I LOVE this recipe.

I use the base recipe FREQUENTLY  and then vary what goodness I pack in them.

I featured many flavours we use including our current top 3 favourites. 

Hopefully this is detailed clearly below xx

My girls enjoy them, they also love gifting them to friends that may feel unwell.

AND… request them for birthdays in addition to a treat in their lunch boxes. (Helps when you have a range of fun chocolate moulds for them to set in)

I hope you get as much joy out of different combinations as we do 

With love,

BASE

3 1/2 Tbsp of good quality grass fed (Organic pasture raised etc) gelatin

1/3 cup of cold filtered water

1 1/2 cups of flavour 

e.g green smoothie, frozen fruit, sweet herbal tea etc.

* OPTIONAL: fun chocolate moulds to set in but not necessary as you can cut them into squares if set in a dish or you can use ice cube moulds

EXTRAS

Vitamin C powder 

Probiotics

Veggie powder (I use veggie Hero by Nutra -organics)

Green powder or spirulina 

Lemon – Zest and juice

Zinc drops

Nut butter

Coconut cream

Nut mylk


METHOD

It’s great to bloom your gelatin first. Therefore combine your 3 1/2 Tbsp of gelatin with 1/3 cup of water stir quickly then allow to settle (watch it ‘Bloom’)

Heat your flavour eg. if it’s frozen fruit like raspberries stew until thick, or warm smoothie. Once flavour is warm add bloomed gelatin and dissolve completely.

Allow to cool and then add your desired powders- dissolve well.

*Note : If adding a probiotic ensure the liquid is cooled completely as to not destroy the bacteria.
