Healthy Homemade Berries and Cream Collagen Powder Popsicles

It is HOT, HOT, HOT in Southern California right now. Despite living across the street from the beach, the heat has been sweltering. For the first time all summer, I’ve been able to surf in just my bikini, with the Pacific Ocean hosting nearly 80 degree temperatures! As someone who loves to cook, I’ve been avoiding clocking too much time in my kitchen. Quick and cooling meals, and al fresco dining on our patio has been the name of the game. Another fun addition to my beat-the-heat routine has been popsicles!
When it comes to making my own sweet treats, I try to keep them as healthy as possible. So when Ancient Nutrition sent me their Strawberry Lemonade Collagen Powder, I had the fun idea to mix the summery flavor into a cooling dessert, and so my homemade collagen powder popsicles came to fruition.
I’d never made homemade popsicles before, and I can’t believe how easy it is. Snag this kit on Amazon, and with just a few healthy ingredients, you’ll have perfect popsicles to tantalize your taste buds.
I’ve been a fan of Ancient Nutrition for a while. I use their Organic Supergreens powder for my smoothies, and their vanilla flavored Keto Plant Protein in my morning latte. The brand is the brainchild of one of my go-to sources for reputable health news and insight: Dr. Axe. Josh Axe is a doctor of natural medicine, chiropractic physician and clinical nutritionist. He’s written books about the importance of gut health, the benefits of essential oils, and how the keto diet can be beneficial for balancing hormones, managing weight and boosting overall health.
So why collagen powder popsicles? Well, while some collagen powders offer a tasteless experience, perfect for adding to just about anything, sometimes you want the enhancement of flavor to add to certain recipes. The strawberry lemonade flavor screams summer, and the powder is perfect for adding to a refreshing mocktail, a nourishing smoothie, and an icy dessert.
Ancient Nutrition’s Strawberry Lemonade is a fun twist on the brand’s best selling Multi Collagen Protein — featuring 5 different collagen types. The powder supports joint health, promotes healthy skin, and supports a healthy gut. It’s naturally sweetened with stevia leaf, is free of fake flavors and food dyes, comes in a BPA-free container, and is packed with 9 grams of protein per serving!
This healthy homemade collagen powder popsicles recipe combines the creamy, richness of Greek yogurt with the sweetness and tartness of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. A touch of honey and vanilla extract boosts the sweetness the healthy way!
