Creatine has been a staple in the fitness world for decades, but let’s be honest—scooping white powder into water every morning isn’t exactly exciting. That’s where creatine gummies come in. These chewy, fruity bites turn a simple supplement into something you’ll actually look forward to taking. The best part? You can make them at home with just a few ingredients.

If you’ve ever made Jell-O or gummy bears, you’ve got all the skills you need. Below, I’ll walk you through why homemade creatine gummies are worth it, how to customize them, and a simple recipe that works every time.

Why Make Your Own Creatine Gummies?

Sure, you could buy a bottle of premade gummies—but DIY has some major perks:

• Save money: Buying creatine powder in bulk is far cheaper than branded gummies.

• Custom flavors: Mango, cherry, strawberry-kiwi—choose your favorite juices instead of being stuck with “mixed berry.”

• Control your dosage: Perfect for tailoring to your fitness goals.

• Cleaner ingredients: No mystery fillers, dyes, or artificial sweeteners unless you want them.

• Fun to make: Honestly, it feels a bit like kitchen crafting.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s the base recipe. Think of it as your “blank canvas”—you can play with flavors and sweeteners.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Warm your juice
   Pour the fruit juice into a small saucepan and warm gently over low heat. Don’t let it boil—you just want it warm enough to dissolve gelatin.

2. Add sweetener
   Stir in honey or another sweetener if you’d like a sweeter gummy.

3. Sprinkle in gelatin
   Slowly sprinkle gelatin powder over the warm juice, whisking constantly until completely dissolved. (If using agar-agar, follow packet instructions, as it sets differently.)

4. Cool slightly & add creatine
   Take the pan off the heat and let it sit for a minute or two. This is important—high heat can damage creatine. Stir in your creatine powder once the liquid is warm but not hot.

5. Pour into molds
   Use a dropper or spoon to fill your silicone molds.

6. Chill & set
   Place molds in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

7. Unmold & store
   Pop gummies out and store in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll last up to 2 weeks.

How to Calculate Dosage

This is where DIY shines—you can control exactly how much creatine goes into each gummy.

Example:

• You add 10 grams of creatine to your gummy mixture.

• You fill 20 molds.

• Each gummy = 0.5 grams creatine.

If your goal is 3–5 g per day, you’ll know exactly how many gummies to take.

Pro Tips for Perfect Gummies

• Temperature is everything: Always add creatine after removing the liquid from heat.

• No molds? No problem: Pour into a glass dish, refrigerate, then cut into squares.

• Keep them cool: These gummies are best stored in the fridge to stay firm.

• Vegan version: Swap gelatin for agar-agar, but expect a firmer, jelly-like texture.

• Flavor combos to try:
  • Pineapple + lime

  • Strawberry + kiwi

  • Grape + blueberry

Frequently Asked Questions

Will creatine still work in gummies?
Yes! As long as you don’t add it to boiling liquid, creatine remains just as effective.

Can I travel with them?
Yes, but keep them cool. A small insulated container works great.

Do they taste chalky?
Not if you dissolve creatine properly. The juice masks any taste.

How many should I eat a day?
That depends on your dosage. Most people aim for 3–5 g daily. Adjust based on how you portioned your gummies.
