Alright, here we go. I’ve mentioned these electrolyte gummies on Instagram a couple of times, and every time, someone asks for the recipe. I’ve been trying different measurements and I think I finally got them just right. When you use too much gelatin, the texture gets weird. If you don’t use enough gelatin and the texture isn’t right.
The first time I tried making these electrolyte gummies, I didn’t use enough of my electrolyte powder and didn’t use the lemon juice, and the flavor wasn’t strong enough. There was SO much trial & error over here. SO. MANY. GUMMIES.
Ok, so why electrolyte gummies? Well, mostly because they’re fun. In the most basic terms, electrolytes help you stay hydrated. In general, I have a terrible habit of not drinking enough water throughout the day…but lots of coffee. So, I usually drink some type of electrolyte drink every day (this is my go-to brand). And these little gummies are a fun way to get those electrolytes in a different way. Plus, I just really like gummies.
When it comes to actually making these, you’ll definitely want some kind of silicone mold. I grabbed a gemstone-shaped one at a local craft store that has 12 wells. This recipe fills two 12-well molds, and 4 pieces make up “one serving.” If you want to order something quick, this little pixel heart mold looks like a fun one!
Now, when it comes to making these, you can use any flavor of electrolyte powder that you choose. You can even mix two flavors if you want to! For these photos, I made grape, pink lemonade, lemonade, and orange. (Side note, the orange ones taste just like orange popsicles.)
