AIP Friendly Mango-Lime Pumpkin Gummies
These sunny, tropical gummies are a genuinely fun way to get something sweet and nourishing on the table without compromising on your healing protocol. The base is built from mango and pumpkin purées, which give each piece a naturally vibrant color and a soft, fruity flavor that feels indulgent even though every single ingredient is clean and compliant. Fresh lime juice cuts through the sweetness with a bright, citrusy edge, while a whisper of ginger and turmeric add warmth and depth without overwhelming the fruit. Grass-fed gelatin is the magic here — it sets the whole mixture into a satisfying, chewy bite and brings along its own gut-supportive benefits, which makes these feel like more than just a treat. Store-bought gummies are almost always off the table on this kind of protocol, loaded with food dyes, corn syrup, and additives that have no place in an elimination approach, so making your own is genuinely worth it. The process is straightforward — bloom, whisk, pour, chill — and the batch makes enough to share or stash in the fridge for snacking throughout the week. Kids and adults alike tend to reach for these first, which is always a good sign.

4 servings
- 1 cup mango purée (from fresh or thawed frozen mango, blended smooth)
- ½ cup pumpkin purée
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 1 tbsp honey
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined honey are accepted on the protocol; the ~3/4 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 tsp ground ginger
- ⅛ tsp ground turmeric
- 3 tbsp unflavored grass-fed gelatin powder
- ¼ cup cold water
Instructions
- 1
Pour the cold water into a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until the gelatin has absorbed the water and the surface looks matte and spongy.

Add the mango purée, pumpkin purée, lime juice, honey, ground ginger, and ground turmeric to the saucepan with the bloomed gelatin. Warm the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and steaming — about 3–4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
