The texture is off putting. I could only eat one. 

Delicious treats, very dense and rich. Would not eat them all in one sitting. They taste like cakes not so light and fluffy like a donut. Powder sugar and snicker doodle are delicious. It is a bit pricey for a pack.

If there's a way to make the donut fluffier and perhaps package more of them in a row that would be super exciting. 

I was super excited to try Glonuts because it's just fun brand and I liked the packaging. I give point for that and the brand vibe which seems really fun. I liked the flavor of the two types I had (Matcha and Powder) but it didn't have the texture I expected. It's super dense and you can really taste the almond flour and coconut. This brand falls in the bucket of healthier options that have to make ingredient changes/sacrifices to cut down on the bad stuff. I love that this brand is innovating in this category but I don't think personally I would buy it again. 

Texture could be more like the real thing. 

glonuts feel like one of those products that do their job well, but you might have unrealistic expectations. Things that seem too good to be true usually are! And these are fine. The flavor is pretty good, the branding is fun and they crush it on the health factor. But the texture is a bit weird, and eating it, I was always conscious that I was eating a donut replacement, not an actual donut. Does it answer my craving for something sweet? Probably. But for a donut itself? Not so much.

The naming of these sweet cookies caused a lot of confusion for me. I don't think they have anything to do with donuts, they remind me much more of cookies (especially those traditional German Christmas cookies with a bunch of nuts). 

I enjoyed them, but the fact that they need to be kept and eaten cold makes it hard to have these as on-the-go snacks.

A 3 pack was $8 at Popup Grocer, which I thought was quite expensive.

I'm not sure a donut is the right frame of reference. Why not just healthy cookies? Honestly the product tastes really good but I was expecting something softer and fluffier based on the images on the package. 

Interesting concept. Pretty good execution. Really like that it is a healthy take on a childhood favorite. 

I tried the powdered flavor and liked it for the most part. But I'm not sure that a donut is the right frame of reference here. It reminded me more of ricciarellis that my Nonna used to make. For all you mangias out there it's basically a dense, soft cookie made with almond flower. 

Did I spend $8 on a pack of three powdered donuts on a whim at Erewhon? Yep. Would I do it again? Ehh. 

They were so tasty but I'm not sure I could really consider spending such a great amount on donuts. They're good for you, yes, but I find that I'd buy them much more frequently if the cost was cut and the amount was doubled. 

These are fine, but donut seems like a stretch! They're incredibly dense and the almond flour flavoring overpowers even the matcha and chocolate flavors. The flavor is also only based on the powdered exterior, the inside is the same for all the flavors. The branding is really fun though!

 I really, really, REALLY wanted to love Glonuts. I mean, look at their packaging and branding. The founders also document their journey on social media, which is super fun to watch.

However, as for the Glonuts themselves? I was simply.... whelmed. Neither over or under. It doesn't resemble your average donut, as it has more of a dense, cookie dough consistency in a donut shape. It has that artificial sweetener aftertaste and is a pure fat bomb--12g in each tiny Glonut.

I would recommend this to my keto-ers. However, if you're a carb fiend like me, do yourself and your wallet a favor. Get those Hostess donuts.



I've been putting off writing this review because I've been struggling to put in to words quite how terrible these were. They're dry, powdery, and tasted awful.
