Watermelon Sour Bites

These sour watermelon electrolyte gummies are the homemade answer to the candy aisle: watermelon juice set with gelatin, sharpened with lime, and finished with a dusting of citric acid for genuine pucker. Two scoops of Saltivate Raw Unflavored dissolve into the batch, adding sodium, potassium, and magnesium with zero sugar and a light salty edge that sharpens the watermelon. Stash them in the fridge for hikes, road trips, or the post workout moment you want a chew instead of a drink.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Bloom gelatin in lime juice for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat watermelon juice until steaming, then stir in two scoops of Saltivate.
  3. Combine with gelatin, pour into molds, and chill 2 hours.
  4. Dust with a little citric acid for extra sour.

Per serving: 10 kcal, 2g carbs, 1g sugar.

Serving suggestions and variations

  • Sweeter bite. A teaspoon of honey rounds out the lime.
  • Firmer chew. Add an extra half tablespoon of gelatin.
  • Keep them cold. Gelatin softens in heat, so these live in the fridge, not a gym bag.
