If you’re from Louisiana, you know that Mardi Gras season is a pretty big deal. The parades, the parties, the events, the balls, and the food.
THE FOOD.
It’s the best time of the year if you have an affection for cinnamon roll type goods, because everywhere you go, there’s King Cake. At every event/party/business meeting, you’ll find…..King Cake. It’s honestly, one of my biggest food weaknesses every year.
Protein-Packed Mardi Gras: Macro-Friendly King Cake Recipes to Celebrate Healthily
I decided to create some sweet treats that pack that cinnamon-y goodness we love, but that don’t kill your progress in the gym. Now, don’t get it twisted. These are indeed still treats and mindful servings are key. But these do limit the sugar a bit and include some protein to balance out the macros. Hope you’ll give them a try this Mardi Gras season!
