Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups diced mango chunks, thawed if frozen
- 1 medium carrot, steamed until soft
- 2 tablespoons honey, plus more to taste
- 1/4 cup water
- 5 tablespoons grass-fed beef gelatin powder
- 2 cups halved strawberries
- 1 small beet, steamed until soft
- 2 tablespoons honey, plus more to taste

- 5 tablespoons grass-fed beef gelatin powder
Instructions
- Line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
- Place the chosen fruit and steamed vegetable in a high-speed blender.
- Add the water and honey, then blend for at least 5 minutes until extremely smooth.
- Taste the puree and add more honey if needed, then blend again.
- Pour the puree into a wide, heavy-bottomed pot and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface.
- Leave the gelatin untouched for 5 minutes until the surface looks wrinkled.
- Place the pot over medium heat and whisk constantly until the gelatin dissolves and the mixture becomes completely smooth. Do not boil.
- Pour the smooth mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
- Repeat the process with the second fruit and vegetable combination.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or overnight for the firmest texture.
- Lift the set fruit snack sheet from the pan and cut it into small shapes with mini cutters or kitchen scissors.
- Store the finished fruit snacks in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
