Snickers Energy Bites with collagen
These Date, Peanut Butter & Cacao Bites are a nourishing, deconstructed take on a classic Snickers-style treat—all the indulgent flavours of caramel, chocolate and nuts, but made entirely from wholesome ingredients.
Dates create that naturally sweet, caramel-like base while providing fibre and potassium to support sustained energy and digestion. Peanut butter brings richness along with plant protein and healthy fats to help keep blood sugar balanced and make these bites satisfyingly filling.
Ground almonds add vitamin E and magnesium for heart, muscle and brain health, while raw cacao delivers deep chocolate flavour alongside powerful antioxidants and mood-supporting compounds. If you include the collagen, it adds an extra boost for skin, joints and connective tissue.
Rolled in crunchy cashews, these little bites are the perfect feel-good snack when you want something chocolatey, nutty and naturally energising. 🍫🥜
