Equipment

Small pot
Gummy Molds

Ingredients

¼ cup Unflavoured Gelatin Powder
2 Scoops Clear Protein Powder of choice SEE NOTES ABOUT NUTRITION!
1 cup Water

Instructions

In a small pot, whisk together protein powder and gelatin. Add water, continue whisking until no lumps remain.
Heat mixture over low heat, whisking constantly, until gelatin is completely dissolved and mixture is smooth. Turn heat down to lowest setting
Working quickly, pour mixture into clean gummy molds. (You can use an eye dropper, but it’s way fussier and sets really fast!)
Allow gummies to set - it'll take an hour or so at room temperature, or 10-15 minutes if refrigerated.
I like to allow it to gel a bit - about 10 minutes - at room temperature before chilling. It lowers the chances of a messy spill when transferring to the fridge!
Once set, pop candies out of the mold and transfer to an airtight container or zipper baggie.

Notes

Nutritional Information does NOT include the protein powder, as those values vary wildly from brand to brand. To find out the full nutrition of this recipe, simply add the information for 1 serving of your protein powder, to the nutritional info provided in this recipe card.

Depending on the protein powder used, your gummies may end up with some degree of "bloom" on them after sitting for a few hours or chilling. They may not be as cute, but they're just as tasty and effective

If you use a “sour” variety of protein powder, you’ll have a fair amount of foam. You can premix the protein and water and let it chill ahead of time, to get rid of some of it... but it’ll foam up again as you whisk in the gelatin. It’s a fun texture when it sets, though!

Try to use these within a few days. Will stay fresh in a baggie in the fridge for a week or so.

If you want to do smaller batches to be able to make mixed servings, you can do ½ cup water, 1 scoop protein powder, and 1 ½ tablespoon gelatin

If you don't have gummy molds, you can just pour the whole batch into a 9x13 pan, cutting into squares when set. Alternatively, silicone mini muffin pans work great!
