Birthday Cake Protein Bars are chewy, flavorful and make the best high-protein snack that tastes like cake but is much healthier! No baking required and only 6-ingredients.

Birthday Cake Protein Bars

When it's your birthday, why wouldn't you want to celebrate all month long? My son Oliver is turning 6 and I thought it would be fun to make him a birthday cake flavored treat that is actually nutritious (with some real sprinkles thrown in there of course!). I went with a bar that I knew that I would love as well. These Birthday Cake Protein Bars are easy to make, packed with protein and low in sugar. Try them!


Birthday Cake Bars

These Birthday Cake Protein Bars are soft and chewy with a delicious birthday cake flavor. The vanilla, cashew butter and salt help give that flavor and the sprinkles of course make them super festive. Wouldn't these make a fun homemade birthday gift?

How to Make Birthday Cake Protein Bars

These birthday cake protein bars seriously take 5 minutes to make. Just mix together cashew butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until a dough forms. Press down onto a piece of parchment paper lined 8 x 8 dish. Sprinkle with sprinkles and lightly press the sprinkles into the dough so they don't fall out. Let chill in the fridge until firm and then cut into bars.

Ella Protein Powder

I love the new Ella Daily Beauty Protein Powder which is made by Naked Nutrition. I love their Naked powdered peanut butter and peanut butter blueberry protein powder (try my Peanut Butter and Jelly Protein Bars). Ella is made with collagen, organic seed protein (pumpkin seed and chia seed) and vitamins like vitamin C, zinc, biotin and more. It aims to help improve skin elasticity, smoothness and can help give your skin a natural glow.

This protein powder has collagen peptides which I love using because it blends easier into recipes than other protein powders typically. It helps support skin, hair and nails. If you're looking for just collagen, try Naked Collagen. Ella Protein Powder easily mixed into these bars and tasted delicious.
