My kids gobble up gummies faster than I can make them. I’ve been thinking about how to cut back on the ingredients and cost and I found a great solution. True Lime and Lemon drink packets. This has the flavor and sweetener all in one. They do have one gram of sugar per packet but each packet makes more than a dozen gummies.
Low carb gummies are a favorite snack. They are basically free food. They are low carb, low fat, and low calorie. In Trim Healthy Mama foods that are low carb and low fat are called fuel pulls. Gummies are one of the best fuel pulls.
I also love these drink packets. My kids love them too. Our favorite is the True Lime Watermelon and you better believe I’ll be making gummies out of those soon. I get these True Lime Limeade Black Cherry packets every month in my Amazon Subscribe and Save. They come to $1.76 a box and help me hit my five items needed for the 15% Subscribe and Save discount.
Ingredients:2 cups nearly boiling water
3 packets True Lemon Lemonade or True Lime Limeade (I used Black Cherry Limeade in these)
6-7 tbsp gelatin (8-10 packets – less for a jello texture, more for a gummy texture)
Directions:
Put the gelatin into a blender. Remove the center spout from the lid and grab a dish towel. Pour the hot water on top of the gelatin. Cover the open hole with a dish towel folded over a bunch of times. The hot water will spurt up. Blend for a minute or two until the gelatin is dissolved. Add the drink packets and blend for another minute. Pour into silicone molds and refrigerate until firm.
The molds I used are these ones plus a random silicone
cake pop mold that I just used one side of it:
We already sampled a few before I took a pic. This is one batch of this recipe. It makes a ton of gummies.
