Learn about the benefits of low-calorie and high-protein pastries

According to traditional concepts, confectionery is intrinsically linked to calories and practically “divorced” from protein. However, a new concept in food has reversed this situation and today we have protein preparations that allow us to make brownies, cupcakes, rolls, chocolate creams and an endless number of other desserts, which contain a very low contribution of saturated fats and a high protein content.
