recipe
1. heat pineapple juice over medium-high heat until it starts to boil. you have to boil juice because it contains an enzyme called bromelain that helps us break down protein. if we don’t break down the bromelain, it breaks down the gelatin, and the mixture doesn’t gel.
2. remove from heat and slowly stir in the honey and gelatin. mix thoroughly until it is all completely blended.
3. pour mix into a silicone holder and place in the fridge. allow it to set for a couple of hours in the fridge. you can also use a cake or loaf pan that is lined with parchment paper and then just cut squares out of it!
4. remove the gummies and enjoy!

when to eat
whenever, really! as a snack, dessert, or even first thing in the morning if you don't feel too hungry or lack an appetite. This will at least get a little protein (gelatin) and a little fat (coconut milk) first thing in the morning to get your GI-tract flowin'
