It might be quite the mouthful.. “chocolate pecan collagen fudge bars”, but man these no-bake freezer bars are no joke. They are soft, chewy, creamy, fudge-y, a little crunchy and oh so satisfying. Yes they really do have all that going on. Even better, you don’t need to feel bad about eating these! They are loaded with clean, nourishing ingredients like dates, collagen, raw cacao and pecans. These are the perfect afternoon pick me up or pre/post workout snack. Or that little something something when you’ve finished your dinner and are feeling peckish for something a little sweet.
For those who don’t know much about collagen, it is the most abundant form of protein in our body! Unfortunately, most of us don’t get enough of this amazing protein. Collagen is basically the glue that holds us together.. our hair, bones, skin, nails, gut lining, and so many other things are all made up of collagen. Collagen can improve the growth of your hair and nails, reduce overall inflammation, support a healthy gut, improve the complexion of your skin, and support bone and cartilage growth! I encourage you to look into collagen supplements yourself to get a better understanding of what its all about!
I absolutely love the combination of pecans and chocolate in this bar. However, you could easily replace the pecans for any kind of nut that you like. Im sure this would also be amazing with hazelnuts (hello fudge-y Nutella flavour), coconut (hello bounty bar), almonds or cashews!
