A Frozen Aperol Spritz Cocktail Is The Drink Of The Summer (Now With Collagen!)
Ah, the beloved Aperol spritz—it's the drink of the summer, if you will. So when registered dietitian nutritionist Mascha Davis, MPH, RDN, founder of Nomadista Nutrition and author of Eat Your Vitamins, offered up a twist on the classic cocktail, we figured we'd be remiss not to share.
In her healthy recipe, you'll still get those unique, sweet-bitter notes from oranges and rhubarb, with no added sugar. Plus, this version features collagen, which throws some beauty benefits to the mix: "Collagen powder might be beneficial for skin, hair, and nail health, and it might help support muscle mass1 as well as improve joint 2comfort," Davis explains.* In fact, clinical studies have shown that collagen supplements are able to promote collagen and elastin production3, as well as maintain healthy moisture levels and smoothing fine lines4.* Quite the upgrade to your summer sip.
And because it's frozen, this icy spritz is ultra-refreshing on a scorching summer day. Of course, if you'd rather a cocktail on the rocks, this recipe is incredibly easy to remodel: Simply skip the blender and stir all the ingredients in a pitcher for a classic cocktail.
