📜 A Little History of Donuts
Donuts are believed to have originated from Dutch settlers who made “olykoeks” (oil cakes) in the 19th century. These early fried pastries eventually evolved into the classic ring-shaped donut we know today.
The modern protein donut is a healthier twist inspired by fitness and wellness trends, combining traditional comfort food with balanced nutrition.
