Why You'll Love These DIY Creatine Gummies
If you find drinking creatine every day inconvenient, these homemade creatine gummies offer a fun and portable alternative. They're naturally flavored with fruit juice, lightly sweetened with honey, and easy to portion so you can consistently hit your daily creatine intake.
Unlike many store-bought supplement gummies, this homemade version allows you to control the ingredients, sweetness, and serving size. They're perfect for gym bags, meal prep, or keeping in the refrigerator for a quick post-workout snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 100% fruit juice (orange, grape, or mixed berry)
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 20 grams creatine monohydrate powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- Silicone gummy molds
Instructions
1. Bloom the Gelatin
Pour the fruit juice into a saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the top. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
2. Heat Gently
Warm the mixture over low heat while stirring continuously until the gelatin completely dissolves. Do not boil.
3. Add Sweetener
Stir in the honey and lemon juice until fully combined.
4. Mix in Creatine
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the creatine powder until completely dissolved.
5. Fill the Molds
Carefully pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds using a measuring cup or dropper.
6. Chill
Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours until the gummies are firm.
7. Store
Remove the gummies from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Expert Tips
Avoid boiling the mixture after adding the gelatin, and stir in the creatine only after removing the pan from the heat to minimize prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Use food-grade silicone molds for easy removal and consistent portions.
Storage
Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before eating.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy the gummies before or after workouts, as part of your morning routine, or alongside a protein shake. Pair them with plenty of water throughout the day to support hydration while supplementing with creatine.
Recipe Variations
Use tart cherry juice for recovery support, tropical fruit juice for a sweeter flavor, or sugar-free fruit juice if you want to reduce sugar. Add a small amount of vitamin C powder or electrolyte powder for additional flavor, ensuring any additions are compatible with your dietary needs.
