AIP Friendly Blueberry-Lemon Collagen Gummies
These bright, jewel-toned gummies are a genuinely fun way to sneak something nourishing into your day without feeling like you're eating "health food." Bursting blueberries get blended and strained into a silky deep-purple base, then lifted with fresh lemon juice and zest for a flavor that's tart, floral, and just sweet enough thanks to a touch of honey. The whole thing sets up with grass-fed gelatin — a gut-supportive ingredient that fits naturally into an elimination-style approach — so every little gummy delivers real collagen alongside the fruit. Store-bought gummy snacks are almost always off the table on a protocol like this, loaded with artificial colors, corn syrup, and additives that have no place in a healing diet. This recipe sidesteps all of that with a short, clean ingredient list you can actually read. They come together in well under two hours, most of which is hands-off fridge time, and the batch makes four servings — perfect for keeping a stash ready through the week. Pop them out of a silicone mold and you've got a snack that feels like a treat and works hard for your body at the same time.

4 servings
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- ½ cup water
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp honey
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined honey are accepted on the protocol; the ~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid honey, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 tbsp unflavored grass-fed gelatin powder
Instructions
- 1
Combine the blueberries and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the liquid is deep purple, about 5–6 minutes.
- 2
Remove from heat and blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender directly in the saucepan, or transfer carefully to a countertop blender. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup, pressing the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. You should have about 3/4 cup of strained blueberry liquid.
