I have to confess I detest having apple cider vinegar in the morning. I have tried everything possible, diluted it with water, added sweetener but nothing has worked… until I made these apple cider vinegar gummies! Why drink apple cider vinegar when you can eat them in a gummy form?
I’ve seen ACV gummies (as they are affectionately named) in stores and they are just so expensive! So, after making my homemade healthy gummies, I put 2 and 2 together and they are cost efficient and healthy.

Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a fabulous choice to add to your diet because it helps your body in many ways. Here are a few reasons why apple cider vinegar is good for you:
- Healthy Bacteria: Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid as well as a substance called mother, which contains proteins, enzymes, and friendly bacteria that is good for your gut!
- Disinfecting: The bacteria in Apple Cider Vinegar can be used as a natural remedy for some body infections and can also be used to clean, killing harmful bacteria.
- Helps Lower Blood Sugar: ACV can help keep blood sugar levels stable, aiding in treating diabetes.
- May Boost Skin and Heart Health: Research shows that incorporating ACV into our diets can help skin and heart health in both humans and animals.
Do apple cider vinegar gummies work?
This apple cider vinegar gummy recipe is authentic and healthy. It works as effectively as taking apple cider vinegar in liquid form. These have numerous health benefits and are a great addition to your diet. In addition, making you own ACV gummies ensures no additives are used contrary to the store bought ones.
How many apple cider vinegar gummies should I take in a day?
The number of gummies you take depends on how much apple cider vinegar is in each gummy. The less diluted with honey and apple juice the more apple cider vinegar they will contain. One gummy tends to contain between 300-500mg of apple cider vinegar. I usually consume 2-3 gummies per day making it about 900 – 1500mg of apple cider vinegar per day.

If you want to incorporate more apple cider vinegar into your diet, but aren’t sure about the strong and sour taste, your best bet is to enjoy it in the form of gummies!

Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies FAQ
- What is the best time to take apple cider vinegar gummies? There is no perfect time to take these gummies. ACV gummies can be consumed either first thing in the morning, before your meals or also during the day. I usually take mine in the morning to start the day on a healthy note.
- What sweetener can I use? I like using honey but any sweetener could do. I have tried them once with maple syrup and they tasted great.
- What apple cider vinegar to use? my favorite ACV is Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. It is made from organically grown apples and obviously contains high “mother” amounts.
- Is Knox gelatin vegan? Knox gelatin is made from animal collagen so it is definitely not vegan. My go to vegan gelatin is agar agar powder. Just keep in mind that it gives a firmer texture. I generally use one teaspoon of agar agar powder instead of 8 teaspoons of gelatin powder.
Storage
It is important to keep these apple vinegar gummies stored properly so that they will stay firm and won’t get too warm. Store the apple cider vinegar gummies in an airtight container in your fridge. These gummies will keep the perfect consistency and hold together well if kept in the fridge, so be sure to do so! If they are kept at room temperature, they will melt.

Wouldn’t it be better to put the honey in with the apple juice/gelatin bowl, so your not cooking out all the goodness the honey has to offer?
Taylor Kiser says
Hi Mona! Thanks for the tip about the honey!
Elizabeth Vestal says
What is the suggested serving size? All the recipe’s I’ve looked up the entire batch is a serving size and that just seems like a lot to consume in a day.
Taylor Kiser says
Hi Elizabeth! Suggested serving size is one piece.
David Sheehan says
Doesn’t heating the apple cider vinegar kill the bacteria that we are trying to consume for its benefits?
Taylor Kiser says
Feel free to skip that step if you’d like to. Let me know if it effects the setup of the gummies. Thanks!
Annette says
Do you store in the refrigerator or on the counter
Taylor Kiser says
Hi Annette! Store the apple cider vinegar gummies in an airtight container in your fridge.
Holly says
Hi! I wanted to let you know that when you heat the apple cider vinegar that it kills the bacteria so it’s no longer beneficial. Just a heads up! 😉
Thanks for the recipe!

I have grass fed gelatin from Amy Meyers. Do you know how much of it I would need to use for this recipe?
hausea says
One envelope of Knox Gelatin contains 7g (or 1/4 oz) of gelatin and is typically enough to set 2 cups of liquid. You can typically find the equivalent measurement of gelatin to set 2 cups of liquid on the packaging or the manufacturer’s website.
Once you’ve determined the right measurement, you can follow the same steps in the recipe, replacing Knox Gelatin with the appropriate amount of grass-fed gelatin from Amy Meyers. Enjoy your gummies!
Gina says
Is there another juice I can supplement for the Apple Juice so I don’t get all the sugar?
hausea says
Absolutely! You can try using unsweetened coconut water or unsweetened almond milk as a substitute. Both options will have less sugar compared to apple juice, while still providing enough liquid for the recipe to work properly.
To modify the recipe with the alternative liquid, simply replace the 1 1/2 cups of apple juice with the same amount of the substitute you choose. Keep in mind that this alteration might slightly change the overall flavor of the gummies, so feel free to adjust the honey content to your taste preferences. Enjoy!
