Functional Foods Are Continuing to Set the Industry on Fire
As stated in the opening paragraph, some people are dieting, trying to lose weight, attempting to have their abs show up to the party, and improve their overall health. These individuals tend to deprive themselves of all the yummy treats and desserts so many Americans partake in each and every day. Dough Bar is completely changing the way we view “unhealthy” foods.
With the launch of their healthy cream-filled cupcakes, Dough Bar has been able to take those delicious Hostess cupcakes we grew up loving and turned them into a healthy alternative with added protein.
However, there is some bad news. Just like with so many of the Dough Bar products, these dang healthy cream-filled cupcakes can’t stay in stock. In usual Dough Bar fashion, these things sold out FAST. You literally need to be on their email list to get notified the second they drop or save the date and time in your phone as a reminder when they go live for sale on their website.
Dough Bar Healthy Cream-Filled Cupcakes vs Everyone
It’s Dough Bar healthy cream-filled cupcakes versus the world. I have yet to see anything like what Dough Bar has released on the market. The coolest part about this launch if that if you were to take Hostess cupcakes out of the packaging and put it next to the Dough Bar version, they look identical – even down to the little swirl on the top of the cupcakes. Granted, you apply the cream on the top yourself, but their product page photos look just like the Hostess product.
As mentioned, all of these healthy cream-filled cupcakes are sold out at the time of writing this article, but if you go on their website you can find more information regarding this product and their next launch.
You can (when in stock) buy these healthy cream-filled cupcakes in a 5 pack ($18) or 10 pack ($36). I hate to even mention this, but the (unhealthy) Hostess version you can buy for around $2.99 for an 8ct box. But let’s just forget I mentioned that price comparison.
The nutritional on these cupcakes are pretty good. As you’d expect, the calories are a little higher than most would like to see per cupcake, but you also need to consider the alternative version and its breakdown.
Each of these healthy cream-filled cupcakes is 285 calories, 16g of fat, 25g of carbohydrates, 3g of fiber, 15g of sugar, and 12g of protein. Now yes, the sugar is fairly high, but you would probably be eating these as a treat and not as an everyday snack. The cupcakes are said to be moist, soft, and contains an oozing vanilla cream filling.
What’s the real difference between the Dough Bar healthy cream-filled cupcakes and Hostess? The biggest difference is the protein content. The Hostess version only contains 1g of protein. However, some of the nutritional is slightly better. Due to it containing less protein, the overall calories per cupcake with the Hostess version is only 160 calories. But when you factor in Dough Bar has 11g more protein, that’s 44 calories right there. Hostess also has 6g of fat, 26g of carbohydrates (more than Dough Bar), 1g of fiber, and 18g of sugar (more than Dough Bar).
Another area where there is a noticeable difference is in the ingredient list. Hostess has a novel of a list while Dough Bar has a much more condensed list of ingredients with their healthy cream-filled cupcakes.
