Naturally, I've dusted off my blender and started playing around with different ingredients—because unlike normal people, I want everything I consume to be a treat. And just in time for National Donut Day—Friday, June 5—I've found a way to celebrate that won't derail my diet. The move is simple: I add one of 5-hour ENERGY's new donut-inspired flavors—Jelly Donut or Boston Cream—to my morning protein shake and it transforms into a frosty, donuty, sugar-free treat.
Coffee and a Smoothie
Have you ever tried to drink a coffee and a smoothie or protein shake during your morning rush? Not the best combo—you're either wasting the coffee or the blended beverage. And if you actually do manage to finish both cups, your stomach is not a happy camper. (I'll spare you the details from when I retched over a toilet as fellow gym-goers asked if I was okay.) Combining them into one concoction means not only less liquid for your body to process, but also way less for you to drink.
My 4 Donut-Inspired Protein Shakes
I'm always a little skeptical of anything that promises dessert flavor with no sugar, but these new flavor shots are the real deal. Instead of being just a novelty, they've earned a spot in my morning routine. I get my protein, caffeine and energy, all in one frosty treat that helps me stick to my goals and beat the summer heat.
A quick note before you blend: Each shake will contain one bottle of 5-hour ENERGY, so you're essentially getting the same amount of caffeine as a 12-ounce cup of coffee. You can also use half and save the rest for the next time you need a boost. For the protein powder, my go-to is neutral vanilla protein to let the donut flavor shine, but feel free to sub it with any flavor you think might work best.

This protein shake is both natural and nostalgic. The peanut butter turns the jelly flavor into a full-on PB&J moment—childhood vibes, a nice salty-sweet combo and it's genuinely filling. The peanut butter adds more protein and nutrients, too.
