Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, sift together the whey protein isolate, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened apple sauce, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently just until combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Gently fold in half of the Fruity Pebbles cereal, reserving the other half for topping.
Spoon the batter into a zipped plastic bag or a piping bag. Snip off the corner and fill the donut cavities about three-quarters full.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
While the donuts are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the milk and powdered sugar until smooth and slightly thickened. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
Once the donuts have finished baking, allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
Dip the top of each donut into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off, then immediately sprinkle with the remaining Fruity Pebbles cereal.
Allow the glaze to set before serving, about 10 more minutes. Enjoy your high protein Fruity Pebbles donuts!
