SIMPLE GLUTEN-FREE SPIRULINA CAKE DONUTS

It’s safe to say that we are seriously addicted to donuts. If you’re following us on Instagram, then you’ve seen us make donuts a million times. Literally. We’re always trying to come up with ways to switch up the donuts and keep things pretty healthy. In honor of our city’s Super Bowl win (Go Eagles!), we whipped up these festive AND protein-packed gluten-free spirulina cake donuts. Okay, that’s a mouthful lol.

The main ingredient in this simple dessert is spirulina. If you aren’t familiar with this superfood, it’s totally fine because we’re here to drop some knowledge. Spirulina is a type of algae that is super high in protein and antioxidants. It doesn’t have the best taste, which is why we always hide it in some type of food (smoothies, donuts, etc.). The health benefits are so worth it! Seriously, this is something you definitely want to add to your diet.
