Ingredients:
48 oz unsweetened applesauce
2+ cups strawberries (or any berry/fine-chopped fruit of choice)
1/8 cup dried calendula (whole or partially whole)
1/8 cup dried chamomile (whole or partially whole)
1/8 cup dried echinacea (cut and sifted)
(Optional Add-ins: hemp protein powder, oats, quinoa, chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips—make it your own!
Instructions:
1. Cook the base
In a large pot, combine the applesauce and chopped fruit. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower heat and let simmer for about 1 hour. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
2. Cool it down
Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool to around 100–110°F. It should feel very warm but not hot to the touch.
3. Add the herbs
Mix in the dried herbs thoroughly. You can powder and sift them beforehand for a smoother texture—especially helpful for kids or picky eaters.
4. Spread it out
Spread the mixture evenly on parchment paper or a nonstick dehydrator mat.
5. Dehydrate
Place in your dehydrator and follow your machine’s temperature guidelines for fruits and vegetables. Dehydration time will vary depending on thickness and machine type—check periodically.
6. Roll, cut, and store
Once dried, peel it off, cut into strips, and roll them up! Store in an airtight container.
Why We Love These
We made these for a long car ride and moderate vacation stay. Our family’s digestion usually gets thrown off during travel, and our kids sometimes struggle to settle into new places. And somehow... someone always ends up catching a bug!
Pro tip:
Rollup brie, raw cheddar, cream cheese and/or your favorite nut on the inside.
These roll-ups are packed with gentle herbs that support:
🍃 Tummy comfort
💪 Immune support
😌 Nervous system calming
They’re a great go-to for road trips, vacation snacks, or just everyday wellness!
