How does this spread compare to traditional chocolate spreads and other spreads?
Our Protein Spread contains 22% protein compared to a traditional chocolate spread. It also contains no added sugar vs. the refined-sugar-heavy formula of a traditional spread.
Our Protein Spread is also a premium spread as it's made with real nuts, and cocoa butter to give a rich mouthfeel and come as close to real chocolate as possible
Why don't we use palm oil?
We’re committed to sustainability and quality. Palm oil is often linked to deforestation and environmental harm, which is why we choose not to use it in our spread. Instead, we use shea and sunflower oil to achieve the same smooth texture—without contributing to deforestation.
Is this a low calories alternative?
Not exactly, but it is a healthier choice compared to traditional chocolate spreads. With 80 calories per tablespoon, and a higher protein content (3g per tablespoon), our spread is similar in calories and macronutrients to peanut butter. With no added sugar, it also makes a better choice compared to traditional brands that are high in sugar, and low in protein. It’s a great way to satisfy your cravings for something sweet and chocolatey while getting extra protein in your diet.
How can I use this spread?
Our protein spread is great for spreading on toast, pancakes, and waffles. You can also drizzle over yogurt, oatmeal, overnight oats, and smoothies, or bake into brownies, muffins, and cookies. The list goes on & on as it’s very versatile, so get creative!
More about our choice of Maltitol as a sweetener?
We chose maltitol as a sweetener in our Protein Spread because it helps us achieve the creamy texture and smooth, balanced flavor that makes our spread taste just as indulgent as traditional chocolate spreads, while keeping it as a no-sugar added option. Unlike regular sugar, maltitol has a lower glycemic index, meaning it won’t spike your blood sugar as much, so maltitol provides the delicious sweetness you expect- without adding sugar. Maltitol also provides a sugar-like sweetness and creamy texture without the cooling effect or slightly bitter aftertaste of some other alternative sweeteners.
More about our choice of Sunflower oil and Shea oil?
We carefully selected sunflower oil and shea oil for the smooth, creamy texture they achieve and nutritional benefits compared to other vegetable oils. While coconut oil is a popular alternative, it’s high in saturated fat, and also tends to harden at cooler temperatures, making the spread grainy and difficult to spread. While some avoid vegetable oils due to concerns about heavy processing, not all vegetable oils are the same. We chose sunflower oil and shea oil for quality and minimal processing unlike other highly refined vegetable oils, while also providing a balance of beneficial and unsaturated fats.
Our blend helps balance the spread’s consistency and creates a delicious, easy-to-spread alternative that’s better for you- free from trans fats and avoiding excessive saturated fat.
Can I eat this on a low carb or keto diet?
Our spread has no added sugar, but it does contain maltitol, which has some impact on blood sugar levels. While it's lower in carbs than traditional chocolate spreads, it may not be fully keto-friendly for strict keto followers. If you follow a low-carb diet however, it can be a great alternative.
Is this supposed to give me all the protein I need in one meal?
Similar to peanut butter, our protein spread is designed to be a delicious, high-protein additive to your snack or meal, not a complete protein source. With 3g of protein per tablespoon, it adds extra protein to your diet in a tasty way, but you should still consume other protein-rich foods throughout the day to meet your daily needs.
