These homemade creatine gummies combine pomegranate juice, lemon juice, creatine monohydrate, unflavored gelatin, and a pinch of salt in a tart, chewy, grab-and-go format.
I wanted a homemade option that did not rely on expensive store-bought supplement gummies. The fruit juice provides the flavor, the gelatin creates the structure, and the creatine monohydrate is measured across the full batch.
This recipe makes about 75 gummies, depending on the size of your mold. With 60g creatine in the full batch, that is about 0.8g per gummy when the batch yields 75.
These are not candy gummies or a replacement for a balanced diet. They are simply a homemade way to portion creatine if you prefer gummies to mixing powder into a drink.
Why These Creatine Gummies Work
The key technique is blooming the gelatin before heating. Letting the gelatin absorb the cold juice first helps it dissolve evenly when the mixture is warmed.
After the bloom, whisk in the creatine and salt while the mixture is still cold. Then heat gently, stirring until the gelatin dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Keep the heat controlled and do not let the mixture boil. Once smooth, fill the molds and chill them until the gummies are completely set.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Homemade format: Prepare the full mixture and portion it into gummy molds.
- Fruit-forward flavor: Pomegranate and lemon provide the recipe's tart flavor.
- Transparent batch math: Count the finished gummies to understand how the recipe's 60g of creatine is distributed.
- Simple ingredient list: The recipe uses five listed ingredients and no protein powder.
- Clear process: The article walks through blooming, mixing, gentle heating, molding, chilling, and storage.
Creatine Amount and Batch Math
This recipe uses 60g creatine monohydrate across the full batch. The amount in each gummy depends on the final number your mold produces.
- 75 gummies: about 0.8g creatine per gummy
- 6 gummies from a 75-gummy batch: about 4.8g creatine
- 7 gummies from a 75-gummy batch: about 5.6g creatine
For a different yield, divide the 60g in the batch by the number of finished gummies. This is batch math, not individualized supplement advice. Creatine is a dietary supplement, so discuss whether and how to use it with an appropriate healthcare professional, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, under 18, have kidney disease, take medication, or have another medical concern.
What to Know Before You Start
This is a homemade fruit-juice gummy recipe that includes creatine monohydrate. The final amount in each gummy is not fixed until you count how many gummies your mold produces.
Use a digital scale for the full-batch creatine amount, follow the method as written, and count the finished yield before using the batch calculation. The calculation explains the recipe's distribution; it is not a recommendation for individual supplement use.
The finished gummies should be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Because a tested shelf-life was not confirmed, this article does not assign one.
Equipment for Consistent Results
A few basic tools make the batch easier to measure, mix, and portion:
- Digital scale: Use it to weigh the recipe's 60g of creatine accurately.
- Silicone spatula or whisk: Keep the mixture moving as it warms.
- Silicone gummy molds: Choose molds that are easy to fill and release once chilled.
- Dropper or small pitcher: Transfer the mixture into the molds with less mess.
Ingredient Deep Dive & Strategy
- Pomegranate juice: The main liquid and flavor base.
- Fresh lemon juice: Adds tartness and balances the pomegranate flavor.
- Creatine monohydrate: The supplement used in the recipe. Weigh the full-batch amount carefully.
- Unflavored gelatin: Sets the liquid into a gummy texture and contributes the recipe's protein.
- Salt: A small amount rounds out the tart fruit flavor.
Tools I Use for This Recipe
Nutricost Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder
A suggested unflavored creatine monohydrate option for weighing the recipe's 60-gram batch amount; follow the recipe's batch math and consult an appropriate healthcare professional about individual supplement use.
Knox Original Unflavored Gelatine
A suggested unflavored gelatin option for blooming in the juice and setting the gummies; brands may vary slightly in texture and firmness.
Mini Silicone Gummy Bear Molds with Droppers
The included droppers make it easier to portion the warm mixture cleanly; your exact gummy count will depend on mold size.

How To Make Creatine Gummies
1. Add the juice
Pour the pomegranate juice and lemon juice into a medium saucepan.
2. Bloom the gelatin
Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface of the liquid.
Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Do not stir right away. Give the gelatin time to absorb the liquid.
3. Add creatine and salt
Whisk in the creatine monohydrate and salt while the mixture is still cold.
The mixture will look thick at first.
4. Gently heat
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat.
Stir constantly with a silicone spatula or whisk.
Heat only until the mixture becomes smooth and the gelatin is dissolved.
Do not let it boil.
5. Fill the molds
Use a dropper or small pitcher to fill your silicone gummy molds.
If the mixture starts to settle while filling, stir it again before continuing.
6. Chill
Transfer the molds to the refrigerator.
Chill for at least 2.5 hours, or until the gummies are fully set.
7. Remove and store
Pop the gummies out of the molds.
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Process Checkpoints
- Bloom the gelatin in the cold juice before adding heat.
- Whisk in the creatine and salt while the mixture is still cold.
- Heat gently, stir constantly, and do not let the mixture boil.
- If the mixture settles while you fill the molds, stir it again before continuing.
- Chill the filled molds until the gummies are completely set before removing them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why bloom the gelatin before heating?
Blooming gives the gelatin time to absorb the cold liquid before it is dissolved over gentle heat. Follow the five-minute bloom in the method before you begin stirring and heating.
How do I calculate the creatine per gummy?
Divide the 60g used in the full batch by the number of finished gummies. A 75-gummy batch contains about 0.8g per gummy. That calculation describes the batch; it does not determine an appropriate personal amount.
What if the mixture settles while I fill the molds?
Stir the mixture again before continuing so the batch is mixed consistently as you portion it.
How should I store the gummies?
Place the finished gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I have not included an unverified shelf-life or freezing claim.
Storage
After the gummies are fully set, remove them from the molds and place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Because a tested storage window and freezing result were not confirmed for this batch, this article does not assign either one.

Ingredients
- 250 ml Pomegranate Juice (1 cup)
- 60 g Lemon Juice (1/4 cup)

- Incorporate Creatine: Whisk in the creatine and salt while the mixture is cold. It will look like a thick paste.
- Gently Heat: Place the pan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly with a silicone spatula.Pro Tip: Do not let this boil. If it boils, the gelatin structure breaks down and they won't set firmly. Heat only until the liquid is translucent and smooth.
- Fill Molds: Use a dropper or a small pitcher to fill your gummy molds.Pro Tip: Stir the mixture every 5-10 minutes if you are doing a large batch to ensure the creatine doesn't settle at the bottom.
