Spring has finally arrived! Thank goodness. I wasn’t sure I could take one more day of winter. With the return of Spring came Day Lights Saving. I awoke Sunday morning thinking I actually slept in for once. I jumped out of bed ecstatic only to realize my phone automatic “sprung forward,” and I had in fact not slept in at all but actually woke up early. I could only stay mad at the trickery for so long since the sun shined until past 7pm! As a food blogger, it is amazing to be able to come home from work, cook dinner then shoot photos in a natural lit apartment.
When the weather turns warm, it reminds me of California and my days sipping green juice from my favorite fresh pressed juice shop. I’m a huge fan of gummies as you check out here, here and here. These detox green juice gummies are the perfect healthy treat. My nieces call these their incredible edible hulk gummies. You get a power punched bite of dark leafy greens, cleansing ginger and healing gelatin in these detox green juice gummies! These also make a fun and festive St. Paddy’s Day treat!
Ingredients
- 3 cups power greens, or kale and spinach
- 1 large cucumber
- 2 handfuls parsley
- 1 small lemon
- 1 fiji apple
- 1-in ginger
- 1/4 cup grass-fed gelatin
Directions
- Place all ingredients except gelatin through the juicer. Makes about 2 cups of juice.
- Pour juice into saucepot and bring to a light boil.
- Place into blender with gelatin and mix until smooth.
- Carefully pour juice into silicon molds or large glass dish.
- Pop into the fridge for two hours.
Notes
If you don't have a juicer, you can buy cold-pressed juice such as Evolve brand. You will need 2 cups or 16 ounces.
Enjoy!

Yum! These sound awesome! I’m still trying to catch up with day light savings…my girls have been sleeping late and going to bed late, so it is not my friend 😉
Can’t wait to make these!
these look awesome! I’ll have to try these this weekend!
What a great idea! I bet my kids would go nuts over these too. Love to find healthy snacks for them that they think are candy 🙂
I love sneaking in veggies! The apples makes them just sweet enough to taste like a treat!
As a recovering gummy bear addict, I think these will be awesome for me!
Yeah!! I used to love gummy bears too!
I need to get on the gummy wagon. These are beyond adorable!
Ahh thank you Rachel! Definitely make some gummies. It is so fun to play around with flavors!
this sounds great, but I don’t have a juicer. Do you think I could do this with a high powered blender and filter out any solids?
I definitely think you could blend the veggies in a blender then put them through a cheesecloth or nut bag!
Your recipe calls for 3 cups power green; however, if you don’t have this and juice the ingredients listed in the recipe, you say it makes 2 cups. So, my question is, ‘Do I use 3 cups or 2 cups of green juice for this recipe? Don’t want to have to much liquid. Thanks
You will need 2 cups of green juice for the recipe!
Do they need to stay refrigerated after they are made?
Yes these need to be refrigerated.
Can you post converted recipe for UK measures?
