Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp Vital Proteins Beef Gelatin
• 5 Tbsp Natural Calm Cherry Ionic Magnesium Citrate Powder
• 3/4 cup organic tart cherry juice
• *You will also need a silicone mold for 30 gummies

Directions

1. Pour cold cherry juice into a large bowl. Slowly mix in magnesium powder using a wire whisk. If the mixture foams up, give it time to settle before moving on to the next step.
2. Pour the mixture into a small pot. Keep it off the heat for the time being. Sprinkle gelatin powder over the juice and magnesium mixture and allow it to sit for a few minutes until you see it begin to gel into a mass. Whisk the mixture and allow it to sit for another five minutes.
3. Slowly begin to heat the mixture at a low-medium temperature. Stir gently a few times. Once the mixture is liquified, pour it into a glass container with a spout. Use a spatula to make sure you get every last drop!
4. Carefully pour the mixture into the silicone mold.
5. Refrigerate until set. Gently remove from the mold and give one a try!
