Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups diced mango chunks defrosted if frozen
- 1 medium carrot steamed until soft
- 2 tablespoons honey for the mango-carrot batch
- 1/4 cup water for the mango-carrot batch
- 5 tablespoons grass-fed beef gelatin powder for the mango-carrot batch
- 2 cups halved strawberries fresh or thawed

Instructions
Instructions
- Line a 9-inch bread loaf pan with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.
- Place the fruit and cooked vegetable of choice in a high-speed blender.
- Add the water and honey, and puree until very smooth, at least 5 minutes.
- Taste the mixture, add more honey if needed, and blend again until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a large-bottomed stock pot. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface and leave it undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- When the surface wrinkles, whisk in the gelatin. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until smooth. Do not let the mixture boil.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and let it set for at least 3 to 4 hours; it can be covered and left overnight.
- Use mini pie cutters to cut shapes. Snip scraps into small pieces with scissors and mix them into the shapes.
- Keep the fruit snacks refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Notes
Prepare the mango-carrot and strawberry-beet flavors as separate batches, using half of the listed batch ingredients for each flavor.
