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.

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