These vegan gummy bears are super easy to make, refined sugar free, and packed with nutrients!
These gummies are made with agar agar, a plant based gelatin replacement. Not many people are aware, but gelatin is an animal by- product made from the bone marrow of animals- more commonly pigs.
Agar agar gives a a fun an cruelty free fix to something many vegans miss so dearly! I do have to say, agar agar does not provide an exact replica for gelatin.
The vegan gummy bear won’t be as chewy as regular gummies, but they’re still a great replacement!

Which Juicer to use- Vegan Gummy Bear Recipe
I make all of my juices with one of the best slow coldpress juicers in the world, the Kuvings REVO830 and AUTO10. It is a bit pricey but has a generous 15 year warranty and can also make nut milks, sorbet, ice cream, and of course juices.
The pulp produced is also extremely dry which means you get the most out of your money. When I had a cheaper high speed juicer, the pulp was extremely wet and I had to run it through several times.
Kuvings also offers other models at affordable prices as well as a monthly payment plan.
Check out the Kuvings USA (or whichever country your location is) website to view other more affordable models such as the C7000 and Ev0820.
How to make vegan gummy bears
Step One
Juice your ingredients for your red juice and green juice separately make sure to strain so the juice mixture isn’t too thick.
Alternatively you can use already made natural fruit juice.
Step Two
Measure one cup of fruit juice with 1.5 teaspoons agar agar for the red juice and another cup and 1.5 teaspoons agar for the green juice while cold.
Start whisking immediately.
Step Three
Continue whisking and bring up to a boil. Immediately turn the heat on low and allow to simmer for the next 3-5 minutes.
Step Four
Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes (do Not wait too long or else it will set!!!) and prepare the fully clean & dry molds.
Step Five
Pour the mixture into the moulds using the squeezer and place in the fridge to cool for 15-20 minutes.
