I liked these a lot. I don't think i would buy them again, however, I would recommend giving them a try. I love the high-quality ingredients!

I am on a low carb and low sugar diet. I like it. It is very dense and it satisfies me. It also doesn't have a super strong artificial taste. However, if you don't like coconut flavored things, you will not like this.
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.

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

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.
I've tried the powdered ones, I must say they are quite good for guilt-free sweets. However, it's hard to overlook the fact that they come with a slightly higher price tag, and, in my personal view, they may not fully justify the cost.
I tried the powdered donut SKU, and overall, I thought they were super mediocre. The ingredient label is clean and a great option for gluten-free consumers, but each MINI donut had 130 calories, meaning the whole box was nearly 400 calories. The taste was also overpowered by erythritol and left my tastebuds stinging! I wanted them to be less sweet, and that's something I rarely say about my desserts.

Branding and packaging, absolutely fantastic. The taste? Nothing like a donut. Even though I followed directions and waited for it to come to room temp—it still tasted like straight up coconut oil. And considering it’s $8 for 3 mini donuts, feels like an extra rip-off.

It’s just…not a donut at all. I’m all for healthier versions of things, and totally understand they’re going to be different, but the glonut is super dense. It’s 100% a keto “fat bomb” dressed up as a donut.

Great-tasting and healthy alternative to regular donuts. They are just as good as regular donuts, have healthy stuff in them like coconut oil and almond flour, and don’t fuck with your blood sugar like sugary baked goods. Eat them with coffee!

More flavors!

I hated these. The taste was bad. The texture was bad. The price was stupid. Overall never buying or trying again.

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.

Glonuts have been my go-to snack for years! Clean, thoughtful ingredients - I always feel good after eating. They are unique and taste unlike anything I've had before. The fact that they are less than a gram in sugar is incredible
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!

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.
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 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.

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.

Texture could be more like the real thing.
These are great! Surprised how much the texture resembles real cake donuts. Very filling, I had one to hold me over until dinnertime and I wasn't hungry for a full hour. Because this is a healthy donut, it tastes heavily of nuts and coconut oil -- if that's not your thing, you're better off skipping this.
