Collagen Macadamia Snack Bites

Oct 1, 2017 Naomi Whittel

I love discovering new ways to get them into my family’s diet on a daily basis, and even though the word “polyphenol” conjures up images of complex recipes in the kitchen, trust me that it really is easy! Snack foods are notorious for containing processed ingredients (such as low-quality oils and refined sugars) are no match for this hearty snack, perfect for after school or at work. The polyphenol-rich flax seeds, prunes, cardamom, cinnamon and orange zest add subtle flavor and powerful health benefits. If you want an added beauty boost, add 2 teaspoons of collagen for extra protein (and beautiful, glowing skin too!)
