Probiotic Jello Snacks (Printable)

Gut-friendly fruit juice snacks with probiotics. Quick, easy, and perfect for all ages.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 2 cups 100% fruit juice (apple, grape, or mixed berry; avoid juices with added sugar or artificial sweeteners)

02 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

03 - 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder (use vegetarian gelatin for vegetarian version)

04 - 2 tablespoons plain probiotic yogurt or 2 capsules probiotic powder (open and use contents only)

01 - Pour 1½ cups of the fruit juice into a medium saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the juice and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

02 - Gently heat the mixture on low, stirring constantly, until the gelatin dissolves completely. Do not boil.

03 - Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining ½ cup cold juice and honey or maple syrup if using. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm temperature.

04 - Once cooled below 100°F, whisk in the probiotic yogurt or probiotic powder until fully incorporated.

05 - Pour the mixture into silicone molds or a glass baking dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

06 - Unmold or slice into cubes. Keep refrigerated until serving.

01 -

You're sneaking billions of beneficial bacteria into something that tastes like candy
The whole process takes maybe fifteen active minutes, then your fridge does all the heavy lifting

02 -

Killing your probiotics with heat is the tragic mistake everyone makes exactly once—seriously, let that mixture cool completely before adding anything live
Silicone molds pop out perfect shapes every time, but a glass dish works fine if you don't mind cutting them into little cubes yourself

03 -

Always taste your juice before starting—some brands are surprisingly acidic and might need that tablespoon of honey after all
Whisking the mixture right before pouring helps distribute any settled probiotics evenly throughout each piece
