This ashwagandha beet gummy recipe pairs two earthy ingredients with a bright, fruity base. You infuse ashwagandha root and beet into MCT oil, then blend that oil into LĒVO’s Raspberry Gummy Mix. The sweet-tart berry flavor leads, while the ashwagandha and beet add an earthy depth underneath. It’s a soft, chewy homemade ashwagandha gummy with a grown-up flavor profile, and it’s straightforward to make at home. Here’s how.
What Does Ashwagandha Pair With?
Earthy ingredients need a bright partner, and a Raspberry base is exactly that. Ashwagandha is an earthy, slightly bitter root, and beet brings its own earthy, mineral sweetness. On their own, both would be a lot. Set against a sweet-tart berry flavor, they turn into a rounded, layered backnote instead of an overpowering one. The beet also adds a gentle, almost candy-like sweetness that plays well with berry. One thing worth knowing: beet’s red pigment is water-soluble, so infusing it into oil carries its flavor rather than its color. The berry mix is what gives these gummies their color.
An Evening Treat With an Earthy Twist
These gummies taste more like dessert than candy. The raspberry flavor is sweet without being sugary-loud, and the earthy finish makes it feel like something you’d reach for after dinner instead of mid-afternoon. They’re also an easy evening project. Start the infusion after dinner, and you’ll have a tray of gummies setting in the fridge by bedtime, ready the next day.
What is Ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha is a dried root used in Ayurvedic tradition and one of the most popular botanicals for home infusing. It has a warm, earthy, slightly bitter flavor, which is why it pairs best with a bold, sweet base. Here it’s a flavor and infusion ingredient, folded into a berry gummy.

How to Dry Beets for Infusing
Beet holds a lot of moisture, and moisture is the enemy of a clean oil infusion. The fix is to dry the shredded beet first. If you have a LĒVO II, II+, or Lux, its dry cycle removes the excess water, which protects the oil and gives you a better infusion. Run the beet through a dry cycle before it goes anywhere near the oil. It’s a small extra step that makes a real difference in the final result.
How to Make Ashwagandha Beet Infused Oil
Once the beet is dried, both botanicals infuse together in one batch. LĒVO’s MCT oil is flavorless and colorless, so it carries the ashwagandha and beet without adding a taste of its own, and it blends smoothly into a warm gummy mix. Add the dried beet and ashwagandha to your LĒVO, pour in the oil, and run the infuse cycle at 160 to 165°F. For adjusting strength or trying other botanicals, LĒVO’s Time & Temp Calculator has recommended settings for each one.

How to Make Ashwagandha Gummies
With your infused oil ready, the gummies come together quickly in the Gummy Candy Mixer. Combine the gummy mix with water, run the first cycle to heat and stir, then add the infused oil and run the second cycle to blend it in. Pour into molds and chill until set. The strength lives in the oil, so how much you add sets how pronounced the ashwagandha reads.
How Much Infused Oil Should You Use?
This recipe uses four tablespoons of infused oil per batch, which gives a clear earthy depth without overwhelming the berry. On a first batch, start on the lighter side and adjust to taste next time. Because you infuse more oil than one batch needs, you’ll have extra to keep on hand. As with any functional botanical, if you’re pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, check with a clinician before making it a regular habit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does ashwagandha taste like in a gummy?
Earthy and slightly bitter. A bold, sweet base like Raspberry balances it, so the berry leads and the ashwagandha sits underneath.
Does beet change the color of the gummies?
Not in an oil infusion. Beet’s red pigment is water-soluble, so infusing it into oil carries its earthy-sweet flavor, not its color. The berry gummy mix provides the color here.
Can you infuse ashwagandha and beet together?
Yes. Once the beet is dried to remove moisture, both infuse well into MCT oil in a single batch.
