New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!

Homemade Gut-Nourishing, Low-Calorie, Appetite-Satiating Gummies

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) provides a whole host of health benefits, from improving insulin sensitivity to lowering post-meal blood glucose, boosting digestion, supporting weight loss, and much more. However, the idea of chugging ACV throughout the day isn't exactly appealing to most folks, and understandably so.

So, what is my favorite new way to get all the benefits of ACV on a regular basis? Toss it into some convenient, delicious gummies, of course.

I recently found this recipe from Coconut Mama, and put my own spin on it by swapping out the raw honey for allulose, a low-calorie, zero-sugar sweetener (though you could certainly make yours with raw honey if you prefer). It also includes nourishing gelatin, which can help to heal and soothe the lining of the gut.

This recipe makes 20-24 gummies and only takes about five minutes to make.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. Mix the gelatin and 1/4 cup water together in a small bowl and let it expand.
  2. Add in the lemon juice and allulose.
  3. Heat the ACV and remaining 1/2 cup water (or apple juice) over low heat until it is hot, but not boiling. 
  4. Mix the ACV and water until the gelatin mixture until the gelatin dissolves.
  5. Pour the gummy mixture into molds and refrigerate until they set, about 35-40 minutes.

Voilà! You now have your very own homemade gut-nourishing, blood-sugar stabilizing gummies to enjoy throughout the day. Give this recipe a try and let me know how you liked it! :)

My New Book Endure: Tools, Tactics & Habits For Spiritual Stamina

I recently turned 40, and as a birthday gift from myself to you (because there's no better gift than the gift of giving), I've let you in on my newest book that's coming out in April this year. It's called Endure: Tools, Tactics & Habits For Spiritual Stamina.

This book is for you if you struggle with temptation and often find yourself succumbing to it; if you get overwhelmed by all the ways you can pray and meditate; if you lay awake at night with your mind racing thinking about the general anxieties of the week; if you want to live an impactful life that inspires others to greatness; and more.

By the conclusion of Endure, you will have discovered and learned how to implement tools, tactics, and habits for spiritual stamina that were inspired by great philosophers, thinkers, and theologians of ancient and modern ages, including Augustine, Plato, the Apostles Paul, Peter and John, the kings David and Solomon, C.S. Lewis, Naval Ravikant, Anthony de Mello, Derek Sivers, Doug Wilson, Randy Alcorn, John Piper, many, many others, and of course, Jesus Christ himself.

Just click here to be the first in line to be notified as soon as Endure: Tools, Tactics & Habits For Spiritual Stamina is ready for release, which is officially happening in April 2022. Thanks for reading, and for putting up with this old 40-year-old curmudgeon's ramblings. :)

Product Of The Week

::: Save 10% On a Life-Changing Magnesium Supplement :::

Magnesium is the single most studied mineral in existence.

It powers over 300 critical, life-saving reactions in your body. To date, thousands of studies have proven it to be beneficial for the heart, energy, metabolism, immunity, sleep, pain, and more. The only two-time Nobel Prize winner in history, Linus Pauling, recommended daily supplementation of magnesium of at least 350mg per day.

But, despite knowing its importance, we still have a big magnesium deficiency problem.

Modern agriculture has stripped our soil and diet of magnesium, causing ~80% of the population to become deficient.

Food and supplement industries have tried to put a bandaid on the problem by fortifying foods with synthetic (chemical-made), low-grade magnesium that the body can't absorb. Plus, most supplements only contain 1-3 forms of magnesium (at best).

So, chances are, unless you're supplementing with all seven forms of magnesium, you're likely still “magnesium deficient” and not functioning at your peak.

The good news? You can resolve magnesium deficiency once and for all with BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough.

With all seven forms of magnesium in their natural form and at optimal dosages, Magnesium Breakthrough can help reduce cortisol, provide deep relaxation, reduce stress, and lead to better, deeper sleep.

I Want To Know What You've Got Cooking

I'm so stoked about the positive feedback I've been getting about my new Boundless Cookbook. The cookbook was a labor of love, but I'm really proud of the end result (especially considering I'm definitely not a trained chef).

Now that the Boundless Cookbook is available on Amazon, I have a favor to ask…

If you have the cookbook and you love it, can you hop on over to Amazon and leave a review? Amazon reviews—as I bet you know—are super important. I want your honest feedback and I'll be reading them to hear what you think.

You can leave your review on Amazon right here (and if you don't have a cookbook yet, and you're an Amazon Prime member, you could have your copy at your doorstep as early as tomorrow).


Kion Product Of The Week: Kion Aminos Contains The Rocket Fuel You Need Every Week

50%. That’s the amount of amino acids you actually absorb from food.

No matter how much protein you eat, you’ll still likely only be able to tap into half of the amino acids you consume, and amino acids are pretty important. They’re the building blocks of protein in the body, and they help you build new muscle, support energy production, and keep the systems in your body running smoothly.

Kion Aminos is a pure, plant-based essential amino acid formula. You just add the powder to ice-cold water and enjoy a refreshing, energizing drink for staying energized, boosting athletic recovery, and supporting lean muscle mass.

    Thank you Ben for another great recipe! I would like to add an important step for those who use apple cider vinegar gummies…please remember to always brush your teeth as soon as possible after apple cider vinegar! This is especially important with gummies which can get stuck between your teeth. I am a wholistic healthcare practitioner and suggest ACV often for my patients, but I am also the daughter of a dentist so I understand the downfall of acid remaining on our teeth. Gummies are helpful because they are portable, you can easily bring them with you when going out to eat…just remember to bring your toothbrush!

  2. Sandy says:

    Hi Ben –
    Thanks for the gummy recipe. Finally got around to making it. I ordered gummy molds and somehow didn’t pay attention to size so my recipe made 50 gummies! They are cute though! Taste is fine with 2 Tbs of Allurose and no apple juice. Going to enjoy these throughout the day. Thanks again
