Ranking and reviewing all of Legendary Foods’ Protein Donuts, including flavors Cinnamon Crumble, Vanilla Glazed, Pink Sprinkle, and Chocolate Dipped.
Review & Verdict
How similar are these to their other pastry-based products (which I have reviewed here)? Do all of these donuts taste the same and have the same mouthfeel? Are they all sweet? Let’s answer these questions and find out the best flavors!
Long story short: Run away.
These are nothing like their other products. In fact, this review might be my shortest I’ve done. Why? Because they all taste more or less the same and have identical compositions.
Imagine combining one of those cheap bagged donuts with a regular, old-fashioned one at a fast-food bakery. You’d likely get something that’s reasonably thick, though pretty plain. This is what that exactly is. The only contributing flavors are their frostings, which are the thinnest, most unflavorful attempts I’ve seen in any protein bar or donut. It’s incredibly thin, and even after scooping it off, you still barely taste anything at all!
That’s the review.
They’re so disappointing, especially considering how nice some of the flavors, like Pink Sprinkle and Cinnamon Crumble, appear visually. Cute sprinkles layer on top of a bright pink frosting, and for the other, generous amounts of cookie dusting are used, yet… no flavor. I think the most “flavorful” one was the vanilla, and that came across as the most artificial–assuming you could grab any part of the flavor!
When I tried superhard and concentrated, here is what I more or less found from their frostings–because after all, the donut parts themselves all taste identical:
The Pink Sprinkle has a generic vanilla taste, similar to its Vanilla counterpart, but with a less sweet and less artificial vanilla flavor. Chocolate is an artificial, plain milk chocolate. Vanilla has the strongest flavor, but it has a noticeable, artificial, vanilla-like flavor. Lastly, Cinnamon Crumble has an equal essence of cinnamon and sugar.
Again, this is me really, really trying to make out what the flavors are.
Avoid these. Go for their other protein-based products.
