Instructions
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over half the cold water. Let bloom for 5 minutes (do not stir).

- Remove from heat. Whisk in your BCAA/EAA scoop + the remaining water + optional sweetener until smooth.
- Pour into silicone bunny mold. Tap gently to release air bubbles.
- Refrigerate 45-60 minutes until fully set.
- Pop out of mold and store in airtight container in fridge for up to 1 week.
Why we love this recipe
Gummy bunnies are a fun way to get a daily dose of amino acids — especially during long workouts, hot Montreal summers, or for kids who refuse to drink amino water. The gelatin adds 6-8 g of additional collagen-style protein per serving and supports gut and joint health. Each batch makes 8-10 gummies and most BCAA/EAA powders deliver 5-10 g of aminos per scoop with zero added sugar.
FAQ
- Can I use any BCAA or EAA powder for this recipe?
- Yes — any flavored amino acid powder works. We recommend flavors like Watermelon, Blue Raspberry, Fruit Punch, or Sour Candy for the best gummy taste. See the in-stock list above.
- How long do the gummies last?
- In an airtight container in the fridge, up to 1 week. Don't freeze — texture changes.
- Is this recipe keto-friendly?
- Yes if you use a zero-sugar BCAA/EAA powder and skip the optional sweetener (or use Allulose). Less than 2 g of net carbs per serving.
- Can I make these vegan?
- Replace gelatin with agar-agar (1 teaspoon agar = 2 tablespoons gelatin). Use a plant-based amino blend like PVL EAA Complete.
- Do you ship BCAAs and EAAs across Canada?
- Yes. All orders ship same day from our Montreal warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $125 CAD. 1-5 business days delivery via Canada Post, UPS, Purolator or GLS.
