Collagen Brownie Bites

This recipe is made for those with PCOS, acne and blood sugar dysregulation as it is super high in protein, MCT fats and low in added sugars which is something I am always discussing with my clients in clinic.

The reason I absolutely love this collagen powder is because collagen forms all of the structural elements of our bodies and is the most abundant protein in the body. This snack or dessert is a staple for me as I am always trying to regulate my blood sugars without snacks becoming boring. 

I use collagen powder for most of my clients to replace conventional ‘protein powders’ as I find they can be harsh on the digestion and grainy in texture and it is wonderful to use in bliss balls or a recipe like this to replace dates and coconut sugar which I find creates a larger glucose spike.
