The "Internal Glow" Collagen Protein Bites
Gluten-Free | Refined Sugar-Free | High-Protein
These aren't your average "energy balls." This recipe is specifically designed with healthy fats to support your skin’s lipid barrier and high-quality protein to provide the amino acid building blocks for your natural collagen production.
Why it works for your skin:
Walnuts & Chia Seeds: Packed with Omega-3s to calm "inflammaging."
Cashew Butter: Provides zinc for skin cell repair.
Raw Honey: A natural enzyme-rich sweetener that won't cause the "sugar crash" breakouts associated with cane sugar.
The Ingredients:
- 1 cup Raw Cashew Butter (creamy is best)
- 1/4 cup Raw Honey or Maple Syrup
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Grass-Fed Whey or Pea Protein Powder
- 1/4 cup Ground Flaxseed
- 1/2 cup Finely Chopped Walnuts
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste (for that high-end flavor)
Optional: A pinch of Sea Salt to enhance the glow-nutrients.
These bites are designed to be a consistent part of your wellness ritual—providing a steady source of energy without the mid-afternoon crash. Store them in a glass jar in your refrigerator to keep the texture firm and the nutrients fresh. It’s a small, intentional choice for your body that pays off in how you feel throughout the week.
