This Company is Determined to Make Dessert Healthy

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at NCSU chapter.

Cookies, donuts, muffins and pancakes are all glorious foods that are unfortunately not very good for our bodies. It’s hard to resist these high-fat dessert foods when you get a sugar craving or need some stress relief after a long day, no matter how hard you may try to eat consistently healthy. Well, today you’re in luck. You can have your desserts and eat them too—without feeling like you just blew a day’s worth of calories—thanks to one company that’s changing the game: Smart Choice Protein.

Smart Choice Protein has revolutionized sweets like cookies, donuts, muffins, peanut butter and pancakes so that they’re much healthier than a pack of Oreo’s or a box of fresh Krispy Kreme donuts. They’ve reduced the amount of calories, carbs and sugar in their products while still keeping the flavors you know and love. They’ve also added protein to their sweets, which make their products great to eat before you hit the gym. Additionally, most of their goodies are gluten-free, all natural and contain no preservatives.

The company delivers a range of treats, including peanut butter cookies, birthday cake donuts, breakfast maple muffins and cinnamon cereal powdered peanut butter. They also sell donut, muffin and pancake mixes, infused with a variety of delicious flavors that are super easy to make. Their irresistible pancake flavors include cookie dough chip, cinnamon french toast, and double peanut butter chip. They all contain over 20g of protein and are high in fiber, providing a filling, high-energy breakfast to fuel you throughout the day.

If you’re looking for a satisfying but not-terrible-for-you breakfast or snack, Smart Choice Protein is the way to go. All of the products I’ve tried taste exactly like their not-so-nutritious counterparts, but left me feeling way better about what I was putting into my body. If there’s no way you’ll ever be able to give up donuts, cookies or other sweets (same), I suggest you turn to Smart Choice Protein, where your dreams of eating desserts while still being healthy can come true.
