Correxiko Lemon Zest Collagen Cookies
They are simple, quick, and healthy! Plus, they are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside - perfect.
These delicious collagen cookies are a healthier choice for those who love sweet treats and in particular, cookies! They are made with nutrient-rich ingredients that make them a delicious treat that everyone will love.
Ground almonds provide a boost of protein, fibre, and healthy fats, which help maintain steady energy levels and give you that feeling of fullness. Correxiko Marine collagen peptide powder takes care of both beauty and wellbeing needs, making these cookies not just delicious but a creative way to get more collagen goodness into your day.
Coconut oil replaces butter, making these cookies dairy-free, while maple syrup offers a natural, unrefined sweetener with a lower glycemic impact than traditional refined sugar. The fresh lemon juice and zest add a fresh, vibrant flavour that is really moreish and offers the added support of extra vitamin C.
These cookies are perfect for anyone looking for a low-refined-sugar option or following a dairy-free diet, and can easily be made gluten-free by using coconut or another gluten-free flour. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, they’re a delicious way to incorporate collagen into your day while enjoying a healthier sweet treat.
