Legendary Foods Expands Its High-Protein Snack Lineup with Launch of Protein Donuts
SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA (June 5, 2025) — Legendary Foods, a nutrition-forward snack brand transforming traditional indulgent favorites into high-protein, low-carb, and low-sugar alternatives, is expanding its product lineup with the launch of its new Protein Donuts. Each two-pack contains 20 grams of protein, 4-5 grams of net carbs, and zero sugar, for a 160-calorie treat.
The Protein Donuts are launching in four flavors: Vanilla Glazed, Chocolate Dipped, Cinnamon Crumble, and Pink Sprinkle. Starting today, all four flavors are available for purchase as 12-packs for $38.99 on eatlegendary.com, or as 8-packs on Amazon for $29.99. The Protein Donuts will hit specialty retail shelves at GNC and The Vitamin Shoppe in early August, with additional major national retailers to follow shortly after.
Designed to deliver the donut of the future, these Donuts offer an indulgent experience many thought off limits, now reinvented for nutrition-conscious consumers. Unlike other protein options on the market that are made with protein, these donuts are made of protein, allowing for an industry-leading protein-calorie ratio. Crafted with Legendary Foods’ innovative protein dough, they offer the perfect texture and taste—soft, chewy, and satisfying cravings without the sugar crash. Gluten-free, keto-friendly, and GLP-1-friendly, these donuts seamlessly fit into any lifestyle, whether enjoyed on the go or warmed to mimic a bakery-fresh experience.
“At Legendary Foods, we’re breaking down the barriers between indulgence and nutrition,” said Ron Penna, Founder of Legendary Foods. “We’ve reimagined Donuts as a treat for the modern era. It’s more than just an indulgence; it’s a glimpse into the future of high-protein snacks. We’re making it possible for nutrition-conscious consumers to enjoy the donuts they’ve missed while reshaping what’s possible in functional snacking.”
The new Protein Donuts are the first product to emerge from Legendary Foods’ brand-new, cutting-edge manufacturing facility in Los Angeles. This facility was designed to prioritize formulation innovation over traditional machinery constraints, showcasing the company’s commitment to investing heavily in its future. By owning the manufacturing process, Legendary Foods ensures there are no ceilings on innovation, enabling the continuous development of breakthrough products that push the boundaries of high-protein, low-sugar snacking. The Protein Donuts join Legendary’s lineup of Protein Pastries, Sweet Rolls, and Popped Protein Chips, all delivering 20+ grams of protein per serving with minimal sugar and net carbs.
