Ingredients
Electrolyte Mixture
- 1 scoop Electrolyte Powder (raspberry lemonade flavor recommended)
- 1 Lemon, juiced
- 1 cup Water
Gelling Agent
- 2 tbsp Gelatin
Equipment
- 1 Silicone Mold of choice
Instructions
- Bloom the Gelatin: Add 1 cup of water to a small saucepan and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of gelatin evenly over the surface, ensuring there are no clumps. This blooming step is critical to hydrate the gelatin and will appear grainy at first. Whisk thoroughly until the gelatin is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Place the saucepan over low heat and gently warm the mixture, whisking continuously until the gelatin completely dissolves and the liquid turns clear. Make sure the water is hot but not boiling to preserve gelatin’s gelling properties.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the warm gelatin liquid to a 2-cup measuring cup. Add the freshly squeezed juice of one lemon and one scoop of raspberry lemonade electrolyte powder. Whisk until fully combined and smooth in consistency.
- Pour and Set: Pour the mixture into your silicone mold evenly. Place the mold in the refrigerator and allow the gummies to set for at least one hour until firm.
- Serve and Store: Once set, pop the gummies out of the silicone molds and enjoy immediately. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- If you prefer a different flavor of electrolyte powder, omit the lemon juice and proceed with the recipe as usual for a customized taste.
- Ensure the water used to dissolve the gelatin is hot but not boiling to avoid compromising the gelatin’s setting ability.
- Use silicone molds as they make it easier to remove the gummies once set.
- These gummies make a great natural alternative to store-bought electrolyte supplements, especially for those seeking a low-calorie, protein-rich option.
