We get it, pre-workouts can leave you with rashes, feeling anxious, and if timed poorly can even kick in on the way to the gym. So when we come across a pre workout recipe that is not only good for us, but in the form of a donut… how can we not share the goodness!
The caffeine from the coffee coconut infused protein powder is what gives these donuts their pre-workout kick, but you can easily substitute another flavour for a post workout snack or midday protein hit (maybe don’t include the espresso shot either!). To keep the treat as clean as possible, we recommend using a pea protein such as NuZest Clean Lean Protein, making sure you’re getting no added chemicals or sugars.
Give this easy man-proof recipe a try, and thank us later!
