Spooky Halloween Spiced Carrot Jellies

Spooky Halloween Spiced Carrot Jellies

So in love with these cute carrot, ginger and lime low carb jellies. There’s only a little fresh carrot juice in them, just enough to add sweetness and this fantastic orange colour, without adding too many carbs.

Thanks to the gut healing grass-fed gelatin they’re the healthiest jellies going! You don’t have to make them just for Halloween, you can use any jelly shapes you like and enjoy them throughout the year.

If you’d like to try more of my sugar and sweetener free jellies, I’d recommend the Strawberry and Lime Jellies and Blackberry Jelly Bats.
