Strawberry Orange Collagen Frozen Pops

Directions

1. Wash the strawberries and remove the green stems. Peel oranges, removing as much of the white pith as you can. 

2. Place fruit in the blender.  Blend on high speed until fruit becomes a frothy liquid. 

3. If you prefer smooth, less textured pops, strain the fruit juice through a fine mesh sieve. The navel oranges should be seedless, but strain the juice if you do happen to see a seed.

4. Pour juice into a pitcher or glass measuring cup with a spout. Using a fork, whisk in 1 scoop of collagen peptides until completely dissolved. 

5. Place 1–2 strawberry slices (depending on how large the strawberry slices are) into each pop mold.

6. Pour juice into each mold, leaving about one-quarter inch of room at the top (the pops will expand some as they freeze). 

7. Place tops of the pop molds onto the frame and slide into the freezer for about 5 hours, or until frozen solid. 

8. If using a mold that does not come with sticks, place pop mold into the freezer for 2 hours. Remove from freezer and insert sticks into the middle of each pop. Place back in the freezer for another 3 hours, or until completely frozen.

9. Once frozen, unmold pops from the mold and enjoy.
