This healthy gummy bears recipe is the easiest sweet recipe ever, plus it contains no gelatine, dairy, gluten or nuts. The secret ingredient is agar-agar powder, which is a plant-based alternative to gelatine made from certain species of algae. It is 100% vegan and can be used to make jellies, puddings, and custards. You can get Agar Agar here.
I loved experimenting with Naturelly products to see if I could come up with a healthy gummy bear recipe and I am pleased to share the final results with you! What I love about this gummy bears recipe is that they’re not overly sweet, yet they still feel and taste like the real thing. 
This recipe makes 150 gummy bears, so you can feed a whole army of kids and adults with it! To add different flavours and colours, I used beetroot powder and a touch of green tea, but you don’t have to add anything as you can just use Naturelly Jelly Juice, a touch of sweetener and agar agar. If you don’t have maple syrup, feel free to use agave or honey. 
If you want to be a bit more creative with the colours and flavours, follow the exact recipe below. You can get the gummy bear moulds with a pipette here. Due to its small size, it takes only about 10-15 minutes for them to firm up and pop out.
Here's the healthy gummy bears recipe
