Collagen Protein Gummy Bears
collagen protein gummy bears Recipe Collagen gummies are a popular choice for those seeking a delicious and convenient way to incorporate more collagen into their diet. These gummies are typically made by dissolving gelatin (a form of collagen) in liquid such as fruit juice or water, sweetening it with natural sweeteners like honey or stevia, and then setting it into gummy form using silicone molds. The result is a tasty treat that offers the benefits of collagen without the added sugars and artificial colors commonly found in traditional candy. Some popular flavors for collagen gummies include strawberry lemon, hot cinnamon cream, creamy mango mint, carrot & orange, peaches cream, coconut milk peaches honey, creamy mint chocolate, spiced apple pumpkin spice, raspberry honey frozen raspberries, apple lemon turmeric, and watermelon. These flavors not only make for an enjoyable eating experience but also offer additional health benefits from ingredients like antioxidant-rich fruits and anti-inflammatory turmeric. Can I use any type of juice for a different flavor? Yes, you can use any kind of juice–we prefer an all-natural fruit juice to keep the sugar contents down a little since you are already adding agave or honey. How long will these last? We recommend consuming these within a few days since the agar agar will slow down the shelf life but not completely stop it. Products from the Recipe We got the ingredients!

Pin Print Oil Free Almond Butter Recipe by Custom Curves Course: SidesCuisine: VeganDifficulty: Easy Servings 8 servingsPrep time 20 minutesCooking time 10 minutesCalories 231 kcal Ingredients 2 cups raw almonds 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional) 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional) Directions Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10 minutes until they become fragrant and slightly golden. This step helps to enhance the flavor of the almonds. Allow the roasted almonds to cool completely before proceeding to the next step. This will prevent them from turning into almond butter too quickly. Once cooled, transfer the almonds to a high-powered blender or food processor. You can also use a mortar and pestle if you prefer a chunkier texture. Blend or process the almonds on high speed for about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally. At first, the almonds will turn into a fine powder resembling almond flour. As you continue blending, the almonds will release their natural oils and start clumping together. Keep blending until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. This may take some time, so be patient. If desired, add salt and sweetener of your choice (honey or maple syrup) to enhance the flavor of your almond butter. Blend for an additional minute to incorporate these ingredients evenly. Once you have reached your desired consistency, transfer the oil-free almond butter to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Notes It’s important to use raw almonds for this recipe, as roasted almonds may already contain added oils. If you prefer a crunchy almond butter, you can reserve a small portion of the roasted almonds and chop them finely. Stir them into the creamy almond butter once it’s ready. Feel free to adjust the sweetness and saltiness according to your taste preferences. Oil-free almond butter is a type of almond butter that is made without the addition of any oils. Almond butter is typically made by grinding almonds into a smooth and creamy paste, similar to peanut butter. While some commercial brands of almond butter may contain added oils, such as vegetable oil or palm oil, oil-free almond butter is made solely from almonds. Oil-free almond
