Blueberry & Coconut Jelly

Healthy jelly anyone?! I’m currently working with my oldest to work on a bit of a candida overgrowth. She LOVES sugar (lol), so I’m currently wholeheartedly at work in the kitchen creating healthier options for her. I’m not very “pushy” with my kids when it comes to treating imbalances in the body. I always want it to be their decision. So I was a little bit proud when Poppy was ready to tackle the candida - and she’s stuck with her protocol pretty good so far :) 

While this recipe doesn’t strictly comply with our usual anti-candida diet, it’s a better option, especially for kids. 

This is an adaptation from the jellies I made on the blog back in April 2021.
