VANILLA CHAI PROTEIN DONUTS
(Low-Carb / Keto-Friendly / Gluten-Free)
Donuts are always a fun and tasty breakfast choice, but we all know that donuts are packed with sugar and don’t exactly give us the nutrients we need to start our day.
That’s where these Vanilla Chai Protein Donuts come in! Adding chai tea to your donuts not only adds a fun flavor and incredible aroma but is an excellent source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory health benefits.
These donuts also contain our MariGold Vanilla Collagen Latte High Protein Coffee for a flavonoid-rich energy boost and healthy hair, skin, and nails. Collagen peptides also have bone-strengthening benefits and can help to improve your gut and joint health.
The crumble on top is made with our Chocolate Pecan Crisp Fat Bombs, adding healthy fats and incredible flavor.
These aren’t your average donuts! They’re also keto-friendly, low-carb, and gluten-free!
