BHA & BHT Free Apple-Ginger Collagen Gummies
Tart apple juice, warming fresh ginger, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon come together in these bouncy, jewel-toned little gummies that feel more like a treat than a wellness habit. The base is refreshingly simple — just real-food ingredients you can actually read and recognize, which matters a lot when you're trying to avoid the synthetic preservatives that sneak into so many packaged snacks and store-bought supplements. Grass-fed beef gelatin does all the structural work here, bloomed properly in cold juice before being gently warmed so it dissolves into a silky, clear liquid that sets up beautifully in the fridge. A touch of honey rounds out the tartness without tipping the whole thing into candy territory. Straining out the ginger fibers before pouring into the molds gives you that smooth, professional finish — no chewy bits, just clean, glossy gummies that pop right out of the silicone. They're genuinely fun to make, easy to batch ahead, and satisfying in a way that a lot of "clean" snacks just aren't.

4 servings
- 2 cups fresh juice or 100% pure apple juice, unsweetened
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp unflavored grass-fed beef gelatin powder
Instructions
- 1
Pour 1 cup of the apple juice into the small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit undisturbed for 3–5 minutes until the gelatin has absorbed the juice and the surface looks matte and slightly wrinkled — this is the bloom step and ensures the gelatin dissolves smoothly.

Add the remaining 1 cup of apple juice, the grated ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and honey to the saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat, whisking gently, until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and steaming — about 3–4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
