Birthday Cake Protein Bites ✨ Rolling into bir Birthday Cake Protein Bites ✨ 

Rolling into birthday week with THE most delicious & super festive snack which of course I had to share with you because yummy snacks are great & all but for me they’re always 10 x more enjoyable when shared with a friend (FYI - thats you, boo 😘) !

Super simple, IN-sanely delicious - think the flavors of cake batter with the texture of cookie dough (+ alll of the sprinkles because it is a celebration after all) - it’s the sneaky snack you never knew you always needed!

1 bowl + 10 mins . . . come celebrate with me!!! 🥳

Here’s how you do it; 

Makes 12

🌟1/2 C almond flour
🌟4 tbsp cashew butter
🌟1 tbsp maple syrup (I use sugar free)
🌟1 tsp vanilla
🌟2 Tbsp vanilla protein - I ❤️ @ macr0mike plant based sf vanilla buttercream (or white choc) almond protein 🔥🙌🏻 (vanilla collagen creamer works great too, haven’t tested any others , sry)
🌟a pinch of flakey sea salt
🌟a splash of water - as needed - go easy, start with 1/4 tsp at a time - just enough to bring it together to form a dough
🌟SPRINKLESSSSSSSSSS - measure with your ❤️

✳️Place all ingredients except for your sprinkles into a small bowl & stir to combine.
✳️Scoop & roll your into desired shape & size. Set aside
✳️Caaarrreeefulllllly pour your sprinkles in (or on)to a small bowl or rimmed plate (when I say carefully I mean carefully - those things will ricochet all over your kitchen floor & you will be stepping on them / cursing me for months . . . so pls be careful!!!)
✳️Roll your birthday cake protein bites in sprinkles, gently press them as you rotate to make sure the sprinkles stick.
✳️Enjoy xo

What would your dream birthday treat be? tell me, tell me, details pls . . .
{Sugar free-Dairy free} peppermint mocha✨ Aka w {Sugar free-Dairy free} peppermint mocha✨

Aka what’s helping get me through the next 3 days!! 😬

The decadent richness of cacao + a gentle hum (or loud rev if you prefer) of espresso & a subtle hint of minty freshness 🤤

And yes, if you aren’t a fan of coffee (pls tell me how we’re friends again?! jk - you know ILY) you can just leave it out & have yourself a dreamy choc mint chiller instead. It will still be incredible just not quite as magical IMO.

No added sugar ✅
Packed with protein ✅
Rich in magnesium ✅
Loaded with gut-healing goodness ✅

Seriously, so good! Starbucks who?! 🙊

I can’t think of a better way to start, end or fill the day than binge watching Christmas movies with a cup of this deliciousness!

🌟2-3 shots of brewed espresso / 1 sachet mocha @beforeyouspeakcoffee (reg if in the AM or decaf for your bed time brew) + 1/3 C water
