Chocolate Banana Collagen Snack Bars made with gluten-free ingredients for a healthy collagen-filled snack!Chocolate Banana Collagen Snack Bars

Chocolate Banana Collagen Snack Bars, oh my gosh. You won me over as soon as I suck my teeth into these gems.

Filled with creamy nut butter, mashed bananas, chocolate and the real star of the show – collagen peptides.

Collagen peptides have been a key ingredient here on the blog in many many recipes. I use them in a variety of foods like my egg-free Zucchini Brownies, Homemade Collagen Bread and more. It is a staple in my daily life, whether I add it to my hot tea or smoothie or bake and cook with it. It is also something I do recommend investing in. I know collagen peptides aren’t the cheapest item to purchase, but you get a solid bang for your buck.

I use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, which comes from grass-fed cows and their Marine Collagen from wild caught fish. They make a variety of amazing collagen products and even have some flavored offerings.

By adding collagen into my daily eats, I am giving an extra boost of protein to the recipe, benefiting my hair skin and nails, joint health and digestion. Told ya it is worth the investment. I have Jord, my Mom and my Mother-in-law now all hooked too on Vital Proteins.

When you add the collagen peptide (or marine collagen) to this recipe, you don’t even taste it! I recommend using the unflavored varieties for this so you really taste the banana and chocolate flavors of the bars.

These Chocolate Banana Collagen Snack Bars are gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free. They stay well on the counter and if you leave in the fridge, they are good for about a week! I also froze some and have been defrosting them to add to my yogurt bowls with granola for breakfast (so good!).
