Raspberry Lemonade Electrolyte Gummies

These raspberry lemonade electrolyte gummies are a bright, fruity way to stay refreshed, especially after exercise or on warm days. They have a soft, chewy texture with a balanced sweet and tangy flavour from real raspberries and fresh lemon juice. This is an easy, no-bake recipe that comes together quickly and sets beautifully in the fridge. From start to finish, you will need about 30 minutes of hands-on time, plus chilling.

Ingredients

For the raspberry lemonade base

• 200ml fresh raspberries, blended and strained
• 120ml fresh lemon juice
• 120ml water
• 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup

For the electrolytes

• 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
• 1/4 tsp potassium chloride powder
• 1/4 tsp magnesium citrate powder

For setting

• 4 tbsp powdered gelatine

How to Make Raspberry Lemonade Electrolyte Gummies

• Prepare the moulds: Lightly grease silicone gummy moulds or line a small square tin with baking parchment. Set aside so they are ready to fill.
• Warm the liquid: Pour the raspberry juice, lemon juice, water, and honey into a small saucepan. Heat gently over low heat until warm, stirring to dissolve the honey. Do not let it boil.
• Add the electrolytes: Whisk in the sea salt, potassium chloride, and magnesium citrate until fully dissolved and evenly distributed.
• Bloom the gelatine: Sprinkle the gelatine evenly over the warm liquid. Leave it to sit for 2 minutes so it can absorb the liquid.
• Dissolve completely: Place the saucepan back over very low heat and whisk gently until the gelatine has fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
• Fill the moulds: Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared moulds. Tap gently on the work surface to remove air bubbles.
• Chill and set: Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Tips

Why are my gummies too soft?

This usually means the gelatine quantity was too low or not fully dissolved. Measure carefully and ensure the mixture is warm enough to dissolve the gelatine completely.

How do I make them less sour?

Increase the honey or maple syrup slightly, or reduce the lemon juice by 1 to 2 tablespoons for a milder flavour.

Can I make these without electrolyte powders?

You can, but they will no longer provide electrolyte support. The texture will remain the same, but the nutritional benefit will change.
