Well, bless your heart, ya heard (or rather, read) it right! We’re talkin’ ’bout cake for breakfast. Not just any old cake either.
It’s a Vegan Granola Berry Breakfast Cheesecake. Welcome y’all to breakfast bliss.
Think of it like your beloved berry granola bowl, but fancied up into a cheesecake bar. These are perfect for those of you always on the move, just snatch ’em and savor them on the run.
Sweet and crunchy granola pairs perfectly with smooth vanilla cheesecake and a heap of fresh berries.
Since it’s packed with protein, it makes for an ideal snack post workout as well. You can even toss in a scoop of plant-based protein powder if you’re so inclined.
Y’all really oughta give these ones a whirl. Trust me on this one.
