These lightly sweet, chewy bars are rich in protein, healthy fats and of course collagen, containing 5 grams per bar. Because of their fat content they get a little oily, so enjoy chilled. Perfect as a quick breakfast, pre or post workout snack, or as a meal replacement when you’re on the run. No time to make your own collagen bars? Try the new Sproos Bar! Just like this recipe, it’s grain free, sweetened with dates and rich in fat, protein and fibre. And, they are a great way to have your Sproos collagen and eat it too. Available in 3 flavours.
