Ingredients You’ll Need for Raspberry Lemonade Electrolyte Gummies

• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup sugar substitute (like erythritol or stevia)
• 4 tablespoons gelatin powder (unflavored)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Optional: additional lemon zest for flavor

How to Make Raspberry Lemonade Electrolyte Gummies

1. In a blender, combine the raspberries, lemon juice, water, and sugar substitute. Blend until smooth and silky.
2. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds, allowing only the vibrant juice to remain.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the strained raspberry mixture over low heat, letting it warm gently.
4. Slowly sprinkle the gelatin into the warming mixture while whisking continuously until completely dissolved and glossy.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the salt. If you’re feeling zesty, add the lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor.
6. Pour the mixture into gummy molds, filling each cavity generously.
7. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours until fully set and firm to the touch.
8. Once set, pop the gummies out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Fun Ways to Customize It

• Berry Blend: Swap out the raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries for a delightful twist—each berry adds its own unique flavor and color!
• Herbal Harmony: Infuse your gummies with a hint of fresh mint or basil for a refreshing herbal note that complements the tartness of lemon beautifully.
• Supercharged Gummies: Mix in a scoop of your favorite superfood powder (like spirulina or matcha) for an extra nutrient boost—and a fun, vibrant color!
• Citrus Symphony: Experiment with different citrus juices such as lime or orange alongside the lemon for a zesty blend that sparkles with brightness.
