    Free Guide! Feed a Family on a Low Carb Diet

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    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.

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups nearly boiling water
    • 4 packets True Lemon Lemonade or True Lime Limeade (I used Black Cherry Limeade in these)
    • 6-7 tablespoon gelatin (8-10 packets - less for a jello texture, more for a gummy texture)
    US Customary - Metric

    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 ¼ cup cold water in the bottom of a medium sized bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let sit for 5 minutes. Pour 1 ¾ 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.

      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.)5 stars

      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:

          It helps to keep them on a paper towel in the container to absorb excess moisture.

      Is it possible to replace the true lemon packets with something else for more flavor variety? Also, I have some gummy bear molds on the way for my gummies. Going to try this recipe first 🙂

        They have a lot of different flavors of the lemonade and limeade. Any sugar free drink mix should work. I have a few other gummy recipes too: https://joyfilledeats.com/?s=Gummies

          Can you substitute the limeade for sugar free jello mix? I'm diabetic and I don't eat any sugar. I noticed that the limeade listed stevia and sugar under its ingredients. Thanks 🙂

        • Taryn says

          October 24, 2019 at 2:33 pm

          I don't use sugar free jello because it has aspartame. The True Lime packs have 1 gram of sugar. This entire recipe (12 servings) uses 4. If you want to make a jello mix more firm I'm sure you could add extra gelatin but I haven't tried.

    7. sara says

      December 17, 2018 at 11:29 pm

      How much gelatin would I use to make jello? Is it better to get the limeade or true lime and add stevia?

      Reply
      • Taryn says

        December 18, 2018 at 5:11 pm

        I'd use half the amount listed. I haven't tried making these with true lime. It should work but I don't know how much you would use.

      I can't wait to try these. I use the true lime cherry thingy in my GGMS everyday and my kids are always wanting those. Do you think I could use some acv swapped with some of the water to give it an added health benefit?

        April 27, 2018 at 10:02 am

        I think so. As far as I know, the acid in the vinegar wouldn't hinder the gelatin from setting.

      I made them using ratio of 1 cup close to boiling water, 4 TBSP gelatin and 3 (3 gram) packets. The flavor, sweetness and firmness came out great! Used black cherry (liked that best of all), watermelon and peach lemonade. Thanks so much for the recipe!4 stars
