Macadamia Free Apple-Ginger Collagen Gummies
These little gummies are a genuinely fun way to sneak some gut-supporting collagen into your day, and the flavor combination of tart apple, warming ginger, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon makes them taste like something you'd actually crave. The base is pure apple juice — no concentrates, no additives — so the flavor stays bright and clean from the very first bite. Fresh grated ginger gives them a gentle kick that balances the natural sweetness of the honey beautifully, and straining out the ginger fibers before pouring means every gummy has a perfectly smooth, glossy texture. The blooming step is what makes the whole thing work: letting the gelatin absorb the juice before heating ensures it dissolves evenly and sets up firm without any rubbery or grainy patches. They're completely free from tree nuts of any kind, so you can share them with a crowd without a second thought. Make a batch on Sunday and you'll have a satisfying, protein-rich snack ready to grab straight from the fridge all week long.

4 servings
- 2 cups fresh 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.
