Why You’ll Love These Strawberry & Mango Star Gummies

- They’re made with nourishing ingredients
- The grass-fed beef gelatin is great for you gut lining, hair, skin, and nails
- They’re bite sized, and are easy to grab and go when you want a sweet treat after or with lunch
- The kids love them, and as parents we love that they’re nourishing their bodies with nutrient dense foods
Key Ingredients
- Grass-fed beef gelatin– not to confused with Knox gelatin packets, high quality beef gelatin is full of nutrients that are good for our guts, hair, skin, and nails! Fun fact- i made it a point to eat homemade gummies everyday while I was pregnant to help prevent stretch marks, and yes, it worked! The gelatin is what gives gummies their squishy texture
- Strawberries / Mango – using real fruit enhances the flavor of the gummies versus using just juice alone
- Juice – liquid is needed to dissolve the gelatin into
- Honey – completely optional. My kids do not require the added sweetness to our homemade gummies, but if you’re expecting Welch’s fruit snacks, the homemade version without added sweeteners will be an adjustment
- Blue Spirulina Powder – artificial dye-free and packed with vitamins and minerals. It adds a blue hue to your favorite treats, and it’s super easy to adjust the shade of blue you’re seeking
