These gut-healing marshmallows (unlike the store-bought ones) are free of artificial sweeteners, chemicals, and common allergens. They’re fluffy, delicious, and surprisingly good-for-you!

 

These gut-healing marshmallows have been my go-to, guilt-free treat for the last several weeks. I’ve practically made them every day since I first created the recipe. They’re just too good to pass up!

 

Not only are these marshmallows delicious and gut-healing, they’re also so easy and quick to make. Seriously, my little nephew could make them without any help! So, if you typically stick to tossing cereal in a bowl or cooking boxed mac ‘n cheese, you’re in luck. These gut-healing marshmallows are fail-proof, even for the rookie chef!

 

This paleo-approved and SIBO-friendly recipe is tasty way to add some extra gut-healing gelatin into your diet, which I’m all about and we all could use!  Gelatin, is the gut-healing MVP and it’s great for:

  • Supporting proper digestion
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Restoring your gut lining
  • Boosting hair, nail, and skin health

Basically, all the good things we’re looking for!

 

 

What You Need to Make Theses Gut-Healing Marshmallows

 

Filtered Water

Just as you should always drink filtered water, you should always cook with filtered water!

 

Gelatin

Gelatin is one of my favorite gut-supporting nutrients. I consume it daily. Gelatin is made from animal bone, skin, and tissues. Although it sounds gross, trust me – it’s not.  We’ve been consuming gelatin for thousands of years in the form of organ meats, connective tissue, and broth, but these days we don’t consume as much of it, which could be contributing to modern diseases. Gelatin helps heal the gut, reduce joint pain, improve skin, clear brain fog, reduce food intolerances/sensitivities, and more!  It’s rich in the amino acid, glycine, which is anti-inflammatory and can help improve sleep quality.

 

Vanilla Extract

Vanilla extract simply makes everything better. It’s an awesome, gut-friendly flavor to add to your baked goods or sweet recipes. Always opt for a high-quality organic, vanilla extract.

 

Sweetener of Choice

You can use your favorite natural sweetener, here. I like using monk fruit and maple syrup. Other options include stevia, honey, or coconut sugar. See below for the perfect combination I use!

How to Make These Gut-Healing Marshmallows

To make these gut-healing marshmallows, you will need a standing mixer or hand mixer (standing is preferred).

Add half your water to a large bowl and add 3 tbs gelatin. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring the remaining water to almost a boil.

Use the standing or hand mixer to whisk the gelatin water on low and slowly add in the almost boiling water. Sprinkle in your vanilla extract and sweetener of choice. Continue mixing on low for 1 minute, then increase to medium speed for 1 minute.

Finally, increase to high speed for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and stiff peaks begin forming.

Immediately, pour the marshmallow fluff into a glass pyrex container and place in the fridge for at least one hour.

Slice into squares of your desired size and enjoy!

 

How to Serve Gut-Healing Marshmallows

I could snack on these marshmallows all day long, but they’re especially good on top of a latte, mushroom tonic, or hot chocolate!
