HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOWS
(Collagen-Rich / Gut-Healthy / Gluten Free / Refined Sugar Free)
Hot cocoa season is here — and we’re not giving it up… we’re just making it better.
Most marshmallows hide a long list of ingredients you’d never expect in something so simple. Corn syrup, artificial dyes, mystery additives — not exactly cozy.
This week’s recipe flips the script with homemade marshmallows made from grass-fed gelatin, MariGold Unflavored Collagen Peptides, and maple syrup. They’re soft, fluffy, and melt beautifully into warm drinks — but unlike the store-bought version, they actually support gut health.
AND they’re shockingly easy to make!
Paired with a refined-sugar-free hot cocoa, this is one of those feel-good holiday swaps that doesn’t feel like a compromise. Just comfort, nostalgia, and ingredients you can feel great about.
