How to Nourish LLC

Let’s make gut healing gelatin gummies.

Gelatin is a great whole food that nourishes the lining of your gut to help it stay healthy and strong. A weak gut lining can lead to “leaky gut” which means that the lining of your gut is permeable, letting things through that shouldn’t get into your bloodstream. Over time, this can create food sensitivities and a host of other issues.

If you want to nourish your gut, these delicious gummies use real fruit juice, high-protein gelatin, and minerals. They make a great snack between meals.

Our kid-approved favorite juice flavors are grape, tart cherry, and pear, but there are so many good ones! You can even combine juices to make your own flavors.

– 32 oz jar of your favorite organic juice
– 1/3 cup gelatin powder (not collagen!)
– large pinch of sea salt

Add the full bottle of juice to a medium saucepan off the heat. Sprinkle about half the gelatin over the juice and let sit to bloom. You will know it has bloomed when it wrinkles up and most of the gelatin is transparent. Use a whisk to mix it together well, then sprinkle the rest of the gelatin and let it bloom again. Most of the gelatin should be transparent at this point, but the rest will mix in.

Turn your stove to medium and continue to whisk the juice while over the heat. Once you start to see some steam but before it boils, turn off the heat and mix in the sea salt.

Line a baking dish with parchment paper. I tend to use our 8x8” because we like a thicker gummy, but a 9x13” would also work well. Carefully pour your juice mixture into the dish. It helps if you touch the whisk with the saucepan as you’re pouring so it doesn’t splash. Use the whisk to push the parchment out to the sides so it’s as smooth as possible.

Carefully place the dish into the fridge and let it set for at least six hours, or overnight if possible. Use a sharp knife to slice as desired. Enjoy!

Store in the fridge in a closed container for up to a week.

PRACTITIONERS ARE RARELY PERFECT.

Real talk…

As I continue to build my business, I am constantly reminded of my imperfections as a practitioner and a human. It’s crazy how much we can know but overlook in our own lives when we are busy and stressed.

I know that hydration is incredibly important, but I’m drinking so little water right now that I actually had a spell of vertigo yesterday. It was terrifying and eye-opening to how much stress is affecting me despite what I know about it.

The lesson to be learned from this? Your mind can be a weapon if you let it. My worry is ruling my days and ultimately impacting my health.

Mamas, we are going to be stressed sometimes, but we need to figure out how to set ourselves free. Life is busy, but we can take small moments to relax and breathe. To pray and ease our mind. To sit in the sun and drink some water.

My personal lesson during this season is to let go and trust the process. Do not trust my thoughts, but instead trust that my path is already outlined. I don’t need to worry at all. It will come in time. Life will balance out once again, but in the meantime I need to take care of myself and stop worrying so much about what others think I should be.

Worry is just meditation pointed in the wrong direction.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” – Romans 12:2

What are you worrying about right now that you can let go of?

Macro-friendly date caramel with protein!

Why add protein to this recipe?

"No naked carbs" is a great thing to remember – you should always be pairing protein and carbs together to ensure your blood sugar doesn't spike and lead to a crash in an hour or two.

For example, naked carbs for breakfast and/or lunch are a big reason many see a huge energy crash around 2pm.

Note: Protein content of this recipe will vary based on your collagen powder.
