"Donut Share These" Pumpkin Spice Protein Donuts

Normally, we like to keep things healthy here at Flourish as we take pride in making meals that taste incredible and make you feel incredible too. This time, we decided to switch it up and make something that’s slightly more of a cheat meal. I know, it’s not what we normally do but just like anything in life, you want to have a balance. Sticking to a super healthy diet is great but once in a while you need to give yourself a sugary break so you don’t binge eat that one time you get frustrated from the diet. This is a nice change up and will satisfy your dessert and sugary cravings while still not being that bad for you. Just please don’t blame us once you get addicted and fail your diet completely. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Enjoy!
