Need An Oh-So-Refreshing Frozen Treat? Try This Chocolate Collagen Fudge Pop
Remember those creamy frozen fudge pops of your childhood? Consider a nutritious twist: This frozen dream is equally fudgy (thanks to the ripe bananas) and naturally sweetened with dates. Plus, adding collagen to these fudge ice pops can make for a nutrient-packed, sweet treat in the summertime.
Not to mention, supplementing with collagen has some pretty promising beauty benefits: Studies have shown that hydrolyzed collagen powder can promote strong nails1, skin firmness, and moisture levels2.* mbg's beauty & gut chocolate collagen+ has additional good-for-you ingredients, like vitamin C, vitamin E, biotin, L-glutamine, and hyaluronic acid, to further support skin health.*
And what makes these options so refreshingly (yet subtly!) sweet is the collagen powder's organic cocoa and organic monk fruit. This better-for-you blend makes for the ultimate inside-out support with zero sugar and no unpleasant aftertaste.*
Serve up these fudge pops as you bask in the sunshine this long weekend—you'll have a decadent, refreshing treat the whole family will love.
