Low Carb Gummies – THM FP, 3 Ingredients
My Three Ingredient Low Carb Gummies will please kids and kids at heart. They are chewy, flavorful, and you can easily customize this recipe to your own preferences.
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 for a Snack
Low carb gummies are a favorite snack in my house. 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 True Lime Black Cherry Limeade packets. I frequently get them via subscribe and save from Amazon or from a local grocery store.
How to Avoid Foamy Gummies
As you can see in my photo using the blender method can leave a little foam on the gummies. My kids don’t mind. If you do you can whisk by hand instead. Soften the gelatin by sprinkling it on cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Then proceed with the recipe. You want to use 2 cups of water total. The exact ratio of cold vs hot does not really matter. Just use a few tablespoons of cold and hot for the rest of the 2 cups.
What Mold should I use for Low Carb Gummies?
Any silicone mold will work. Gummy bears, lego men, hearts, stars? Amazon has all of them.
We already sampled a few low carb gummies before I took a pic. This is one batch of this recipe. It makes a ton of gummies.

Three Ingredient Gummies
Ingredients
- 2 cups nearly boiling water
- 4 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)
Instructions
Blender method:
- 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 on the lowest setting until the gelatin is dissolved. Add the drink packets and blend for another minute. Pour into silicone molds and refrigerate until firm.
Bowl method:
- Put 1/4 cup cold water in the bottom of a medium sized bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let sit for 5 minutes. Pour 1 3/4 cup boiling water over the bloomed gelatin. Whisk until the gelatin dissolves. Add the drink packets and whisk until smooth. Pour into silicone molds and refrigerate until firm.
super simple, healthy, just what I needed. thank you sooo much!!!
I just made these and can’t wait for them to set up! super excited to have some gummies, I’m so sick of chocolate, Keto tends to over do it with the chocolate.
I’m not the biggest chocolate fan myself. I like creamy desserts much better. But these gummies are nice for a light treat 🙂
Are Knox gelatin and THM just gelatin interchangeable or totally different ?
They are interchangeable. Some brands can be stronger than others both in taste and gelling factors though.
This is a fantastic recipe!! My preschooler was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. ): This is such a fun snack for him! Low carb, high protein, packed with nutrition! I’ve already made it twice this week. Thank you so much!
(Note: the first time I made it in the blender. It became so foamy – maybe I overmixed? – that it was hard to fill those tiny bear molds. Just too many bubbles and not enough substance. Lol. The second time, I just whisked it according to your alternative directions, and that worked better for me and the small molds.)
Remember to soak gelatine in cold water and not just throw it in hot water, it can get really grainy.
I haven’t had that happen in this recipe. It dissolves quite easily in the blender.
So, one thing I’ve really been missing is the sour gummies like Trollies. Is it possible to coat these with citric acid or something to make them sour?
Yes, try the coating used in this recipe:
Sure, try rolling them in Malic Acid (Apple Acid) 🙂
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
They keep a couple weeks in the fridge.
My batch didn’t last 10 days in the fridge. Any suggestions?
It helps to keep them on a paper towel in the container to absorb excess moisture.
