When it comes to dessert in the summertime, we go straight for the cool-me-down treats! These Watermelon Popsicles not only do just the trick, but also hit the spot with their sweet summer flavor.
This recipe calls for three simple ingredients that pack in a ton a flavor, while also sneaking in some hidden benefits. No surprise, the base of this recipe is fresh watermelon. Simply add the key ingredient to a blender with a touch of honey for sweetness and the base is ready to go. Then you’ll add Vital Proteins® Original Collagen Peptides ($27; shop now), with 20g collagen peptides per serving, to up your daily collagen peptides intake. Did we mention this recipe has it all?
Trying to impress friends or family? We also love to add some fresh sliced fruit to the popsicle molds, such as cut strawberries, to add additional flavor AND make each popsicle even cuter! Just blend and freeze and you’re all set with the perfect summer treat whenever you need to cool down.
