The best thing about this sugar-free chocolate date pudding is that it’s so delicious, yet so easy to make.

The most abundant protein in our bodies, collagen, is found in our muscles, skin, bones, blood vessels and digestive tract. Collagen is incredibly important for nourishing a leaky gut back to a healthy state. These chocolate bars are a super healthy and indulgent way to benefit from the blessing of collagen and are also an excellent post-workout snack to help repair muscles.

With just chia seeds, nuts, banana, berries, dates and a little wholemeal flour, this sugar-free dessert can be enjoyed knowing you are caring for your body, but still enjoying the sweetness, colour and flavour of a decadent dessert.

Finally, a yummy gummy that’s good for your tummy. Bring it on!
