    5-Ingredient Collagen Protein Bars

    Apr 13, 2022 • Breakfast, Snacks

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Hi friends! Going to make this short and sweet because my baby is going to wake up any minute. In this season of life I do not have the time or mental capacity to create long blog posts accompanying beautiful photos that I once did… now it’s “how can I get this up and on the blog asap” so they can make the recipe with me?!

    Does anyone even read blog posts anymore? I miss the old days.

    Okay, stay on task and make it snappy.

    5-Ingredient Collagen Protein Bars… I’ve been making these for a couple months now and finally getting around to sharing them! This is a highly requested recipe and I think that’s because of the glyphosate-free collagen powder I use but also because most of the protein bars/collagen bars on the market suck and have terrible, gut-irritating ingredients. At least that is my experience. If you’re anything like me, you are trying to stay away from the heavily processed protein bars that make me bloated or hurt my stomach… and go back to simplicity. And who doesn’t need a quick and yummy protein bar to grab on the go? Or to have as breakfast with fruit and yogurt or something? These bars save me sometimes I swear!

    Each bar has 9 grams of protein if you follow this recipe! Have 2 of them and you’re up to 18!

    Coconut flour, collagen powder, coconut milk, sunflower seed butter and maple syrup. That’s it! I have not tried it with any substitutions.

      I’m confused. I thought this was a vegan blog. This is real animal collagen?

        Same here! Glad I checked out her blog before I bought her book. Very disappointing.

    & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP. It was super oily & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP.

It was super oily and greasy with buildup from past products. I was washing daily… and just unhappy with the dullness and lack of volume. That has since changed!

Aside from getting transformed hair, this opportunity allows motivated women to have another income source. It allows mamas to have the best of both worlds - their own income while raising their babies (if you’re in that phase of life). It provides social media training, so much guidance and support (you’re never doing it alone), earned confidence and most importantly, community. Some of my best friends are here now because we talk daily and know everything about each other’s lives! Surrounding yourself with like-minded successful women can turn your life around. I’m not kidding. You are who you surround yourself with. It’s more than just shampoo. 

All it takes is deciding YES and stepping out of your comfort zone.  Don’t let life pass you by. Stop wondering and start taking action! 🥂 

If you’re ready, DM me BIZ and let’s chat 💞

    what healing looks like 🌼🩷 I starts out my what healing looks like 🌼🩷

I starts out my morning with a bunch of supplements to eliminate parasites and bacteria and repair my gut while supporting my liver and gallbladder. Next I make a protein smoothie with vanilla whey protein powder and a custom supplement to support my deficiencies. And lastly my creamy dandy blend latte because I’m not drinking coffee right now.

This is what works for me right now! I also have gf toast usually from @awgbakery. I’ve had to eliminate so many things but it’s all for good reason, to reduce all the inflammation. I’m working with @lifelabwellnessco if you would like your own custom plan and testing 🙏🏼 should I share more videos like this?
