Gummies are the perfect AIP treat for when the ‘hangries’ hit…
hangry
haŋɡri/ (adjective)
Back to AIP 101. Again…
That means no eggs, coffee, chocolate, red wine, seed spices or high quality dairy – my successful reintroductions to date. The focus is well and truly on upping nutrient density and ensuring I work on my sleep and stress management, too.
Despite missing my morning coffee and after dinner dark chocolate, I’m actually enjoying myself.
One of the unexpected side benefits of an AIP Reset is that I muck about in the kitchen more. And, when I happened to mention I’d been playing with a new gummy recipe in our January AIP Reset group, there was a request for the recipe.
So, here you go. Here’s my Chai Spiced Gummies recipe. Made with Vital Proteins gelatin. They’re like teeny panna cottas.
For when you get the hangries.
They’re just right for the odd sweet treat after dinner, too.
I hope you enjoy my chai inspired gummies!

Perfect for when you need a little AIP-friendly pick-me-up...

- 1 teabag English Breakfast Tea (or similar)
- 270 ml Coconut Milk
- 1/4 cup Gelatin
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- Bring water to the boil in your kettle. Pour 1/2 a cup of boiled water into a cup and pop in the tea bag. Steep for 5 minutes.
- While the tea is steeping, measure 5 tablespoons of water into a small bowl. Sprinkle over gelatin and leave to bloom.
- When tea is ready, remove teabag and discard. Pour tea into a medium saucepan. Whisk in ginger, cinnamon, vanilla powder, cloves and honey.
- Over a low heat, add coconut milk and let flavors meld for a further 5 minutes.
- Turning off the element, remove mixture from the heat and whisk in bloomed gelatin, taking care to ensure the mixture is lump free.
- Pour into molds (or into a glass/ceramic dish for cutting into portions when set). Pop into the fridge until set, approximately 3 hours.
OMG, I just made these and life stopped 🙂 I used Chai tea instead of black tea and omitted the cloves due to the chai tea. I replaced the honey with maple syrup. Like this is soooooo good. Thank you.
Lovely Hettie – SO glad they were such a success! Thanks for letting us know. Did you take a pic? I’d love to see yours (joannafrankham@conscious-autoimmunity.com.)
