Fall always inspires us to bake up some healthy sweet treats! The other day, Brian's mom called me and mentioned that she missed the apple cider donut holes she used to get at an apple farm in New Hampshire. I promised her we would whip up some healthy versions for her at the HQ! We used Tone It Up Protein as the base and it makes these treats naturally sweet AND high in the protein your bod needs to form beautiful, lean muscles.

Karena and I went live on Instagram to tell you girls about the recipe, but we each had a few donut holes before we even started 🙈 We couldn't help ourselves!! They're SO good!

Make sure to check in with us when you bake up your Apple Cider Donut Holes! Can't wait to see 'em!!
