Fruit snacks are a common staple for many kids these days. They are easy, sweet and chewy. Kids love them.

But have you ever actually looked at the ingredients? Many contain artificial flavors and colors. Even if you get natural or organic fruit snacks they contain things like caranuba wax and “natural” flavor.

Natural flavor is actually not that different from artificial flavor

Homemade gummies

These strawberry kiwi gummies are both fun and fruity. The juice of real strawberries and kiwis is combined with grass-fed gelatin for a protein-packed, nourishing snack.

The flesh of strawberries and kiwis does not gel very well (trust me…it took three attempts to get gummies that would come out of the molds!). But if you squeeze the juice out you’ll create amazing gummies. Plus you don’t have to worry about seeds.

Strawberry kiwi gummies aren’t just for spring and summer. You can enjoy them all year long since frozen strawberries actually work best. This is a great recipe to use up any remaining strawberries from last year’s freezer stash before you go strawberry picking again.

It only takes about ten minutes of hands on time to make strawberry kiwi gummies. And your kids can help with most of the work. They’ll have so much fun squeezing the juice out!

No need to waste the leftover fruit pulp. It is already sweetened and can be mixed into plain yogurt or oatmeal for a delicious breakfast. Use it as a topping for pancakes, waffles or even ice cream! Use it as is or puree it to make a sauce.

I like to keep a batch of gummies on hand in the refrigerator for easy snacks and fun additions to school lunches.

Are you looking for a new fruity treat for your kids? Try strawberry kiwi gummies. Everyone will love them.

Kiwi fruits as well as pineapple, mango and papaya contain certain enzymes which dissolve protein – gelatin is an animal protein. This is why a combination of gelatin and these kind of fruits doesn’t gel well. There is no such a problem if you use agar instead. Chemically it is a carbohydrate, not protein. Intriguing why strawberries were causing similar problem. They should work well together with gelatin.

Hello,
These look really good but I want to confirm 2 things.
1: how many ounces do I need to make these gummies?
2: I heard that kiwi doesn’t do well at solidifying, so will these work? I use the Vital Proteins (beef) brand. I don’t want to waste ingredients! Thanks.

Hi,
So before I make these I want to confirm 2 things.
1: How many ounces of gelatin do I need for this recipe?
2: I heard that kiwi sometimes doesn’t solidify so will this recipe work? I don’t want to waste ingredients! Thanks!
