Are Fruit Roll-Ups healthy?

Being made of just fruit and gelatin, we rate our homemade fruit rollups are as just as healthy as fresh fruit. Of course, the commercial brand has preservatives, colors and sugar added. So it's not quite the same healthy snack.

Can vegetarians eat fruit roll ups?

Our recipe for homemade fruit rollups contains gelatin, which is an animal product. So unfortunately this recipe is not suitable for vegetarians. You could try using agar instead, or leaving the gelatine out completely to make this recipe vegetarian friendly.

How To Store Your Homemade Fruit Rollups

Roll your fruit roll ups in parchment paper and seal them in a air-tight container like this one. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Description

Here’s a fun, healthy, homemade fruit roll-up with gelatin recipe that makes a healthy, colorful treat that you and your kids will love.

Ingredients

Scale

3 Cups Fresh Fruit – I used mixed fruits including banana, strawberries and grapes but you could use any fruits you like
2 Tbsp Grass Fed Gelatin – For maximum health benefits, I recommend this brand
1 Tsp Lemon Juice – You can omit this if you don’t have any!

Instructions

Clean – Clean and wash all your fruit, removing any bruised bits and stems.
Add – Add all of your fruit along with a teaspoon of lemon juice to your high-speed blender and process until smooth.
Combine – Once the fruit is nice and smooth, add grass fed gelatin and process to combine.
Pour – Pour the fresh fruit and gelatin mix on your paraflexx or silicone sheets
Smooth – Using the power of gravity, move your sheet around so that the fruit mix spreads evenly. You want it to be around 1/4″ thick. Continue with as many sheets as you have to finish up the mix.

Dehydrate – Place your filled trays into your dehydrator on 140F or LOW setting. Leave for 6-8 hours or overnight.
Store – Your rollups are ready when they aren’t wet to touch. Store them by cutting with a sharp knife or scissors and rolling them up in either parchment paper or plastic wrap. They will keep for 2 weeks+ in an airtight container.

Notes

Leftover fruit puree can be used in smoothies or frozen into icy poles
If you don’t have any lemon, you can leave it out.
Want it to be vegetarian or vegan? Leave out the gelatin.
These can be cooked in the oven, simply use a baking tray and parchment paper instead of a dehydrator tray and set your oven at it’s lowest setting. Bake for 6-8 hours.
