Happy Monday everyone! I had all intentions of posting a vegan “meatball” recipe for you guys but, this is what happened to those…
Well they can’t all be perfect can they!? So, onto another recipe I was planning to post later in the week. I actually had to recreate these protein bars a few times too before I got it down. It was not a good weekend for me for cooking!
I think you’ll really like the fun twist on these protein bars. Sprinkles just make everything better 🙂
