If you’ve ever wanted the benefits of apple cider vinegar without the harsh taste, my Healthy Homemade Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies are about to become a new staple. Made with real strawberries, fresh apple juice, raw honey, and grass fed gelatin, these little bites are naturally sweet, refined sugar free, and free from the artificial flavors and additives found in many store bought versions. They’re a simple way to support digestion, balance blood sugar, and promote gut health, all in a form the whole family actually enjoys.
They’re tangy, slightly fruity, and perfectly chewy. My family goes through these quickly, and once you try them, you’ll understand why.

Equipment You’ll Need
- Small blender
- Small saucepan
- Whisk
- Silicone gummy molds (any shape)
- Syringe or dropper for filling molds
- Airtight container for storage
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup organic apple juice (no added sugar)
- 6 to 7 large strawberries
- 1/2 cup organic apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons raw, unfiltered honey
- 4 tablespoons grass fed gelatin
How To Make Them
- Blend the strawberries in a small blender until completely smooth.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple juice, blended strawberries, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Bring the mixture to a very gentle boil. You want light bubbling, not a rolling boil.
- Slowly whisk in the gelatin, stirring continuously as you add it to prevent clumps. Once fully incorporated, turn off the heat.
- Using a syringe or dropper, carefully fill your gummy molds with the liquid mixture.
- Place the molds in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the molds to the refrigerator for another 10 minutes, or until fully set.
- Once firm, remove the gummies from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 1/2 weeks.
The total yield will vary depending on your mold size. I made 3 batches of 48 gummies, for a total of 144. My family eats about 4 to 6 per day, which lasts us just over a week.
Dietary Information
These gummies are refined sugar free and made with whole food ingredients. They are gluten free and dairy free.
They are not vegan due to the gelatin and honey. To make them vegetarian, you could experiment with agar agar instead of gelatin, though the texture will be slightly firmer and less chewy.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy 4 to 6 gummies daily as part of your morning routine or after meals to support digestion.
Pair them with:
- A balanced breakfast with protein and healthy fats
- A warm cup of herbal tea
- Your favorite smoothie for a gut friendly boost
They’re also perfect for packing in school lunches or keeping on hand for an afternoon pick me up.
Tips or Variations
- Use high quality apple cider vinegar with “the mother” for the most gut supporting benefits.
- If the flavor is too tangy, add an extra teaspoon of honey.
- Try swapping strawberries for raspberries or blended apple puree for a seasonal twist.
- Lightly oil your silicone molds if they tend to stick.
- Store in the coldest part of your refrigerator to maintain their firm texture.
Fun Fact
Apple cider vinegar has been used for centuries as a traditional wellness tonic. The “mother” found in raw, unfiltered versions contains beneficial enzymes and probiotics that support gut health.
Gelatin, when sourced from grass fed animals, contains collagen supporting amino acids that may benefit skin, hair, joints, and digestion.
FAQ’s
How many gummies should I take per day?
Most people enjoy 4 to 6 per day. You can adjust depending on your preference and tolerance to apple cider vinegar.
Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar?
You can, but the health benefits will be different. Lemon juice will give a bright citrus flavor rather than the classic ACV tang.
Why did my gummies turn out rubbery?
Too much gelatin or overcooking can cause a firmer texture. Measure carefully and avoid boiling the mixture too long. Turn off the heat as soon as you add the gelatin.
Can I freeze them for storage?
Yes, you can freeze them in an airtight container. Let them thaw in the refrigerator before eating.
