Can a Crispycake Be a Pre-Workout Snack? Here's What We Learned.

Disclaimer: We are not doctors, nutritionists, or health experts. We're just dessert people reporting something interesting/weird we heard and looked into!

While attending the 2025 Sweets & Snacks Expo in Indianapolis, someone approached our booth, pointed to our display of Crispycakes, and said:

“These are perfect pre-workout snacks — I eat one before the gym every time.”

We blinked.
We laughed.
Then we started Googling.

Turns out… this is a real trend.

The “Rice Crispy Treat Pre-Workout” Trend

Across TikTok, fitness forums, and even Reddit threads, people are turning to rice crispy treats for a quick, high-glycemic boost of carbs before hitting the gym.

Why?

Because they’re:

• Fast-digesting
• Low in fat and fiber
• Packed with simple carbs
• Easy to grab and go

In other words: they’re designed to give your body a fast energy spike — which is exactly what some people want before a workout.

Are Crispycakes Part of the Trend?

We’re not saying they should be, we’re just saying… we’ve been told they already are!

Our Plain & Sweet Crispycake? Pure marshmallow magic.
Fruity Ringlets or Fruity Crispies? Colorful, carb-filled nostalgia bombs.
Cookies & Cream or Cocoa Crispy? They feel more like dessert — but we’re not here to judge!

We've even heard that a few fitness fans are bringing our Freeze Dried Crispycakes to the gym for a crunchy, lightweight option that holds up in their gym bag. (Yes, really!!)

The Bottom Line

This is a snack trend, not a diet plan.
Crispycakes are treats — handmade, gooey, sweet treats — not a substitute for balanced nutrition.

So please talk to your doctor, trainer, or nutritionist before changing your pre-workout habits.

We’re just thrilled people are finding new ways to love what we make. We came for the sweets. We stayed for the science.  And if Crispycakes are helping people hit new PRs at the gym? Well… that’s the sweetest pump we’ve ever heard of.
