Pumpkin Spice Gummies
My kids love gummies so I decided to get creative and make a squishylicious version for all those little gummy fans. These pumpkin spice gummies are just that; delicious, squishy and fun for kids, but also boosted with gelatine *(the magic ingredient), veggies and healthy fats! I use pumpkin in my gummies, but you could use sweet potato, carrot, and if you feel really confident, some greens to boost it even further! These are dairy, gluten and nut free so perfect for any sensitive tummies and can go in the lunchbox.
