Review: @LegendaryFoods Donuts
Everyone knows how much I rave about Legendary Tasty Pastries, so when I spotted these donuts, I was genuinely excited to give them a try.
Unfortunately… they were a major letdown.
On paper, the macros look insane: 160 calories, 20g of protein, and 8g of fiber. For two “donuts,” that’s wild. But the flavor? Straight-up 💩.
The only way I find pleasure from eating them is by microwaving them for 10 seconds just to soften the stiff, cardboard-like texture.
That being said, I somehow ended up with four boxes. And yes, I’ll still be eating them because I don’t like wasting money.
Having said that, again, the macros are bonkers.
*The reason that the erythritol study is bunk, is because it was a correlation study done with people who were already had or were at risk of cardiovascular disease. They tracked future outcomes of these individuals and found a correlation with erythritol; however, all of these patients were already at greater risk of heart disease than general population. Many of the patients in this study in fact already had diabetes. That would be like me asking people walking out of Comic Con if they like comic books – it’s clearly not reflective of general population.
