Tart raspberries meet creamy cottage cheese in these natural gummies. They are gluten-free, low-carb, and have less than 100 calories per serving.
One of my guilty pleasures are gummies.
Those who know me know how much I LOVE gummies. But, store-bought gummies are full of additives and chemicals that are not good for your health.
So, when I’m craving something sweet and chewy, these are my go-to options.
These raspberry cottage cheese gummies are as easy to make as they are satisfying to snack on, with a soft, jelly-like texture from the gelatin and a fresh raspberry flavor that comes through in every bite.
But one of the best things about this recipe is its nutritional profile.

Ingredients and Substitutes
Cottage cheese, blended 2% (1 3/4 cup) – Replace with Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat, or low-fat). You can also use silken tofu for a dairy-free and plant-based alternative.
Chia seeds (1/4 cup) – Swap with ground flaxseeds or psyllium husk.
Raspberries (2 cups) – Substitute with fresh or frozen berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
Maple syrup (2 tbsp) – Use honey, agave syrup, or date syrup. If you want to reduce the carb and calorie content, switch to a sugar-free syrup.
Gelatin powder (1/4 cup) – You can also use agar-agar for a plant-based alternative.
Water, room temperature (1 cup)
How to Make Nature’s Botox Raspberry Cottage Cheese Gummies
Step 1. Place the chia in a bowl with water and let them soak. Once they’re soaked, remove them and discard any remaining water.
Step 2. In another bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, maple syrup, and 1 cup of raspberries. Use a masher to mix the ingredients.
Step 3. Add the chia seeds and give it a good stir.
Step 4. In a small bowl that’s microwave-safe, combine the gelatin and the water. Place it in the microwave and heat in 30-second increments, making sure you mix well in between. It should take roughly 60-90 seconds.
Step 5. Pour the gelatin into the bowl with the cottage cheese and mix thoroughly.
Step 6. Pour the mix into a 4×9-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper and top it with the rest of the raspberries.
Step 7. Place the pan in the fridge and let it set for at least 1 hour. When it’s set, remove from the fridge and cut into 10 gummies.

Pin ItHow I Would Modify This Recipe
- Boost the protein: Add a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder to the cottage cheese mix.
- Kid-friendly: Use silicone gummy molds instead of a loaf pan to cut the mixture into fun shapes.
- Berry mix: If you want to add more flavor, I recommend using a berry mix instead of just raspberries.
My Storage Tips
Place any leftover gummies in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days. I don’t recommend freezing these gummies since they can become grainy after thawing.
These are great to meal prep if you want to keep a batch with you when your sweet cravings hit.
