These homemade electrolyte gummy bears combine natural fruit juice and Himalayan pink salt for a refreshing, hydrating snack with a soft, chewy texture and subtle fruity flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) 100% fruit juice (cranberry, orange, or mixed berry)
  • 3 tablespoons (30 grams) unflavored gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 grams) finely ground Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) vitamin C powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) fruit juice into a small saucepan over low heat. Warm gently to about 110°F (43°C), avoiding boiling.
  2. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons (30 g) unflavored gelatin evenly over the warm juice. Let it sit for 1 minute to bloom.
  3. Whisk continuously for 2-3 minutes until the gelatin fully dissolves and the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) finely ground Himalayan pink salt, and optional 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) vitamin C powder. Whisk until well blended.
  5. Using a dropper or small spoon, carefully fill silicone gummy bear molds. Work quickly to avoid air bubbles.
  6. Transfer molds to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours until gummies are firm and easily pop out.
  7. Remove gummies from molds and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Do not overheat the juice mixture to preserve gelatin setting power. Bloom gelatin properly before stirring to avoid grainy texture. Use silicone molds for easy gummy removal. Dust gummies lightly with cornstarch or coconut flour if they stick before storing.
