FESTIVE RAINBOW CAKE BATTER PROTEIN BALLS!

The best part of any birthday party? The CAKE of course!

My absolute favorite birthday cake from the time I was little was vanilla cake, vanilla icing and tons of rainbow sprinkles throughout! So, with my birthday coming up this week, I had to try and turn my favorite cake flavor into a healthy, protein filled snack that can be enjoyed whether it’s your birthday or not!

These cake batter protein balls are vegan, dairy free, gluten free, cane sugar free and are the perfect, fluffy texture with a little satisfying crunch on the outside from the sprinkles! If you’re looking for all natural, vegan sprinkles, check out some of these options: Good Dee’s Rainbow Sprinkles or A Great Surprise Natural Rainbow Sprinkles.

These small, pop-able treats are great for snacking or as a sweet mini dessert!
