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!

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!

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

Method

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!

Clean summer popsicles

These are another clean and easy treat - here are three flavours you can choose from. All you need to do is blend into a smoothie and then pour into ice block moulds.

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

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:

• Handful of Blueberries
• 1 scoop Renew+
• approx. 1/2 cup of milk or nut milk
• Pour a little bit of runny cream on top once you have poured into the moulds.
