Pink Gelatin Marshmallows YUM!

These fluffy pink gelatin marshmallows are not only delicious, but they’re a perfect hormone-balancing snack. 

Beef gelatin is an excellent source of collagen, which is great for our digestive health as well as our skin, hair and nails. And it’s also a great source of bio available protein which helps to keep blood sugar balanced – so no nasty blood sugar spikes.

Ingredients for gelatin marshmallows

• 1 cup of filtered water

• 2 generous tablespoons of organic honey

• 3 tbsp of grass-fed gelatin (we love Ossa Gelatin)

• Optional: 1 tsp of beetroot juice for natural pink colouring

Method

• Leave your gelatin to bloom in half of the cup of water

• In the meantime, add your honey, beetroot juice (if using) and the rest of the water into a pan and bring up to a gentle simmer

• Pour the hot honey mixture over the gelatin, and whisk using an electric hand whisk

• Keep whisking for around 5-6 minutes until the mixture has become thick but is still pourable, like a marshmallow cream

• Pour into a glass container and leave to set in the fridge for 2-3 hours

• These gelatin marshmallows are delicious served in an (unsweetened) hot chocolate. 

• Heat 1 cup of unsweetened cashew or coconut milk with 1 tablespoon of cacao and a pinch of salt. Then add in 3-4 marshmallows and enjoy!

• This is a great alternative to coffee in the morning – the cacao contains a small amount of caffeine but it’s nicely balanced with protein and fat from the marshmallows and cashew or coconut milk. This will provide a steady source of energy throughout the day.
