Gummies are a great way to get kiddos to have a healthy snack. Even big kids love gummies! Many of the gummies marketed to kids do not contain ideal ingredients. These strawberry gummies however, have clean ingredients and gut healing benefits too!
It’s often said that the gut is the seat of our health. Yep, unhealthy gut = unhealthy body.
Gelatin is known to be a wonderfully healing food for an inflamed, damaged gut given its ability to soothe and restore the gut lining. This is why bone broth is such a staple in our kitchen!

Gelatin is basically the cooked version of collagen, the most common protein found in animal tissue. Collagen makes up 25%-30% of the total protein in our bodies, but it is mostly found in cartilage, bones, and skin, and is only present in small amounts in muscle.
Gelatin can also help with digestion and gut health. Gelatin also reduces inflammation in the digestive tract, and supports normalized levels of gastric acids to help with proper digestion of other proteins.
This recipe takes no time at all to prepare and get into the fridge, and takes absolutely no cooking skills whatsoever!
