Instead of adding granola or energy bars to your grocery list this week, try out this perfect on-the-go Healthy Breakfast Bar recipe that satisfies any sweet tooth. All you need is a handful of ingredients and about two hours, tops.
This recipe features Vital Proteins Mixed Berry Collagen Peptides, a combination of organic blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry and cherry powder. The fruit-forward flavor is a staple, but what really stands out is the product’s main ingredient: our Collagen Peptides. Not only are they odorless and flavorless, but our Collagen Peptides help to support stronger hair, skin, nails and joints.** What more could you want in a breakfast bar?
