Next Thursday is July 4. And there will be lots of celebration and fireworks going on outside your house.
But, why not ensure the party is POPPIN’ inside as well by inviting the kiddos into the kitchen and throwing together these easy, delicious, and nutritious collagen-infused raspberry PB & J poppers!
According to a study done by the The Berry Health Benefits Network:
Red Raspberries contain strong antioxidants such as Vitamin C, quercetin and gallic acid. They are high in ellagic acid, a known chemopreventative, and have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties.

Recipe Tips
- You can mix the ingredients in a bowl scoop them into your baggie or a proper piping bag if you have one
- Also, raspberries tend breakdown in extreme heat, so I’d keep these indoors or serve immediately to avoid them getting too mushy!
- You can easily make this with a few Tablespoons of a Nut Butter of your choosing. Just steer clear from ‘no-stir’ versions and look for ones that without a bunch of extra sugar or oils.
- You can freeze these little gems and have them as a frozen treat for up to 3 months
