Cinnamon & Pumpkin Seed Protein Bites

Cinnamon Spice Protein Bites by Lindsay Cotter are made with warm spices like cinnamon, aniseed and cloves, to perfectly pair with the cooler days as we transition into Autumn. These grain free no bake protein balls are paleo and vegan friendly, and high in magnesium with Pumpkin Seeds - Just 2 tablespoons of dried pumpkin seeds contain 96 mg of magnesium or about 25 percent of the daily recommended dietary intake, which can help regulate blood sugar levels. The bites are great for snacks on the go, pre or post workout, and for kids!
