Smoothies and Jeuneora-pops with Renew+

As well as smoothies, you can also add Jeuneora Marine Collagen to homemade ice blocks for an easy yet super refreshing collagen-pop.

You can use any smoothie or iceblock/popsicle recipe you like (providing it mixes well with the pineapple taste of Renew+ which contains pineapple extract (bromelain) and pineapple powder).

Some of these recipes will serve more than one. If you have left over and no-one to share with, then pop the left over into some iceblock moulds and voila! You have frozen treats on hand!

Enjoy!

4. Kiwi Crush Pops

All you need to make delicious popsicles/ice blocks is an ice block mould (we just got ours from The Warehouse or Kmart!)

One kiwifruit, peeled and sliced
Cranberry juice (no added sugar if you can find it)
1 scoop Renew+
Water

Place a slice of kiwifruit in each ice block mould up against the side, so it sticks. Blend together cranberry juice, water, and Renew+ until you get a taste you are happy with, then add leftover kiwifruit if you still have some! Carefully pour the liquid into the moulds, add the sticks or lids to the top and place in freezer!

5. Clean summer pops

These are another clean and easy treat!

For the Green Envy Pops:
1 ripe banana (or even frozen banana)
Some fresh spinach (around a handful)
1 scoop Renew+
1/2 cup Coconut or almond milk

For the Orange Pops:
frozen mango chunks (leave some un-blended to pop in the iceblock mould)
Half a banana
1 scoop Renew+
1/2 cup Coconut milk

Berries and Cream Pops:

Make a smoothie mixture of:
Blueberries
1 scoop Renew+
approx. 1/2 cup of milk or nut milk

Pour the smoothie mix in the moulds and once it's settled pour a little runny cream on the top. (These are a particular favourite in our house)

We hope that gives you a bit of inspiration to get into the kitchen and have a bit of fun figuring out creative ways to add a little collagen into your day!
