If you’re looking for a delicious way to boost your protein intake, support hydration, and add a little collagen to your day, these homemade gummies are one of my new favorite recipes.
They’re naturally sweetened with allulose and stevia, flavored with Cure Hydration, and made with both grass-fed gelatin and collagen peptides. The result? A chewy, fruity gummy that’s packed with protein and electrolytes.
Whether you enjoy them after a workout, on a hot summer day, or simply as a healthier alternative to candy, these gummies are an easy way to sneak a little extra collagen into your daily routine.
Why You’ll Love These Gummies
- High in protein
- Made with collagen peptides and gelatin
- Naturally sweetened with allulose and stevia
- Provides electrolytes from Cure Hydration
- No artificial colors or sweeteners
- Easy to make in under 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 200 mL water
- 1 packet (18 g) unflavored gelatin
- 10–20 g unflavored collagen peptides
- 35–40 g allulose
- 10–15 drops liquid stevia (adjust to taste)
- 1 packet Cure Hydration (any flavor)
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon citric acid for a tangier, candy-like flavor
Instructions
- Pour the water into a small saucepan.
- Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Heat gently over low heat, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
- Whisk in the allulose until dissolved.
- Add the collagen peptides and whisk until completely smooth.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the Cure Hydration packet, liquid stevia, and citric acid if using.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. The mixture should taste slightly sweeter than you’d like the finished gummies, as flavors become more muted once chilled.
- Carefully pour into silicone gummy molds. I like to use a dropper for this.
- Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes, or until fully set.
A Fun Way to Add More Collagen
I love finding simple ways to incorporate collagen into my day beyond coffee or smoothies, and these gummies have become one of my favorites. They make a fun afternoon snack, a post-workout treat, or an easy grab-and-go option when I want a little extra protein.
Because they’re flavored with Cure Hydration, every bite also contains electrolytes, making them especially refreshing after exercise, travel, or spending time in the heat.
Why I Use Cure Hydration
I’ve been using Cure Hydration for years because I love the clean ingredient list, the coconut water powder base, and the delicious flavors. It makes these gummies taste amazing without artificial sweeteners or artificial colors.
