Mocha Energy Protein Donuts

GRAIN FREE MOCHA ENERGY PROTEIN DONUTS
What better way to wake up in the morning than with a mocha donut?
The combination of coffee and chocolate is hard to beat. The sweetness from the chocolate balances out the bitterness from the coffee making them one of the most perfect pairs to ever exist 😉
Honestly, I don’t do sweets much but I am a lover of pretty much mocha flavored anything. I’ve created Super Easy Mini Mocha Recovery Muffins, Naturally Sweetened Mocha Granola and now these Grain Free Mocha Energy Protein Donuts.
These mocha flavored donuts aren’t just any ordinary donuts though, they’re made with Healthy Skoop’s Mocha Energy Protein Powder – a blend that uses coffee fruit….yes, a delicious and mostly unknown treat that is packed with super powers 😉
I was first introduced to Healthy Skoop many moons ago when I first started blogging. Back then they only had a handful of products, one of which I used to make some Skoop Chocofresh Energy Bites.
Over the last four years the company has evolved and expanded their product line to include Protein Cookies, Breakfast Protein, Boosted Protein, Daily Protein, Sleep Protein, Daily Greens, Daily Detox, Endurance Beets and of course, this super yummy and power packed Energy Protein.
Basically, they took their already delicious protein powder formula and added in coffee fruit which grows around the coffee bean and contains a ton of awesome antioxidants – HELLO naturally yummy energy boost!
The organic brown rice and pea protein blend has about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee with a mocha yummy goodness that tastes DE-LICIOUS in everything from a shake to these Grain Free Mocha Energy Protein Donuts 😛
