Tips for Success
- Use Fresh Dates: Medjool dates are ideal for their natural sweetness and sticky texture, which helps bind the bites together. If your dates feel dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before blending.
- Get Creative with Add-Ins: Feel free to add a sprinkle of chia seeds or a dash of cinnamon to customize the flavor.
- Storage: Store these collagen bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks or in the freezer for longer shelf life.
