freeze dried strawberry powder instead. You can also use vanilla protein or the protein flavor of your choice instead of strawberry

I used to be intimidated by homemade marshmallows, but they really are soo much easier than you’d think!

And the texture is just irresistible! Pillowy soft fluffy fun!
