Snackers are frustrated with protein products for good reason—they can be chalky, crumbly, and hard to enjoy—driving them to seek alternatives that offer the nutrition they want in a fun format like Legendary Foods' Protein Pastry. Styled like a classic toaster pastry, complete with decadent glaze and texture-packed toppings, these high-protein products are ready to eat straight out of the wrapper, but they can also be warmed in the microwave for a few seconds for a "next-level experience."
The newest flavors to join Legendary Foods' Protein Pastry lineup are S'mores and Cherry Crumble, both of which deliver 20 grams of protein and satisfy a sweet tooth with less than a single gram of sugar.
