Brazil Nut Free Apple-Ginger Collagen Gummies
These little gummies are a genuinely fun way to sneak some gut-supporting collagen into your day, and they taste like a cozy autumn drink in chewy form. Fresh ginger and Ceylon cinnamon give them a warm, spiced kick that balances beautifully against the bright sweetness of pure apple juice, while a touch of honey rounds everything out. The blooming step — letting the gelatin soak into the juice before heating — is the quiet secret behind that perfectly smooth, springy texture that sets cleanly and pops right out of the mold. Store-bought gummy supplements can be a minefield of mystery additives and shared-facility warnings, so making your own means you know exactly what's going in. The ingredient list is refreshingly short and naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning anxiety here. They come together in one small saucepan, chill in the fridge, and keep beautifully in an airtight container for easy snacking all week long.

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.
