CAKE ENERGY BITES
(Protein-Rich / Gluten Free / No Bake)
These easy Cake Energy Bites are the perfect no-bake, gluten-free, protein-packed snack for any time of the day. In fact, you can put these in the freezer to keep them fresh and just pull one out when you’re in the mood for a sweet, energy boosting treat.
They are made with simple ingredients and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. You can add sprinkles for pretty decoration, but they’re also incredibly tasty all on their own.
These delicious little bites are even great for pre- or post-workout fuel! They are made with our MariGold Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides that provide protein energy for an active lifestyle and also have bone-strengthening and skin-rejuvenating benefits.
