Ingredient Highlights
Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants and helps lower blood sugar levels and inflammation.
Collagen helps maintain the structure and integrity of skin, hair, nails, muscle tissue, bones, tendons, and more. Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens includes targeted nutrients such as zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 which enhance the bioavailability and potency of collagen.
Dark chocolate is high in antioxidants, rich in fiber, and contains minerals such as iron, magnesium, copper, and manganese.
Kiwifruit helps remove toxins from the intestinal tract, which can improve your immune system and metabolism.
Lemon essential oil is made from the rind of the fruit, not the flesh, and is excellent for both digestion and detoxification.
Orange essential oil can be beneficial for those suffering from stomach issues such as excess gas and constipation.
Virgin coconut oil will give your foods a slight coconut flavor whereas refined coconut oil has a neutral scent and flavor which makes it better for recipes where you don’t want the taste of coconut.
Hi Katrina I have made these & I must say they are yummy. It helps to have not very soft kiwis as a couple of mine where probably a little over ripe so as I put popsicle stick in it broke a little. No big deal . Just put without stick. I also found that I had a lot of leftover choc left over so I just dipped some strawberries in. They where also yummy. Will be making them again for sure. Nice cool summertime treat. Thanks for your wonderful recipes!
