Making your own gummies at home can be so easy (and vegan) with the help of agar agar, gelatin’s seaweed sister. Try it out in these simple Orange Creamsicle Vegan Gummies!

Even though we didn’t do our usual ingredient rundown, we’ll be ringing in the New Year with oranges here on Live Eat Learn! Is that a thing? Oranges for New Year? Here in Georgia, where I’m visiting my grandpa for the holidays, we ate blackeyed peas and Brussels sprouts to bring luck for 2018, but I vote we add some citrus into that lucky mix.

With the holidays in the rear view mirror I’ve been thinking of how we can lighten up our kitchen in 2018. Last year around this time we cut out everything (okay, not everything, but a whole heck of a lot) with the 21 Day Reset. But this year I’m feeling a bit less ambitious. I’m thinking of going towards more homemade versions of things. You know, homemade vegetable/chicken stock, get back into making kombucha, and make our own little treats. Case in point, these Orange Creamsicle Gummies.
