I recommend reading this post here on my blueberry cheesecake gummies for a little more insight into gelatin but, in a nut shell, use the best quality gelatin you can afford (organic, grass fed and finished). Choosing the best quality gelatin you can turns these yummy berry gummies into healthy, healing berry gummies.
These are the brands I use;
- Cell squared Bovine Gelatin. You can use Jivitalove for 15% off your first order on the Jivita store.
- Changing habits Organic Gelatin– you can use my code Jivitalove via the Jivita store (which has loads of other great products)
- Nutraorganics Australian, grass fed gelatin– I like that this is sourced in Australia and has sustainable packaging too. Use my code JADE10 for an extra discount at checkout on the part and parcel store.
- 100% berry juice (we love blueberry), or pomegranate or tart cherry juice.

Description
These easy berry gummies are a healthy dessert or snack for anyone, but particularly for kids- they’re filled with healthy fats, gut-healing gelatin, antioxidants and immune boosting honey.
Ingredients
- 5 Tbsp gelatine powder
- 1 1/2 cups 100% blueberry, pomegranate or tart cherry juice, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup filtered water, at boiling point
Optional extras: you can add a teaspoon (or two!) of anything else you’d like to add- this might be your favourite vitamin c, herbal extracts, powdered herbs or even powdered good supplements (like liver). It’s so easy to sneak in lots of goodies. I like to add extracts of cordyceps + gubinge (wholefood vitamin c) powder.
Instructions
- Add the gelatin and juice + any optional extras into a small jug with a lip for pouring (I use a 1.5L Pyrex jug). Stand for 5 minutes to bloom or hydrate the gelatine, then mix well.
- Next, slowly add the hot water, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Tip: If the gelatin isn’t dissolved, you can hear the liquid in a saucepan over low heat, only until just dissolved
- Pour into silicone moulds, or simply a glass dish lined with baking paper. Set in fridge for 1-2 hours, or overnight. Make sure the gummies are quite firm to the touch- when you poke them they should be bouncy and semi-firm. Transfer to an airtight container. They last up to 4-5 days in the fridge.
Note: Alternatively this process can be done in a thermo/magi. Simply add everything in, including the full amount of water, but make sure the water is all cold water. Bloom as described above, then set the thermo/magi and heat to 70c.
Notes
- If you want sweeter gummies you can add honey or maple syrup.
What could be a substitute for the Berry powder? For example could I use fresh or frozen berries?
Yes you can absolutely use those- just you’ll need to blend them up. If use frozen let them defrost first, then blender with the gelatin, cold water and honey. Then add hot water 🙂
Hello! How many grams of berries would you use if you were substituting the powder for frozen or fresh berries? Thank you!
Hi Madi- 1 cup will be perfect.
Hi! Could you please link the mold you used?
Thanks! ?
I buy them in Australia from a shop called Alyce Alexandra. Ill update the post with a link for you.
What brand berry powder do you use? (I’m in the US.) I, bought freeze dried raspberry powder and kept adding it up to 1/4 cup and the mixture still didn’t taste like anything.
I use Arepa (black current) or bare berries (mixed berries) and both have a lot of taste even at 1 Tbsp. I’m not sure why your powder isn’t having the safe effect, sorry.
Hi! For pregnant women who cannot have raw honey, would maple syrup work ? Or would you recommend pasteurized honey?
Yes, absolutely! I love maple as a substitute. Pasterised honey would work well too.
What brand of gubinge do you use?
Love your recipes! Thank you!
Awww thanks so much Desiree.
I use the Loving Earth brand usually. Which brand do you use?
