Watching the Olympics this week?

Yes, we definitely need cupcakes for that.

And, just in case you feel bad about eating cupcakes while watching top athletes push themselves to their limits, I’m happy to inform you that these cupcakes are grain-free, naturally sweetened, and bursting with antioxidant-rich strawberries!

Now, that’s something even an athlete can feel good about eating.
