New formula: the cocoa and hazelnut cream we wanted to offer you
Protein cocoa and hazelnut cream from FoodSeries is a protein cream with hazelnut and cocoa, sweetened, made with a renewed recipe and 22% protein content.
Known forever as Nut Choco, it’s back with a reformulated formula to improve what matters most in a spreadable cream: flavor, texture, creaminess, and the experience when opening the jar. We worked on the recipe to make it smoother, more uniform, and more pleasant to spread, keeping that cocoa and hazelnut profile that connects with classic creams, but with a more interesting composition for your daily life.
If you tried it before, get ready to rediscover it: this new formula was born to offer a cream that’s creamier, more stable, and much more rounded in flavor and texture.
What makes this new recipe special
This new version of Nut Choco was developed to combine 22 g of protein per 100 g, a reduced sugar content compared to conventional commercial spreads, and a much more pleasant mouthfeel. We didn’t want a protein cream that just “checked the boxes” nutritionally; we wanted a cream you’d want to have again, that spreads well, feels creamy, and keeps the familiar cocoa and hazelnut taste.
Plus, it’s made without palm oil and is vegetarian-friendly, so it fits easily into a modern pantry, practical and designed to enjoy while taking better care of what you choose.
Why we reformulated Nut Choco
Because we wanted a better cream in every way. The previous version helped us learn what our customers look for in a protein cocoa and hazelnut cream: more flavor, more creaminess, a less dense texture, and an experience closer to classic spreads but with a more interesting nutritional profile.
That’s why we decided to reformulate the recipe and work on it again with a clear goal: to create a cream that not only stands out for its 22% protein but is also smoother, creamier, and easier to enjoy. The result is this renewed formula, designed for those who want to take care of themselves without feeling like they’re giving up something tasty.
It’s not just about better numbers. It’s about a real upgrade in experience: better texture, better spreadability, and a much creamier feel from the very first spoonful.
Extra creamy, more uniform and stable texture
In a cocoa and hazelnut cream, texture changes everything. That’s why one of the key points of this reformulation was to achieve a finer, more uniform, and more pleasant texture on the palate, avoiding that dry or heavy feeling that sometimes appears in high-protein products.
We worked on the recipe to get an extra creamy texture, easy to spread and stable in the jar. The goal was clear: so you can use it on toast, pancakes, crêpes, waffles, or bowls without struggling with the spoon and without losing that melting sensation you look for in a good spread.
More stability even when temperatures rise: Another important improvement was the cream’s stability. Products like this can naturally separate oil, especially at higher temperatures. To improve this, the new recipe includes shea butter as a natural emulsifier, helping maintain a more uniform, smooth, and homogeneous texture.
The result is a cream that’s easier to use, more stable in the jar, and with a much rounder texture for daily enjoyment.
New formula, same goal: to offer you a cocoa and hazelnut cream with 22% protein, less sugar than conventional spreads, no palm oil, and a much creamier texture.
The classic flavor, now with a renewed recipe
Some flavors are part of many breakfasts and snacks. Cocoa with hazelnuts is one of them. That’s why in this new Nut Choco we kept that classic inspiration but worked the formula so the result is more up-to-date: more protein, less sugar than conventional spreads, and an extra creamy texture.
We didn’t want a cream that tasted like an “alternative.” We wanted a real cocoa and hazelnut cream, with a well-achieved flavor, a pleasant texture, and a recipe that fits better with those who train, watch their diet, or just want a more balanced option at home for their sweet moments.
A cream to rediscover: If you already knew Nut Choco, this new formula is designed so you notice the difference from the first use. Smoother, easier to spread, and with a creamier mouthfeel. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s a delicious way to discover a cocoa and hazelnut cream with a more interesting nutritional profile.
22% protein, extra creamy texture, and all the flavor of cocoa and hazelnuts in a renewed recipe to enjoy more and better.
How to enjoy it: easy ideas for everyday
