Powerlifters and everyone rejoice; for today marks “National Doughnut Day,” i.e. get a free doughnut along with the dozen you’ve already just purchased.
National chains like Krispy Kreme are offering a free doughnut today – I like to call it winning the poor-man’s lottery – while others like Dunkin Donuts are making you buy a drink – Can you blend a doughnut into a smoothie? – before giving you the free sweetened goodness.
Yes, that’s enough to constitute a good day, but it’s pretty much scientifically proven you can’t just eat one doughnut and then be content.
Knowing that, forget about being happy with just eating one because you know you’ll want more.
So, what’s the solution? Well, at EFS we always have an answer and it’s almost always the right one.
In this case, we’re about to give you several options when that one doughnut won’t do. Some of the suggestions will simply be eating more doughnuts – though we help you out and recommend the ones with the most calories – while the gold mine suggestions will be our supplement choices that most resemble doughnuts.
That way, you’re still getting doughnut taste at a protein-packed satisfaction.
Now, if you’re dieting and reading this, well, stop torturing yourself. You shouldn’t be eating doughnuts anyway, so there’s no healthy options listed here.
Move along and keep munching on your spinach greens.
The rest of us, meanwhile, will happily ingest a free doughnut – along with plenty of other goodies, of course.
EFS Selections:
To be honest, I would be more excited about a “National Muscle Sandwich Day” that’s how good these things are.
It’s better than most candy bars and it will fill you up better than a doughnut. With 290 calories, 13 grams of protein and 25 grams of carbohydrates, it’s the perfect compliment to a doughnut. Actually, it’s the perfect compliment to anything and it’s more affordable than most protein bars. So, eat one – or three.
Hey, it’s on sale, too! This is a strong compliment to a doughnut or could replace it totally. It comes in chocolate or vanilla and turns out like pudding after mixing; only it’s packed with 25 grams of protein.
It also has just four grams of carbs, which means you can buy three more doughnuts along with the free one you got. That’s called a win-win.
3. Labrada Cookie Roll Chocolate Chip
When served hot, this can make you drool. Pair this with a warm doughnut and you may just have to sit down to get your bearings.
Labrada’s protein bars are always top-notch and this might be the best one yet, mostly because it tells you to warm it up.
Combining this with doughnut goodness will give you the sugar buzz you need to break that squat personal-best.
This is new and I’m suddenly wondering if my life had meaning before tasting these. Protein power packed into a cookie sounds pretty ingenious to me.
This would be a perfect replacement for someone that can’t make it to a Krispy Kreme or they find out there’s a 2-hour wait for one stinking doughnut.
Don’t be the guy that waits in line for that long. Be the guy that eats 5-6 of these while waiting in line.
Like you can talk about eating something like a doughnut and not talk about Muscle Milk.
Pick a flavor, throw some ice cream and/or milk into the blender and have a shake with your doughnut.
A better suggestion: Pick a good flavor – Cake Batter –throw your doughnut in the blender and see what happens. The result has to be good.
Doughnut suggestions:
1. Old reliable
The original glazed doughnut is always a solid choice. The only problem is that it lacks calories (220) and carbs (22) for those searching for a mega-bloat.
Time to take it up a notch.
2. Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled
Now, we’re getting down to business. This sucker has 350 calories and 39 grams of sugar-filled carbs.
3. Caramel Kreme Crunch
This is the big hitter, along with the Apple Fritter. It has a Krispy Kreme-high 380 calories, none of which are good for you. But there are four grams of protein, so there’s that.
4. Glazed Kreme Filled
Reliable with a little extra crème-filled goodness on the inside. This bad boy will give you a solid 340 calories and 10 grams of saturated fat.
All in all, it’s hard to go wrong on a day like this.

If someones going to cheat let them cheat, fuck counting calories, it’s a bloody cheat meal not a diet.
Yikes…sounds like someone’s deep into diet phase!
^You missed the point of the article.
Tom Horton’s Honey Crowley > All other donuts. They are enhanced by the Power of Grayskull.
I agree w/ one of the comments above….except its fucking TIM Hortons not Tom. Krispy Kreme has had to leave our area just because of the pure awesomeness of Horts. And listen, don’t be a damn vag either, grab two Vanilla Creme donuts from Tim Hortons and a Muscle Milk RTD of ur choice and have a nice damn day. Also…some sort of frozen fat ass coffee can’t hurt either.
