Krispy Kreme protein doughnut macros
Official nutrition panel for one Protein Cookie Crumble Doughnut (serving 100 g average):
| Nutrient | Per doughnut |
|---|---|
| Calories | 393 Cal (1,650 kJ) |
| Protein | 13.0 g |
| Total fat | 19.4 g |
| Saturated fat | 9.4 g |

For comparison, a US Original Glazed doughnut has about 190 calories, so the protein doughnut is a bigger, filled doughnut with roughly double the calories.
What's in it?
A shell doughnut filled with protein cookie creme (made with whey protein isolate), dipped in milk chocolate ganache, coated in cocoa soy crispies and chocolate biscuit crumb, then drizzled with more ganache.
The full Protein Powered lineup

Prices in Australia: a Protein Cookie Crumble Dozen (6 protein doughnuts + 6 Original Glazed) is A$41, and a two-dozen pack was A$56 on sale (from A$69). Online orders close 4:59 PM AEDT, November 22; shops run to November 23 or while stocks last.
Is the Krispy Kreme protein doughnut in the US?
No. It's an Australia-only limited edition, and Krispy Kreme US hasn't announced a protein doughnut as of November 12, 2026. US shops have the Krispy Kreme Holiday Collection instead.
Is it actually healthy?
It's a doughnut with more protein, not a diet food: 393 calories and 19 g of sugar is more than a Glazed doughnut and close to a candy bar's sugar. If protein is the goal, the 43 g combo comes with a large milkshake's calories too.
