At a time when protein-packed desserts are seemingly everywhere and creatine is beginning to get the same treatment, Singapore-based performance supplement brand Foulplay and sandwich shop Korio teamed up to create a nutritious creatine-infused donut concept. Rather than being a full-blown launch, "what is probably the world’s first creatine-infused donuts" was developed under CAFE FOULPLAY, a platform for finding novel ways to present functional nutrition, and fans based in Singapore can enter for the chance to win and experience them via a social media giveaway.
The soft treat is made with pure, potent classic creatine and folded into Korio’s signature sea salt glaze to support power and performance. With a single donut containing 2.5 grams of creatine, eating two of these limited concept donuts provides the daily gold standard.
