How to make Homemade Vegan Gummies

When I was a kid, I would (believe it or not) pick sweets over chocolate any day! The thought of sour candies, gummy bears, sour worms and all things brightly coloured excited me beyond measure! These days I have definitely become more of a chocolate girl, but these vegan gummies will forever hold a special place in my heart for that reason.

Now, we all know that gummy bears are usually just sugar and food colouring. A lot of people would classify them as empty calories, and in some ways they are. Now don’t get me wrong, I love having a few Haribo gummies here and there. But truth is they provide little to no nutritional value! This version atlas involves using real fruit, 0 added refined sugar & takes a total of 5 minutes to whizz up! They are also naturally gluten free, which is such a win!

When I was little, I would always go for the blue flavoured gummy! For some reason, this gummy would always look and taste the best. I have included two varieties. One where the blueberries are juiced then strained ( to create a clear type gummy) and the other where the blueberries are left in as is (the colour goes a little murkier & darker).

Getting gummies to be blue was probably one of the hardest things to do! While I usually use blue spiralina, which can be used in this recipe. I am well aware that most readers probably do not have access to such an ingredient! I searched for many alternatives, and found that the best was to use a little natural blue food colouring. This ingredient is totally optional, but is important if you’re looking for a deep blue colour.

Now, I know it may seem a little intimidating! But, making your own gummies is SO INCREDIBLY EASY!

The best part about these vegan gummies is that they have no hidden nasties, are low calorie and great if you’re looking for something sweet to much at your desk or as an after dinner sweet snack
