Healthy Marshmallow Recipe (Minimal Ingredients, No junk!)

I love marshmallows, but I don’t love dextrose, tapioca solids, and all the other junk they put in the marshmallows you get at the grocery store. Marshmallows are supposed to be healthy, but when you make them right, They’re made from gelatin, which helps protect against leaky gut.

This alternative is so much cleaner AND honestly tastes way better than store-bought marshmallows. Pair it with the Best Bone Broth Hot Chocolate Recipe Ever for added gut-healing benefits. You and your kids will love them. Guarenteed. Enjoy!
