A couple of weeks ago, I shared some pics on Instagram from a really fun event I attended with the girls. I’ve gotten a ton of questions about it, so for those who were wondering, it was an official launch party for the all-new Juicy Juice Teasers. These are a lower-sugar blend of fruit juice and decaf and caffeine free teas that just launched in Atlanta and other parts of the Southeast.
I don’t know about you, but Juicy Juice is pretty much a staple in my house. My kids don’t drink soda, so it’s basically water, milk, or juice for them (no juice after 3pm though). My husband is also a big juice guy, so between the 3 of them, let’s just say we run through a lot of juice.
As for the event…what can I say, it was awesome! The team at Juicy Juice really pulled of a super fun family event with delicious food, yummy snacks, great music, and of course, all of the Juicy Juice your heart desired. Even a little mommy juice for the grown ups 🙂 A must try is the half and half – by far, my favorite! My kids even discovered a new YouTube sensation who performed at the event named Ryleigh Ledford. She was such a sweetheart and an amazing talent. I hope someday they can look back to the picture of her they now have on their walls once she’s a huge superstar.
One of my biggest takeaways was the activities and recipes card that was shared at the event, where I discovered a super simple recipe for DIY gummies made with Juicy Juice! My kids love these snacks and how great is it to be able to make them myself using better-for-you ingredients?! Here’s the recipe for anyone who’d like to try it.
Homemade Gummies Recipe made with new Juicy Juice Teasers
- 1½ cups of Juicy Juice® 100% juice or Juicy Juice Teasers – We went with the Peach flavor which was my kids' favorite.
- 4 tablespoons of plain gelatin. I recommend a flavored gelatin if you're making this with the Juicy Juice Teasers for a sweeter taste.
-
Pour the Juicy Juice® 100% juice into a small pot. Gently add in the gelatin powder and allow it to absorb for a few minutes.
-
Once the gelatin has absorbed, whisk the mixture gently.
-
Turn on your stove to medium heat, getting the mixture warm but never boiling. Wait until the mixture changes from thick to runny and all of the gelatin has dissolved.
-
Once ready, pour the mixture into a shallow loaf pan and refrigerate for four hours.
-
Remove from pan and cut the gelatin into bite-sized pieces.
-
Keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks!

Those homemade gummies sound awesome! I never thought to make my own. I am definitely trying these.
Those gummies look yummy! My hubby and kids would love it! Going to surprise them one day with some! Thanks for the recipe!
These look so great. I love the idea of using bear shaped molds. It is nice to have a little more control over the ingredients.
I haven’t heard of this brand before. They sound yummy. I will look for these juices next time I go shopping. I am also trying your recipe.
YUM! These sound really good, and I love a good juice. I’ve never tried to make homemade gummies, but I do like gummies so I should give it a try! The JJ gummies there look good too. NOM!
I’ve been meaning to make homemade gummy bears for the kids…but I won’t taste them! I just can’t do gelatin..it grosses me out! ;-(
I love those homemade gummies. I’ve never made them myself before. Now I’ll have to give them a try. That juice sounds great too.
I surely never thought that you could make gummies at home. 🙂 That’s great! My son would be delighted!
Juicy Juice was always a staple in our house when my daughter was growing up and I still buy it for myself every now and then. I can’t wait to make some Juicy Juice gummies with my bottle of kiwi strawberry.
Homemade gummies? I didn’t know you could make them at home! I love gummies! The Juicy Juice fruit punch sounds delicious!
Wow, I never thought that we can do gummies at home. I’ve been a fan of gummies ever since! Thanks for the post and I will try it!
I can not wait to make my own gummies. The kids are going to love them.
My kids would love these gummies! I never thought to make them before sounds great!
They’re actually pretty easy and store well in the fridge for a few days. My kids crave gummies all day and night, so I needed this!
This looks like a VERY easy recipe. I’ve tried something similar before, but it didn’t work out. I’m going to try this one.
