Essential Takeaways

• We share a nostalgic fruit roll-up snack you can easily make at home!

As a kid, I dreamed of having ice cream and cookies for dinner every night – and now I’ve discovered a way to make my dreams come true. Well, with fruit roll-ups, at least.

These healthy, homemade leather fruit roll-ups are packed with essential vitamins and minerals and are great at satisfying sugar cravings. Cymbiotika's own Lauryn Barris created this nostalgic snack using the infamous Liposomal Vitamin B12+B6 supplement, and you can find her on Instagram @ninthhousehealing.

Ingredients: 

• 1 ½ cups of raspberries
• 1 ½ cups of strawberries (quartered)
• 1 tbsp of lemon juice
• 2 servings (24 pumps) of Cymbiotika’s Vitamin B12

• 1 ½ cups of blackberries
• 1 ½ cups of blueberries
• Juice from half of a small lemon (~3 tbsp of lemon juice)
• 2 servings (24 pumps) of Cymbiotika’s Vitamin B12

Tools:

• Baking tray
• Parchment paper
• Blender or food processor
• Oven

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 170 degrees.
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
3. Add 1 ½ cups of raspberries, 1 ½ cups of quartered strawberries, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, and 24 pumps of Vitamin B12 in a blender and blend until smooth.
4. Pour the mixture into a separate container and set aside.
5. Add 1 ½ cups of blackberries, 1 ½ cups of blueberries, juice from half of a small lemon, and 24 pumps of Vitamin B12 in a blender and blend until smooth.
6. Pour the strawberry + raspberry puree onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. You can pour this into dots or stripes, but leave space in between to fill with the other mixture.
7. Fill the remaining space with blackberry + blueberry puree. Using a spatula or spoon, swirl the two purees together. Make sure to spread the puree out as evenly as possible.
8. Bake in the oven at 170 degrees for about 3 hours, turning the pan halfway through until the center is no longer sticky.
9. If it is still sticky, put the fruit leather back into the oven for another 30-60 minutes. Depending on your oven, the cooking time may vary.
10. Remove the tray from the oven and allow it to cool. Once cooled, cut each strip into a roll-up and enjoy!

As a lifestyle writer and health enthusiast, I’m excited to bring my passion for storytelling to Cymbiotika. Two things you should know about me: I love interior decorating, and I’m obsessed with supplements. My kitchen counter literally overflows with supplements and powders. This passion led me to buy my first Cymbiotika product. I tried the Liposomal Magnesium L-Threonate and was so impressed by how it gave me more energy and cleared up my brain fog that I wanted to share this brand with as many people as possible. Shortly after, I’m here doing just that. I’m excited to be on this journey of better health with Cymbiotika, and I’m excited to share it with you here on the blog.
