3 Health Benefits of Vanilla Blueberry Gummies

#1: Rich In Antioxidants

Blueberries are one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits out there. Their antioxidant activity comes from phytonutrients like anthocyanins — which give blueberries their beautiful deep purple-blue color[*].

Research shows that anthocyanins, and therefore blueberries, support both heart and brain health[*].

One way blueberries can support your heart is by protecting your LDL cholesterol from oxidation. Oxidized LDL particles can lead to the progression of plaques in your arteries, which can eventually lead to heart disease[*].

#2: Enhanced Exercise Performance

Exogenous ketones provide a source of fuel for your muscle cells during exercise.

This additional boost in energy molecules may allow you to hold on to more glycogen (stored energy in your muscles) so you can work out longer and faster.

In one study, researchers gave a group of athletes exogenous ketones (specifically beta-hydroxybutyrate) and then measured their exercise performance.

The athletes not only increased their endurance, but also increased fat burning during the workout — even in the presence of co-ingested carbohydrates[*].

#3: Increased Satiety

Gelatin is a type of protein that comes from collagen, and is most well known as the main ingredient in Jell-O. But don’t be fooled, this protein provides more than the gummy texture in these vanilla blueberry gummies.

Research shows that consuming gelatin may have a significant impact on your satiety. And is there really any better combination than a sweet treat that makes you feel full and satisfied?

In one study, researchers gave a group of people gelatin and then measured several hormones and markers for hunger and satiety.

They found that a single dose of gelatin was able to increase levels of insulin and may be applied as a way to maximize satiety in obese patients that are following a calorie controlled diet[*].

Vanilla Blueberry Gummies

If your go-to treat is a package of sugary gummy bears, then these homemade gummy treats are your keto-friendly savior.

The grass-fed gelatin and exogenous ketones take your standard “fruit snacks” to a whole new level.

Simply grab some coconut milk or almond milk, throw them in a blender with some blueberries until well combined and sweeten with stevia or monk fruit.

Next, in a small saucepan over medium heat, add your blueberry mixture, gelatin powder, and exogenous ketones while whisking slowly.

Once everything is dissolved, fill your silicone molds or candy molds with the gelatin mixture and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until firm.

Eat them fresh or set aside for later and store them in an airtight container in your refrigerator.
