Spreads are a timeless classic, loved by everyone for their delicious taste and creaminess. But recently, protein spreads have emerged alongside these traditional delights . If you're wondering what the difference is and which one to choose, here's a quick guide to help you out!

Ingredients and taste

Classic creams, like our Hazelnut Cream , have a higher percentage of sugars than protein ones, which however translates into a lot of sweetness. Perfect for pampering yourself in the cold winters, and not only!

On the contrary, protein ones like ours with Dark Chocolate flavor, contain less sugar and more protein (up to 20-25%), they are excellent if you are looking for a post-workout snack or a dessert with a more balanced flavor. Less guilt and an eye on your shape!

When to prefer one or the other?

It all depends on your needs:

• Traditional Creams : Ideal for a sweet pleasure without too many thoughts, perhaps for breakfast or for a snack after a stressful day. If you do not have particular dietary restrictions and just want to indulge in a delicious moment, they are perfect.
• Protein Creams : If you are watching your weight or are trying to increase your protein intake, protein cream is the best choice. It is ideal after a workout, as a protein snack, or for when you want something tasty without feeling too guilty.

Pay Attention to the Ingredients

Just because a spread is labeled “protein,” it doesn’t automatically mean it’s healthy! Some protein spreads may contain additives, preservatives, or unhealthy oils to make them taste more like traditional versions.

Conclusion

Ultimately, choosing between a traditional spread and a protein spread depends on your needs and nutritional goals. Traditional spreads offer a rich and satisfying taste, but are high in sugar and fat. Protein spreads, on the other hand, provide a higher protein intake and are more suitable for those who follow a healthy and active lifestyle. Reading labels and paying attention to ingredients is essential to making an informed choice.
