    To keep the foliage theme going, I’d say the best coordinating accessory would be the flower stockings (http://www.corset-story.com/flower-fishnet-suspender-stockings.html). Both of these items are gorgeous!

DIY Grape Creatine Gummy Bears – Big, Bold and Packed with Power

I have to laugh—my son is the one who first got me onto creatine. He sat me down one afternoon and said, “Mum, you should try this. It’s not just for the gym bros, it’s good for your brain too.” At first, I thought he was cheekily hinting at my forgetful, menopausal moments (you know the ones—walking into a room and forgetting why you’re there). But he meant it with total respect. He’d been reading about the cognitive benefits of creatine, especially for women, and wanted to share it with me.

And you know what? He was right. Creatine isn’t only about muscles—it’s about energy. It helps your body recycle ATP, which is basically your cells’ little power packets. For women, that means more than strength gains at the gym. It can mean better mental focus, reduced fatigue, and even support for mood—something that’s especially handy when hormones are shifting during perimenopause and menopause.

For years, creatine was branded as a “gym junkie supplement,” but research shows it has wide-reaching benefits for women of all ages:

  • Brain health – supports memory, focus, and mental clarity.

  • Energy levels – helps fight that mid-afternoon slump.

  • Muscle maintenance – important as we naturally lose muscle with age.

  • Mood support – some studies link creatine with reduced feelings of brain fog and low mood.

So no, it’s not just about bulking up or lifting heavy weights. For me, it’s about giving my brain a little extra spark and keeping my energy steady through busy, hormone-fueled days.

And the best part? Instead of downing a gritty scoop of powder in water, I’ve found a way to turn creatine into something I actually enjoy—grape-flavored gummy bears.

 

Why Jumbo Gummy Bears?

  • Bigger dose per bear: Instead of nibbling 30–50 minis, you can hit your daily creatine in 1–2 bears. 
  • Fun & nostalgic: Who doesn’t love a giant gummy bear? 
  • Customizable: Adjust sweetness, flavor, and dosage as you like. 
  • Easy to make: Simple ingredients, no fancy equipment. 

Ingredients

IngredientPurpose
1 cup grape juice (dark grape for rich purple color)Flavor & base
4 TBSP unflavored gelatin (or agar-agar for vegan version)Gelling agent
1–2 TBSP honey, maple syrup, or stevia (optional)Sweetness
Creatine monohydrate powderMuscle-building supplement
Jumbo silicone gummy bear molds (18.7 mL capacity each)Shape & portioning

How to Make Jumbo Gummy Bears

  1. Warm the juice
    Heat grape juice gently in a saucepan over low heat. Don’t boil. 
  2. Add sweetener
    Stir in honey or another sweetener if desired. 
  3. Sprinkle gelatin
    Whisk gelatin until fully dissolved. 
  4. Cool slightly & stir in creatine
    Remove from heat, let it cool 1–2 minutes, then mix in creatine powder. 
  5. Fill molds
    Pour the mixture into your large bear molds (each holds 18.7 mL). 
  6. Refrigerate
    Chill for at least 2 hours until firm. 
  7. Unmold & store
    Pop them out and keep them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. 

Dosage Example for 18.7 mL Gummy Bears

Let’s calculate:

  • 1 cup liquid = ~237 mL total. 
  • Divided into 18.7 mL molds = about 12–13 jumbo gummy bears per batch. 

Now, if you add 13 g of creatine into the recipe:

  • 13 g ÷ 13 bears = 1 g creatine per bear. 

Want 5 g daily? Just eat 5 bears.
Prefer 3 g daily? Eat 3 bears.

Tip: Adjust how much creatine you add to the batch to make dosage even easier. For example, add 39 g creatine to the batch ? each bear = 3 g. Then you only need one bear per day.

Tips for Perfect Purple Bears

  • Boost the purple: Use concord grape juice or add natural purple food coloring. 
  • Adjust sweetness: Grapes vary—taste the liquid before setting. 
  • Dosage control: Calculate total creatine divided by bears made—it’s that simple. 
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated. These bears are firmer than candy gummies but can soften if left out. 
  • Vegan option: Agar-agar instead of gelatin makes a firmer, jelly-like texture. 

FAQs

Can one bear really give me a full daily dose?
Yes! Just increase the creatine in the recipe so each bear equals your desired serving.

Will they taste like candy?
They’ll taste like a fruity grape gummy—not as sweet as store-bought candy, but delicious.

How long do they last?
Up to 2 weeks in the fridge.

Do I have to use grape?
No—you can swap for orange, berry, or mango juice. But grape makes a fun, deep purple gummy.

Why You’ll Love These

These jumbo grape creatine gummy bears are the perfect marriage of fun and function. Instead of dreading your supplement routine, you’ll actually look forward to it. They’re quick to make, cost-effective, and the giant gummy bear factor makes them unforgettable.

One bear, one scoop of strength. Easy.
