Gut Healing Pineapple Gummies

This easy 2-ingredient gut health recipe will blow your mind. Say hello to better digestion and skin just from this recipe alone!

These gummies are made with bovine gelatin, pure collagen protein which has an impressive amino acid profile that’s amazing for healing the gut lining, improving skin elasticity, strengthening muscles and joints, and so much more.

Collagen is actually the most abundant form of protein in the body. It forms our muscles, joints, hair, skin, nails, and supports the lining of our gut. Unfortunately, as we age, our bodies produce less collagen and it’s difficult to obtain from food unless quality animal proteins are a staple in your diet. Supplementation has been shown to help!

The collagen that I use is from Perfect Supplements, a brand I personally love and stand by wholeheartedly! They prioritize clean supplements that are pesticide, glyphosate free and source from pasture raised, grass fed cows. You can find many incredible products such as dessicated grass fed liver, pure vitamin D3 drops, Magnesium, and so many other great functional, whole food supplements.

If you’d like to find this exact supplement and make these gummies with me, you can find it here.

Let’s make some gummies!

Recipe:

-1/3 cup of Perfect Supplements Bovine Gelatin

-4 cups of 100% pineapple juice

First, bloom the gelatin in a small bowl with 1 cup of juice. Then heat a pan or pot with remaining 3 cups of juice on medium heat. Once the gelatin blooms (you’ll see it texturize), add it into the rest of the heated juice and stir.

Then grease a shallow glass container with virgin coconut oil. This step makes the gummies taste like pina colada flavored! Now pour in the juice to the container and let it cool down.

Place it into the fridge for 3+ hours or overnight to let it firm up.

Cut them out into cubes once it’s ready and enjoy!!

So much fun to eat. It’s great as a snack or breakfast bite if you’re on the go or have a hard time eating foods in the morning. It’s a great way to stabilize blood sugar and to stay nourished. A big batch will last about a week!
