Zesty Lemon Protein Collagen Bar

If you’re a lover of lemon and zesty flavours then this Lemon Protein Collagen Bar is bound to make you one happy human. Incorporating protein, from both almond meal and a good quality protein + collagen powder with a touch of vanilla and honey to sweeten the deal. Coconut oil is the final binding ingredient and necessary for the bar to solidify.

These bars are easy to whip together in a bowl, no blending or food processor required to make a truly delicious snack in no time at all. You can swap lemon out for lime or orange as you wish.

(I use Chief Collagen Protein Powder Unflavoured for this recipe because it’s the best quality combined protein and collagen I’ve come across in the market. If you wish to purchase, use code JACQ10 at checkout for 10% off your order)
