Nutrisystem Donut Holes

Donut holes are typically calorie-bombs filled with simple carbohydrates, sugar and unhealthy fats. With a little help from the air fryer, we gave them a diet-friendly twist that you can enjoy on your weight loss program.

You don’t need oil to make these little “fried” dough balls. Whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt combine to make a high fiber, protein-packed batter that crisps to perfection in your air fryer. But the goodness doesn’t stop there! Take one bite and you’ll soon discover a gooey, chocolaty center. Serve up these mini donut balls at your next get-together for a poppable party treat that your guests will thank you for.

One serving of these Air Fryer Chocolate Donut Holes contains 142 calories and counts as one SmartCarb and one Extra on the Nutrisystem program. Before you reach for a second serving of these moist, chocolaty donuts, make sure to log your first one in the NuMi app to ensure you’re staying within your meal plan guidelines! Keeping track of your meals, snacks and water each day can help you reach your goals.
