The addition of mindbodygreen's grass-fed collagen+ in the bars enhances their nutrient density, as well as adds skin, gut, and joint benefits.* After all, collagen supplements have been shown to support skin hydration1 and smooth the appearance of fine lines, plus mbg's formula contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, sulforaphane, and vitamin E to enhance those benefits even further.* All those good-for-you ingredients seamlessly packed into a pan of easy, portable, no-bake bars? A snacktime dream, for sure.*

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats or instant oats
  • 2 scoops of mbg's grass-fed collagen+
  • 1 cup of nuts and seeds (your choice!), chopped into ¼-inch pieces
  • ½ cup prunes, chopped into ¼-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup creamy almond butter
  • ½ cup date syrup (I like Just Date Syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Method:

  1. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in one large bowl.
  2. Mix all of the wet ingredients in another bowl.
  3. Line a 9-inch-square baking pan with parchment paper.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix them together well with a wooden spoon until evenly combined.
  5. Now, transfer the mixture into the baking pan and make sure it is even, packing it down as much as possible with the spoon or something sturdy like a glass. Cover and put into the fridge overnight. Lift the bars out of the container and slice into four columns and four rows, making 16 bars.
  6. Wrap the bars individually in parchment paper (don't store them together or they will stick). You can keep them in the fridge for up to two weeks or two months in the freezer.
  7. Enjoy!
*If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications, consult with your doctor before starting a supplement routine. It is always optimal to consult with a health care provider when considering what supplements are right for you.
