Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fruit chopped
  • 1/4 cup vegetables chopped (and peeled if necessary)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup pure apple juice no added sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons raw honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 Tablespoons gelatin preferably collagen, grass-fed
  • 1 cup green grapes
  • 1/4 cup spinach
  • 1 cup strawberries diced
  • 1/4 cup beets
  • 1 cup peaches chopped
  • 1/4 cup carrots
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1/4 cup zucchini

Instructions

  1. Prepare molds: Place silicone molds on a large baking sheet or line an 8×8’ square dish with wax paper and lightly grease, set aside.
  2. Blend ingredients: Place fruit, vegetable and ¼ cup apple juice in the container of a high powered blender (Vitamix) and secure the lid.
  3. Blend smooth: Turn the machine on and slowly increase the speed to high. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth. (add more juice 1 Tablespoon at a time if necessary, until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency).
  4. Add honey and vanilla: Add honey and vanilla and blend until smooth
  5. Taste mixture: Taste mixture and add more honey, if desired.
  6. Add gelatin: Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and whisk in gelatin.
  7. Heat mixture: Heat on medium heat until gelatin is dissolved and mixture is no longer grainy (about 3 minutes).* Make sure it does not boil.
  8. Fill molds: Using a dropper, fill the silicone molds. Or pour your mixture into your prepared baking pan. (I suggest keeping the saucepan on the warm burner (with the heat source turned off) as you fill the molds. That way the mixture remains slightly warm and cools more slowly).
  9. Chill to set: Transfer to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours.
  10. Remove and serve: Once set remove from molds and enjoy. If using a baking dish, remove from the dish, cut and serve or store.

Notes

  • Make sure the gelatin mixture does not boil while heating.
  • Keep the saucepan warm but off heat while filling molds to keep mixture smooth.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey as desired.
