This week’s Make it Paleo: The Experience comes not from Bill & Hayley’s best selling book but from their uber popular blog Primal Palate. I choose this recipe because I get ton of questions regarding healthy snacks to have around and while I think that a lot of the time this question can simply be remedied by increasing the size of your meals or increasing healthy fats it is nice to have something to nibble on from time to time. That being said, not only is this a tasty treat but gelatin has great health benefits as well!
Here are some benefits of gelatin*:
- Supports skin, hair & nail growth
- Helps improve skin elasticity
- Naturally binds to water and assists food as it moves through the digestive track
- Great source of dietary collagen
- Source of protein
- Good for joints and can aid in joint recovery
Lemon Blueberry Gummies

Instructions:
- Place lemon juice and blueberries into a heavy sauce pan, and heat over medium heat.

- Remove the lid and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
