Here are our Top 7 Quick & Easy Christmas Treats that everyone will enjoy!
1. No Bake Collagen Cookie Dough Bites
Who doesn’t LOVE cookie dough bites?
These treats are easy to make and have MANY hidden benefits! This healthy recipe can be made from all the random ingredients found in the back of your kitchen pantry. All you need is collagen!
Collagen Switch has multiple benefits for your body, inside and out. It supports tissue repair, and healthy hair, skin, and nails, but also is extremely gentle on the gut with added digestive enzymes.
Why Collagen? Collagen is the most abundant form of protein in the human body, it makes up around 30% of our total protein, 90% of our connective tissue and 70% of our skin! We need to give the collagen in our body some extra love, this way we can stay strong not only on the outside but the inside too.
This recipe is filled with the best collagen on the market; marine collagen which has a total of 9.5g of collagen per 12.5g serve. Each cookie dough bite is packed tightly with goodness and there is no bake time, simply store it in the freezer.
These cookie dough bites are perfect for Christmas nibbles; share them around with the family and give your family some extra loving with the hidden benefits.
Craving something savory? Give these ones a try! These are perfect for the kids and are filled with goodness.
This recipe is quick and delicious; these protein-based pizzas are ready in just 1 hour and will have the kids' bellies full for hours.
This recipe features our famous WPI protein. This is our hydrolysed whey protein isolate, which means it's the quickest absorbing or digesting protein in the market. Plus we've added in Digizyme™. Digizyme™ is a digestive enzyme blend that has been shown to enhance the absorption of protein and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness.
The unflavoured WPI is perfect for treats like this, it is flavourless and gives your body what it needs to maintain energy for an extended time.
Every Christmas platter NEEDS a choccy slice!
This three-layered bar will hit your sweet tooth in one bite! This recipe is a variation on a Twix bar, made healthy!
The Swix bar starts off with an organic shortbread base, then a peanut butter protein filling, then topped with a tasty crunchy chocolate coat.
The slice is filled with WPI, a good source of protein that will help your belly feel fuller, for longer. However, this recipe features our delicious Peanut Butter Brittle flavour WPI.
4. Giant Protein Peanut Butter Cups
These PB cups are INCREDIBLE! Not only are they yummy, but they are also very low in calories and will fix your cravings immediately.
Simple recipe; rice cakes, Protein Switch (Peanut Butter), Peanut Butter coconut oil, chop chips and salt. That’s it! Low in calories, and high in protein. But most importantly, they only take 30 minutes to make.
Under the chocolate top layer, there is a mixture of Protein Switch and peanut butter. Protein Switch is Switch Nutritions plant protein, but it goes way beyond other plant proteins in the market. One, we don't use any rice protein, so there's no grittiness and no heavy metals. Two, with added Digezime ™ so it's going to digest it and enhance the absorption better. However, plant protein is slower to digest and requires more energy for digestion. So it's going to help boost your metabolism and keep you satiated, or full, for longer.
This recipe is fantastic! It is light, filling, and easy to make. Let the kids try making them this Christmas!
