Immune gummies the kids will love! 🍊
These simple, delicious and healthy gelatin gummies are packed with immune-boosting ingredients.

Together, they cover lots of aspects of health and immunity – and taste amazing!

TIP:
If you make these in fun shapes (Kmart has some cute unicorn moulds) – they’re bound to be irresistible to kids of all ages.
You can apply this recipe to other fruit juices, however do not use pineapple, mango or papaya juice unless you have boiled it first. These fruits all contain bromelain, an enzyme that denatures the gelatin protein. It won’t set.
