Looking for a Jello Jigglers recipe, one that’s made with real gelatin perfect for gut healing?

Here is something common I hear/question I get asked all the time from people who make my bone broth,

Ew. I put my bone broth in the fridge and when I went to take it out, there was all this gel-like stuff on top. I shouldn’t drink that, right?

Wrong. Drink up. No, you don’t need to lick the gelatin right then and there, but heat your broth up on the stove, and it will melt right in.

Gelatin does wonders for the gut.

In fact, I have an entire post dedicated to gelatin’s benefits.

But here are my 3 favorite ways gelatin helps the gut healing process:

1. Gelatin improves digestion by naturally binding to water to helps food move through the digestive tract more easily.
2. It helps heal the lining of the stomach, so for the Gutsy women with a leaky gut, this could be a key addition to help you heal.
3. Gelatin is anti-inflammatory, which also helps in healing the gut.

I always consume a lot of bone broth throughout the day. In fact, I have since about 2009, and likely will forever.

But then a couple months back, my friend Marci reminded me about how awesome Jello is and that even though we are Gutsy, there is still a way to bring the Jello addiction back into our lives.

I quickly headed to Perfect Supplements to grab the gelatin along with other goodies (obv).

Note: Whenever you purchase from Perfect Supplements, be sure to use code GUTSY10 at checkout to always save 10% on anything and everything from them.

And when my gelatin arrived, I began to play.

Here are some fun gelatin recipes I’ve created:

• Pumpkin Pie Filling (will be in my 2013 Unprocessed Holiday ebook)
• No-Bake Acorn Brûleé (also in my 2013 Unprocessed Holiday ebook)
• these Pomegranate Homemade JELLO Jigglers
• Coconut Pudding

Note: just because the word “gelatin” sounds scary, know that it is odorless and tasteless.

Finger Jello

Why make plain ‘ole Jello when you can make finger Jello, you know – jigglers?!

And furthermore, why would you make regular H2O and/or juice Jello when you can use tea as this base for the Jello Jigglers?

I like using anything Traditional Medicinals because they are the chocolate to my peanut butter, cream to my coffee.

How to Make Jello

So this is straight up gelatin.

And this is the gelatin once mixed with the tea.

Now keep in mind, and this is very important. When you make Jello, you must use gelatin vs collagen.

Thought gelatin and collagen are essentially the same thing, they do not perform the same when added to liquids.

Moving on.

These are the festive pomegranates we all love.

That, and of course some cute cookie cutters, are all you’ll need to form your Jigglers.

How cute is this cowboy hat? <– you knew I would!

Jello Jigglers Recipe {Pomegranate flavor}

 

Note: You can add your own sugar or “sweetener” to make these sweeter if you want. The reason I don’t is that I didn’t need it since the pomegranates add natural sugar to each bite.

If you like the pomegranate-sweetened taste, you could always add more than 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds or even crush them to extract pomegranate juice and add to the gelatin/water mixture in the beginning.

If you’re desperate for even more sweetness, then swap some of the tea liquid for pomegranate juice.

In general, just play with it – and enjoy:)

PS. THANK YOU all for each and every single comment about our little miracle. My cup continues to runneth over….each second that passes.
