Packed with clean ingredients and supercharged with Beauty & Cutie’s Beauty Fuel, this gluten-free recipe is a delicious way to nourish your body—no oven required.

Why We Love Beauty Fuel in This Recipe

Beauty Fuel is one of the most innovative formulas in the Beauty & Cutie lineup. It combines:

• Collagen peptides – to support firmer skin, stronger hair, and healthier nails.

• Caffeine – for clean energy without the crash.

• Beet root extract – a natural nitric oxide booster that may improve blood flow and endurance.

• Watermelon fruit extract – rich in antioxidants and hydrating electrolytes to support skin vitality and cellular health.

By incorporating Beauty Fuel into your snack routine, you’re not just satisfying your hunger—you’re also nourishing your skin, boosting your energy, and enhancing workout recovery. These bites are especially ideal for mornings, afternoon slumps, or pre-gym pick-me-ups.

The Benefits of These Collagen Bites (Beyond Taste)

Let’s break down the beauty, energy, and wellness benefits of each core ingredient:

🧬 Collagen Peptides

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, but production naturally declines with age. By adding Beauty Fuel’s hydrolyzed collagen peptides, you’re supporting your body’s ability to maintain:

• Skin elasticity and smoothness

• Stronger, thicker hair

• Healthy nail growth

• Joint and ligament resilience

⚡ Caffeine (from Beauty Fuel)

Unlike coffee or energy drinks that can leave you jittery, the caffeine in Beauty Fuel is balanced with protein and healthy fats from almond butter. This means a smoother energy boost that supports focus and stamina—without a crash.

❤️ Beet Root Extract

Beet root is a favorite among athletes for a reason. It’s known to increase nitric oxide in the body, which may help:

• Improve circulation and oxygen flow

• Support stamina and endurance

• Reduce fatigue during workouts

It also contributes to that signature red hue and adds antioxidant power.

🍉 Watermelon Fruit Extract

Watermelon is more than a summer treat. This extract is rich in lycopene, vitamin C, and amino acids, all of which support hydration, skin radiance, and post-workout recovery.

Recipe: No-Bake Collagen Energy Bites with Beauty Fuel

Ingredients:

• 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats

• ¼ cup Beauty Fuel collagen powder

• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• ½ cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

• ¼ cup raw honey or maple syrup

• ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for extra indulgence)

✨ Optional Add-Ins:

• 1 tbsp chia seeds for extra fiber

• 1 tsp cinnamon for blood sugar support

• A pinch of pink sea salt for trace minerals

Instructions:

1. Mix dry ingredients
   In a large mixing bowl, stir together rolled oats, Beauty Fuel powder, cocoa powder, and any optional add-ins like chia or cinnamon.

2. Add wet ingredients
   Pour in almond butter and honey (or maple syrup). Use a spatula or your hands to mix until everything is fully combined. The texture should be thick and sticky.

3. Fold in chocolate chips
   Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips for a touch of sweetness and crunch.

4. Roll into balls
   Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into 1-inch bites. If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes first.

5. Chill & store
   Place bites in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

💡 Tip: You can also freeze the bites and thaw them for a few minutes before enjoying. Perfect for on-the-go or travel days!
