Saudi’s TRIESTE Just Gave the Cinnamon Bun a Protein Upgrade

For the adults who now think about their protein intake more than they think about anything else, TRIESTE has something for you. The Saudi café has just launched a cinnamon bun packing 20g of protein, because apparently even our sweet treats have to pull their weight these days.

The new bun is available at TRIESTE’s locations in Riyadh and Jeddah’s Al-Shati district, making it a particularly tempting option for anyone whose sweet tooth and protein goals don’t always see eye to eye.

The bun itself is soft and cinnamon-filled, topped with cream cheese icing and still very much giving you the sweet treat you came for. At 236 calories, it comes with 37g of carbs, 7.8g of fat and 24g of sugar. So no, it’s not exactly pretending to be a salad – it’s still a cinnamon bun. It just happens to be one that can help you hit your protein target, too.
