21 Healthy Homemade Gummies Your Kids Will Love!

Sharing is caring!

All of my kids love gummies. It doesn't matter if it's gummy bears, gummy worms or any kind of gummy snack. Luckily you can easily make homemade gummies that are SO much healthier. Put your hands together for DIY gummies!

Fruit snacks. You are rarely going to find a kid that doesn't like fruit snacks.

Now me, I am not a fan of gummy snacks or any chewy candy for that matter.

Give me chocolate any day!

But for those who enjoy a chewy snack, luckily there are a ton of healthy homemade gummy recipes that are super easy to make.

Think about all of those packages of fruit snacks that are just sitting there in the food aisle, waiting to be bought.

Have you ever picked up a box and actually read what is in them?

Let me tell you...not much of anything good really. Dyes and other words I can't pronounce line the ingredient list and make for a less than stellar experience trying to convince myself that these gummies are something that my kids even need.

In fact, I've realized that each and every time I have the chance to make something myself, it turns out better!

And the ingredient list is quite a bit smaller than those fruit snacks you'll find in your local grocery store.

These gummies can be put together very quickly usually with 3-4 ingredients:

Fruit, Veggies, or both or juice
Grass Fed Gelatin
Raw Honey or Other Sweetener

Say goodbye to chemicals, so goodbye to dyes and say hello to a fresh new world of eating healthier!

Will your kiddos like the taste of homemade gummies?

While I can't say for certain, I can assure you that my kids love them.  

I'm convinced, without a doubt, that they actually like to eat their fruits and veggies when it comes to these homemade gummies!

Choosing a High-Quality Gelatin

Gelatin is considered by many to be a superfood, but you don't just want to use any old gelatin in your gummy recipes. Be sure to choose a high-quality grass-fed gelatin like this one.

Enough chit-chat, now on to the Chewy Goodness!

  5. Oh those look delicious! My kids would love those! Love!! Thank you for linking up at my craft party! I pinned your entries! Hope you can make it again on Thursday at 7pm EST.!

  6. How long do these last for? can i make a big batch and store them or should i make them regularly?

    1. I would recommend freezing them if you make a big batch and pulling them out when you need them. 🙂

  7. Hi. I just came across your link via pinterest. I was just wondering could you use any silicone tray for these? I just brought the gummy bear tray but I see there are many different shapes that you can do and try.

  8. My kids love gummies and I spend a lot of money buying them. This is really a big help. I will try this with my kids over the weekend.

  9. These recipes look amazing! Is there a way to make them vegan by using fruit pectin instead of gelatin? I've been able to swap out gelatin for pectin in several recipes, like jelly, and was hoping to make these awesome treats for my little ones soon. Any thoughts?
