Recipe substitutions & variations 

Recipe substitutions

Pomegranate juice substitutes: instead of using pomegranate juice, you can use literally any other kind of juice you want! This includes orange juice, apple, grapefruit, peach, strawberry, cherry, and even vegetable juices like carrot if you want to get really fancy.

Bottled juice substitutes: instead of using bottled juice, you can often find fresh squeezed juice at your local supermarket or health food store. Or alternatively, if you have your own juicer, you can make any type of juice that you want. If you end up with more juice than the recipe calls for, adjust the amount of gelatin as needed.

Organic/grass fed gelatin powder substitutes: If you can’t access organic and/or grass fed gelatin powder, you can also use non-organic gelatin powder. Use the same amount.

Recipe variations

Increase the amount of gelatin: if you want to access more of the healing benefits of gelatin in this recipe, you can use up to 4 tablespoons of gelatin with the same amount of liquid.

Reduce the amount of sugar: If you are watching your sugar intake, you can cut down the amount of juice that you use and add additional water to make up for the lost liquid. Also make sure to look for juices that are not from concentrate as they tend to be more tart and lower in sugar.

Pro tips for this gelatin gummies recipe

Pro tip #1: Make sure to spray your silicon moulds with coconut oil cooking spray. This will ensure that the gummies will not break or stick to the moulds when you pull them out. This is especially important if you want them to look pretty! If you don’t care how they look then it’s all good if you don’t spray them. You can also put them in the freezer after they have set and this will allow them to pop out a little bit more easily.

Pro tip #2: before you pour the pomegranate juice gelatin mixture into your silicon moulds, place the moulds on top of a baking sheet or pan. This will catch any liquid that spills, and will make it super easy to move the moulds into the fridge to set. Because silicon moulds are super floppy, you will spill juice everywhere if you try to lift them up with your hands.
