Keto Collagen Cereal Bars

You just have to love a recipe that comes together using only 1 bowl, a microwave and is ready in under 10 minutes! Plus, did I mention that these keto collagen cereal bars are also sugar-free and packed with protein?!!

Grab your bowl, and your favourite high protein keto cereal and let's make these keto collagen cereal bars so that each and every day, you can start your morning off right!

Protein Collagen Peanut Butter Cereal Bars

You only need some simple ingredients to make these high protein cereal bars. You can use any type of keto cereal (or use my 5-Minute Skillet Keto Granola - Copycat Kiss My Keto recipe), some peanut butter (or any Homemade Nut Butter), coconut oil and collagen protein powder.

The only brand of collagen protein powder that I will use is by Naked Nutrition. They have plain, vanilla, caramel and chocolate collagen protein powders, all of which contain zero grams of sugar and only 1 gram of carb per serving.

Why it is important to do some research when it comes to collagen

It's crucial to research a company selling collagen protein powder to ensure you're investing in a safe, effective, and high-quality product. Not all supplements are created equal, and some may contain fillers, additives, or low-grade collagen that can reduce their benefits.

Research helps verify the company’s sourcing practices, ensuring that the collagen is sustainably and ethically derived, often from grass-fed or wild-caught sources.

It also allows you to check for third-party testing and certifications, confirming the product’s purity and safety. Doing thorough research protects your health and investment.

This is why I use only Naked Nutrition Collagen powder. Made in the USA from pasture-raised cows, Naked Nutrition uses no additives or preservatives.

Why are food additives bad for you?

Food additives can be harmful because many are synthetic chemicals that may negatively impact your health over time.

Certain additives, like artificial preservatives, colourings, and flavour enhancers, have been linked to allergic reactions, digestive issues, and even long-term health risks like cancer or heart disease.

They can also disrupt natural gut health and contribute to obesity or metabolic problems (have you heard of Obesogens?!!). While they may enhance flavour, shelf life, or appearance, the potential health risks make it important to limit your consumption of processed foods with additives.

Why everyone needs more collagen in their life!

Collagen is super important for keeping your body feeling and looking its best! It's a protein that helps strengthen your skin, hair, nails, joints, and even your gut.

As we get older, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles, achy joints, and weaker hair or nails. Adding more collagen to your diet can give your skin a natural glow, improve your joint flexibility, and even help your digestion.

It’s like giving your body an internal boost to keep you feeling stronger and healthier every day!

Making Low Carb Collagen Bars

Here are the basic steps to making these keto protein collagen bars:

Step 1 - Combine your cereal

• In a large bowl, toss together your cereal and toss to combine (Tip - I used 3 different kinds of cereal, one of which was protein crisps and the other was lupin flakes, of various sizes to ensure that the cereal would stick together)

Step 2 - Melt the peanut butter and coconut oil

• In a large measuring cup, add the coconut oil and peanut butter and melt in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.

Step 3 - Add the collagen and stir

• Add the collagen to the peanut butter mixture and stir to combine.
• Pour the mixture over the cereal, tossing to coat the cereal with the peanut butter collagen mixture.
• Taste the mixture and add additional sweetener or salt to suit your taste.

Step 4 - Chill and drizzle with chocolate

• Evenly divide the mixture into 12 cereal bars (Tip - I like using a cookie scoop to keep them the same size)
• Place the protein collagen peanut butter cereal bars in the fridge to harden
• Optional - Melt 3 oz of chocolate in the microwave - Stir in 1 scoop of collagen into the chocolate and drizzle the chocolate over the low carb collagen bars.

• Keep the bars in the fridge until ready to eat.
