Clean Eating Gummies

Desserts & TreatsWhitney Carlson1 Comment

Candy was one of the hardest things to give up for me when I first started eating clean. I had a SERIOUS sugar addiction! Eventually, it because easier and since, I have experimented with ways to quench a sweet craving with natural ingredients rather than processed sugars, corn syrup and other things I know better than to have!  Here is one of my new favorite recipes:

Clean Sweet-but-Tart Gummies

adapted from www.rethinksimple.com

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 c Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice (Approximately 8-10 limes depending upon size)
  • 3 TBSP Local Raw Honey
  • 3.5 TBSP Agar Powder
  • 1/3 c Stevia in the Raw

Directions:

1. Combine lime juice, local honey and agar powder in a small sauce pan. Whisk to combine on low heat.

2. Once combined, remove from heat (this should only take a minute or two).

3. Pour in a square baking pan and place in refrigerator for approximately 2 hours.

4. Remove gummies from pan and slice into 1"x1" cubes.

5. Roll cubes in stevia for added sweetness.

These are so simple, yet so delicious!
