Summer is in full swing and what’s better than cooling off from the summer’s heat with a refreshing ice cold popsicle? One that is homemade, and packed with fruit, electrolytes, protein and collagen peptides!

I recently received Vital Protein’s melon mint beauty water (one of three varieties) and was dying to play around with it. Refreshing all on its own, but I was wondering how can I spruce this up. Alas, having just been to the farmer’s market, I was inspired by the fresh fruit and herbs. I grabbed some strawberries and mint and got to work!
