Peanut Butter and Jelly Collagen Bites

Here at Tonic, we put out our fair share of collagen bite recipes. That’s because these recipes are easy, tasty, and such a simple way to get in your daily collagen along with some much-needed protein. But somehow, we’ve managed not to put out a peanut butter and jelly bite recipe until today. I know, I don’t understand how we’ve gone this long either. Peanut butter and jelly is one of the most classic flavor combinations; these flavors take us right back to our childhoods and sometimes having a piece of childhood makes it easier to get through the day.

We upgraded this childhood classic by incorporating Traditional Tonic Nourishing Collagen which contains collagen, protein, and amino acids to help support your body’s natural processes and keep you energized throughout your busy day. Make up a batch of these bites on Sunday and you’ll have a quick snack to grab on your way out the door all week.
