AIP Friendly Mango-Lime Collagen Gummies
Bright, tropical, and genuinely fun to eat, these sunshine-colored gummies pack real mango flavor with a zippy hit of fresh lime juice and zest. A pinch of ground ginger rounds everything out, giving each bite a subtle warmth that keeps them from tasting one-dimensional. The base is built on grass-fed gelatin and collagen peptides — both unflavored — so the only sweetness comes from ripe mango and a touch of honey, with zero grain, legume, or nightshade ingredients anywhere in the list. That makes them a genuinely easy fit for the autoimmune protocol, where finding a satisfying sweet treat that checks every box can feel nearly impossible. The process is straightforward: blend and strain the mango, bloom the gelatin, warm it gently without boiling, then whisk everything together before pouring into molds. After a couple of hours in the fridge you have 16 servings of firm, jewel-toned gummies ready to pop out and snack on. Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and they'll hold up beautifully all week — if they last that long.

16 servings
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen mango chunks, thawed if frozen
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 2 tbsp honey
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined honey are accepted on the protocol; the ~1/3 teaspoon 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.
- ¼ cup cold water
- 3 tbsp unflavored grass-fed gelatin powder
- 2 tbsp collagen peptides powder
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- 1
Blend the mango chunks in a blender or food processor until completely smooth. Pass the purée through a fine-mesh strainer into a small saucepan, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible; discard any fibrous solids. You should have about 1 cup of smooth purée.
- 2
Pour the cold water into the saucepan with the mango purée. Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface and let it sit undisturbed for 3 minutes, until the gelatin has absorbed the liquid and the surface looks matte and slightly wrinkled.
