Take it away Alex…
Hey everyone! I am Alexandra, Alex for short, and I am very excited to be guest posting here today.When Heather asked if I’d guest post, I know exactly what recipe to share. If you remember, she pulled together this amazing Gut-Healing Gelatin Recipes, and this recipe is a perfect continuation of this great list.
One of my most favorite desserts pre-paleo, is lemon bars. When I came up with this recipe, they reminded me so much of them, I just had to share it. This recipe, like many of mine, follows the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).
I hope you love these gummies as much as I do. For more AIP friendly recipe like this one, please visit my blog Don’t Eat the Spatula. You can also connect with me on Facebook and Instagram.

Will these freeze ok?
Yes that should work 🙂
Can I substitute almond milk? I react to all things coconut.
Probably; it just won’t be AIP then.
“Combine lemon juice through lemon juice”. They look nice but how do you make them? I found them at http://www.phoenixhelix.com/ today

Oh these look yummy! Was wondering if I can sub extra gelatin for the collagen as I don’t have any on hand.
And WHERE did you get those awesome Superman molds?!? My hubby and kids would LOVE a “Superman” gummy!!!
Hey Sabrina! It’s Alex here. You can just leave out the collagen, no need to add more gelatin. The collagen is just want makes them super. ;-). Aren’t they the best molds? I actually picked them up at a random comic book store when I was on one of my vacations. I bet you could find them online somewhere though.
