Guilt-Free Protein Donuts

Donuts that pull their weight.

Yes, donuts — and no, not a trick. An order of Fuel Up protein donuts is seven soft mini donuts dusted with cinnamon and vanilla protein 'powdered sugar,' finished with sugar-free caramel: 36g of protein, 300 calories, gluten-free.

Made fresh in Bolingbrook.

Good questions

How much protein is in an order?

36g across seven mini donuts — or 37g in the fruit-loaded Deluxe order.

Are protein donuts actually low-calorie?

Yes, by the numbers: 300 calories for the whole seven-mini order, with 36g of protein, no added sugar, gluten-free, baked to order. The catch with any low-calorie donut is reading calories and protein for the same serving. Here's how to read a donut's numbers before you buy, ours included.

Are the protein donuts gluten-free?

Yes, both versions are listed gluten-free on Fuel Up's menu. Ask our team about ingredients if you have celiac-level sensitivity.

What's on the Deluxe version?

Strawberries, bananas, blueberries, whipped cream, sugar-free caramel, and sugar-free chocolate drizzle over the mini donuts.

What should I drink with them?

A Protein Coffee or a LIT TEA. Donuts-and-a-tea is the Fuel Up afternoon classic. Here's what makes a donut shop worth the stop, coffee pairing included.

Are the protein donuts baked or fried?

Baked, never fried. Every order of seven minis is made here when you order it, with no fryer oil involved. Here's how baked and fried donuts really compare, from the oil to the numbers.
