Easy, Customizable Energy Boost
If you follow along here then you know working out is an essential to my life. It’s good for the mind, body and soul. I cannot say enough good things about getting your body moving and sweating out the tension.
These pre-workout gummies are a fun, easy way to get an energy boost before your workout without drinking a full pre-workout beverage. Made with your favorite pre-workout powder, water, and gelatin, they’re quick to prep, easy to portion, and customizable based on your preferred caffeine level.
I started making these after realizing that drinking pre-workout too quickly made me feel jittery. Turning it into gummies allowed me to spread out the dose, control how much I took, and still get the energy I needed to power through intense workouts.
How to Make This Pre-Workout Gummies Recipe
- Mix your favorite pre-workout with water.
- Heat mixture in a medium saucepan on medium-high just before it starts to boil. You should see wisps of smoke coming off the liquid, but it should not be boiling.
- Remove it from the heat, add the gelatin, and whisk constantly until completely dissolved.
- Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear mold.
- Chill for 10 minutes and enjoy.
Molly’s Tips
- Pre-workout powder can lose effectiveness if overheated. Heat the liquid just until steaming (never boiling) before adding gelatin. This keeps the gummies effective and prevents grainy texture.
- As someone who works out consistently and has tested these gummies with different pre-workout brands, I’ve found they’re best when used 15–20 minutes before training. Because you can eat them gradually, they provide a smoother energy ramp compared to drinking pre-workout all at once.

I just got here from a search. RE: “Choose your favorite pre-workout and mix it with water!” I’m assuming this means some kind of pre-workout beverage, but it doesn’t say.
Hey there! Yes, you need a pre-workout mix. The recipe card gives instructions!
This recipe makes 80, yes EIGHTY, gummies! Eating 80 gummies to consume a single serving of pre workout is unrealistic.
Would this also work with powder for an endurance drink (carb and electrolytes mix)? Looking for some variety to take with me on long bicycle rides along with my nut bars etc.
Hey there! I haven’t tried this but I think it would work. Let me know if you try it!
Cool idea – a way to use a pre workout I didn’t end up loving 🙂 thanx .
