Strawberry Apple Gummy Fruit Snacks

What kid doesn’t like fruit snacks? And gummies? And strawberries and apples? Sure, there are some out there but most kids absolutely love gummies and fruit snacks.

These gummy fruit snacks were created out of necessity of hidden nutrition. I have started trying things like smoothies with hidden veggies and hemp protein powder, and yummy tasting snacks such as these Strawberry Apple Gummy Fruit Snacks.

The gelatin in these gummy fruit snacks is a healthy source of collagen!

Most people these days are not getting as much gelatin as our ancestors used to because we no longer eat all of the parts of the animals. The type of protein that is provided by gelatin is full of amino acids that are REALLY great for your hair, skin, and nails; not to mention digestive health. The collagen that is readily available in gelatin (I prefer grass fed gelatin) can also be found in bone broths as well, but I prefer sweet treats when given the choice!

Making gummies or fruit snacks might seem daunting but if you can make jello, you can make gummy fruit snacks! The great thing about these is if your child (or you) don’t love the flavor combo, you can change it up with most anything.

Let’s get to the kitchen shall we? Please note, ingredient links are affiliate links. Thank you for your support.

About Christina

Christina Anthis is The Hippy Homemaker. She is 29 years old and the mother of one miraculous three year old boy, Silas Thor (also known as Syfy). After going through many health problems and surgeries, Christina had nowhere else to turn but to a \\\\"hippier\\\\" lifestyle, in hopes of finding the answer. She did her research, read a lot of books, and taught herself the basics to change her family over to a greener lifestyle. A couple months after making the switch, and getting rid of all of the chemicals in her cleaning supplies and beauty products, she noticed that the nerve pains that she used to suffer from constantly, had diminished so much so, that she was actually living and enjoying life the way that she used to.

When Christina made the choice to try a vegetarian diet, her husband Andy (whom she affectionately calls \\\\"The Hippy Husband\\\\"), jumped on board with her, to support the healthier lifestyle she was trying to forge for their family. A few months of eating without meat brought the most surprising side effect of all; Christina\\\\\'s narcolepsy was completely gone, and she was able to function Aderall free.

Always one to care for people, animals, and our Mother Earth; Christina has found her calling by writing for her blog, The Hippy Homemaker. On The Hippy Homemaker, she shares her journey to a healthier and more conscious lifestyle for her family, through vegan and vegetarian recipes, healthier and greener ways to clean, non-toxic beauty products that you can make in your own home, and non-toxic cheaper DIY kids crafts.

Never in a million years would I have thought you could make gummy snacks. I guess I really never thought about it! This also gave me inspiration to do a apple-strawberry homemade baby food combo. One day I will try the snacks!
