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 protein-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 nails, skin firmness, and moisture levels.* mbg’s grass-fed collagen+ in chocolate has additional good-for-you ingredients, like vitamin C, SGS, and hyaluronic acid, to further support skin health.* Plus, it’s made with premium organic Peruvian cocoa and coconut sugar, offering a smooth, subtle flavor that enhances the chocolaty taste.*

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.

 Chocolate Collagen Fudge Ice Pop

Ingredients:

  • 2 large ripe bananas (make sure your bananas are really brown on the outside and mushy—that will bring out the sweetness!)
  • 2 cups milk (I like to use oat milk, but you can use almond, coconut, cow’s, etc.)
  • 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp. mbg’s grass-fed collagen+ in chocolate
  • 1 to 2 dates (for a sweeter ice pop!)

Method:

  1. Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth
  2. Pour ice pop mixture into molds and freeze for about 4 hours
  3. Enjoy once frozen, or store in a freezer bag or container for up to 1 month!
