We have been loving these coconut pineapple gummies as an easy make ahead snack this summer! They are so portable to take with you when you’re headed out the door.
They offer a good mix of carbohydrate, fat, and amino acids from the beef gelatin. Yes, I said beef gelatin!! Beef gelatin is a beneficial source of amino acids. It contains a high concentration of the amino acid glycine. Gycine is a precursor to antioxidant production, it may help promote sleep, and is another precursor to helping your body make creatine. On top of all of that beef gelatin is thought to be beneficial for gut wall integrity.
What a great snack for our little ones (and ourselves!)
