Raspberry Lemonade Electrolyte Gummies

These raspberry lemonade electrolyte gummies are easy to make, are packed with protein and keto and kid friendly!

I’m a huge fan of electrolytes.

I know . . . it’s a very strange thing to be a fan of, but it’s true! We’re told to drink a TON of water each day and I learned the hard way that JUST drinking a ton of water does not mean you’re actually hydrating yourself.

You actually need ELECTROLYTES to balance out the water that stays in your body and without that, you’re really just pissing all your effort away . . . literally.

There are a lot of ways you can get electrolytes into the body, but these raspberry lemonade gummies not only use an electrolyte supplement but they also pack a high protein and collagen punch by using gelatin. Kids, adults and skeptical husbands love them and you can make them in a variety of flavors depending on which electrolyte powder you decide to use.

What are electrolytes?

Electrolytes are minerals that have an electric charge. They help keep the body’s fluid in balance. Electrolyte minerals are:

Magnesium
Potassium
Sodium
Calcium

How do I make electrolyte gummies?

To make electrolyte gummies, you’ll need electrolyte powder, gelatin, water, the juice from one lemon and a silicone mold or silicone muffin tins.

First, add 1 cup of water to a small sauce pan and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of gelatin in making sure none of it clumps. This helps the gelatin to “bloom” and will seem grainy at first, but whisk it until fully combined.

Next put the water and gelatin over low heat and keep whisking until gelatin fully dissolves into a clear liquid. It is important that the water is hot but not boiling.

Next, add gelatin liquid to a 2 cup measuring cup and whisk in the juice of one lemon and one scoop of electrolyte powder until fully combined.

Pour and portion into preferred silicone mold, and set in fridge for at least one hour before popping out of the molds and enjoying.

Store raspberry lemonade electrolyte gummies in fridge for up to 2 weeks.

What electrolyte supplement powder can I use?

There are many electrolyte powder supplements you can use, I prefer Ultima Replenisher in either raspberry or pomegranate cherry, but here are some others you could use:

What is gelatin and which one do I buy?

Gelatin is a water soluble protien that is derived from collagen. Once gelatin is mixed into hot water and cooled, it turns into a jello texture.

IMPORTANT: Collagen peptides are NOT the same as gelatin. Collagen peptides is processed in a way that will dissolve in hot AND cold liquid and will NOT produce the jello effect.

The best collagen gelatin to buy:

Great Lakes Gelatin (the ORANGE canister)

Vital Proteins (the GREEN canister)

Silicone Molds:

You can use any silicone mold you like for making electrolyte gummies. I purchased my regluar square one at a craft store in the baking section, but they can easily be purchased online.

Before I purchased my silicone mold that I used now, I used silicone muffin tins I had laying around.

My favorite silicone molds:

Square Silicone Mold (the one I have)

Gummy Mold Variety Pack

Gummy Bear Mold Kit

Salted Chocolate Paleo Brownies

December 19, 2018 by Thyme and JOY Leave a Comment

These salted chocolate paleo brownies are made with almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar and coconut oil and are naturally gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free. This paleo chocolate brownie recipe is the perfect healthy treat.

The idea of a paleo brownie is interesting, isnt it?

Although paleo brownies and sweets are made with natural ingredients, there is no way in HELL people in our ancestral times were chowing down on brownies.

The good news is, our generation CAN eat paleo chocolate brownies. We’re able to take simple ingredients and not chemicals to turn them into a delicious chocolate treat without any gluten.

These paleo brownies have a little twist by being sprinked with some high quality salt. The combination of salted chocolate is too amazing to pass up.

It’s the reason that chocolate covered pretzels are so addicting and also the reason that chocolate covered bacon is a thing. I’m down.

How do you make a Paleo Brownie?

The instructions for making a paleo brownie recipe are the same as a regular brownie recipe but with some simple ingredients swaps.

You’ll take a dry mix of almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, coconut sugar, gelatin and salt and whisk it in a bowl.

In another bowl, you add your wet ingredients like your egg and coconut oil.

Once you combine these together, fold in paleo or dairy free chocolate chips then pour the batter into a pan for baking.

Add finishing salt on top and bake until they are gooey chocolate brownies.

Are Paleo Brownies Healthy?

This is a loaded question in my opinion. Health means so many different things to every different person.

While you could say that a salted chocolate paleo brownie isn’t “healthy” it is arguably more healthy in terms of the ingredients in the recipe.

This means if it were to be in a health contest between it and a boxed brownie mix, the paleo brownie would probably win.

But, to each their own!

What kind of salt do you use for Salted Chocolate Paleo Brownies?

You want to make sure you are using a high quality sea salt. You can definitely taste the difference!

My favorite finishing salt of all time is Maldon Sea Salt flakes. They make all food taste amazing and they are incredibly picturesque!
