Spinach Protein Gelatin Gummies

Mia

These innovative Spinach Protein Gelatin Gummies transform the concept of healthy snacking into a fun, nutrient-dense treat that perfectly aligns with Optavia's lean and green philosophy. Made with premium grass-fed gelatin, these emerald-green gummies pack an impressive protein punch while delivering the mineral-rich benefits of fresh spinach in a surprisingly delicious format. The natural sweetness from stevia keeps these treats sugar-free and diet-compliant, making them an ideal between-meal snack or post-workout recovery option.

Gelatin, the star ingredient, provides approximately 6 grams of protein per tablespoon and contains amino acids that support joint health, skin elasticity, and gut function. When combined with nutrient-dense spinach juice, these gummies become a powerhouse of iron, magnesium, and vitamins A and K. The mild, slightly sweet flavor profile makes it easy to forget you're eating your greens, while the chewy texture satisfies the desire for something fun and snackable without derailing your weight loss goals.

Perfect for meal prep, these gummies can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, providing convenient portion-controlled snacks that fit seamlessly into your Optavia fueling schedule. Each serving delivers lean protein without added sugars or unnecessary carbohydrates, making them an excellent choice for maintaining steady energy levels throughout the day. Whether you're looking to support your fitness recovery, boost your collagen intake, or simply enjoy a guilt-free treat, these gummies offer a creative solution that proves healthy eating doesn't have to be boring.

Instructions

1

Place the fresh spinach and water in a blender and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and no large pieces remain.

1 min
2

Strain the spinach mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a small saucepan, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. You should have approximately 1/2 cup of spinach juice.

2 min
3

Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface of the spinach juice in the saucepan and let it bloom undisturbed for 5 minutes. The gelatin will absorb the liquid and become thick.

5 min
4
4 min

Place the saucepan over low heat and gently warm the mixture, stirring constantly with a spoon or whisk, until the gelatin completely dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth and liquid, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let it boil.

5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the stevia extract, lemon juice, and pinch of salt until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

1 min
6

Carefully pour the warm gelatin mixture into silicone molds or a small glass container (approximately 4x6 inches) lined with parchment paper. Work quickly as the mixture will begin to set as it cools.

2 min
7

Transfer the molds or container to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the gummies are completely firm and set.

2h
8

Once set, remove the gummies from the molds or cut into 12 equal squares if using a container. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
