🍉 Ingredients
(Makes approximately 6 popsicles)
-
4-5 cups Fresh Watermelon, diced
-
2-3 Fresh Kiwi, peeled and sliced
-
½ cup Greek Yogurt or Dairy-Free Alternative
-
1-2 scoops Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides (Unflavoured)
🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Blend the Watermelon Base: In a high-speed blender, add your diced watermelon and the unflavoured collagen peptides powder. Blend on high until completely smooth with no remaining fruit chunks.
-
Prepare the Kiwi Layer: Separately blend the peeled kiwi in a clean blender, set it aside in a small bowl, and temporarily refrigerate.
-
First Freeze: Pour your smooth watermelon mixture into your favorite popsicle molds, filling them to about 70% capacity. Add your popsicle sticks and place them level in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until the top layer is completely firm.
-
Add the Yogurt Layer: Remove the molds from the freezer and carefully layer in a spoonful of yogurt onto the frozen watermelon layer. Return to the freezer and chill until firm (about 45 minutes).
-
Add the Kiwi Layer: Remove the molds one last time and top them off with your chilled, blended kiwi mixture. Refreeze until the entire popsicle is completely solid.
-
Unmold and Enjoy: Run the outside of the molds under warm water for 5 seconds to easily release your treats, and enjoy a healthy dose of glowing hydration!
