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.
