The cocoa and hazelnut cream to enjoy while taking care of yourself
Hyperprotein cocoa and hazelnut cream from FoodSeries is a protein cream with hazelnut and cocoa, sweetened with a sweetener.
Known forever as Nut Choco, it was born with a very clear idea: to offer you everything you love about a cocoa and hazelnut spread, but with a nutritional approach more in line with a healthy lifestyle. Because yes, it’s still a cream to enjoy. It’s still creamy, delicious, and easy to pair. But at the same time, it offers a more interesting profile for those who want to cut down on sugars, better control their diet, or simply choose a different option from the usual commercial spreads.
It’s not a cream just for those on a strict diet. It’s a more flexible, practical, and tasty way to keep taking care of yourself without feeling like you have to give up that little moment of enjoyment.
What makes it special?
This is a cocoa and hazelnut cream with a specially crafted recipe to maintain nutritional quality, characterized by its high protein content and a reduced sugar content compared to conventional commercial spreads. Its preparation was designed to offer a more balanced alternative without giving up the pleasure of this kind of product, keeping the flavor and texture that win over taste buds. Plus, it’s made without palm oil and is vegetarian-friendly, making it a versatile option for those who want to take care of themselves without hassle in their daily routine.
A recipe perfected to the max
Better taste, better texture: our best spread yet
At HSN, we’ve been tweaking this recipe over time to fine-tune exactly what makes a difference in a product like this: the mouthfeel, creaminess, ease of spreading, and the final sensation when eating it.
The goal wasn’t just to make a “higher protein” cream. The real challenge was to create a unique experience when you open the jar and try it: a perfect texture, delicious flavor, and that cocoa and hazelnut feeling that brings back memories of childhood breakfasts and snacks.
The final upgrade: a more stable texture even when it’s warm
One of the last things we worked on in optimizing the recipe was the natural oil separation, which could happen more easily when temperatures rose.
To fix this, we added shea butter as a natural emulsifier, helping keep a more uniform, smooth, and consistent texture. The result is a cream that’s nicer to use, more stable in the jar, and much more well-rounded for everyday use.
The final result is a cream that not only stands out for its nutritional profile but also hits that perfect spot of flavor and texture you’ll want to enjoy again and again.
The familiar taste, with a recipe adapted to your lifestyle
A familiar flavor
Some products are valued not just for their numbers but for what they awaken when you taste them. Nut Choco shines here: in that balance between the cocoa flavor, the hazelnut background, and a melting texture like the most popular cocoa spreads on the market.
The difference is that here, that pleasure comes in a version aligned with healthy eating. It doesn’t taste like a “substitute,” it tastes like real cocoa and hazelnut cream, with a well-crafted recipe designed to enjoy from the very first spoonful.
That little something that makes all the difference
A toast with cocoa cream is part of all our memories. It’s a familiar, comforting flavor easy to associate with breakfasts, after-school snacks, or little shared treats. Our cream brings back exactly that memory, while adapting it to a more conscious way of eating, aligned with an active and healthy lifestyle where ultra-processed products loaded with added sugars and saturated fats are avoided.
That’s why you’ll love it whether you train and track every detail of your diet or just want a more balanced option at home for those moments when you crave something tasty.
How to enjoy it: original usage ideas
The classic way: spread it, and that’s it
Some pleasures don’t need to be complicated. A good layer on toasts, rice cakes, crêpes, waffles, or freshly made pancakes is still one of the best ways to enjoy it.
It also works great on toasted sandwich bread, brioche, bagels, or even a slice of whole wheat bread when you want a breakfast or snack that balances convenience, flavor, and enjoyment.
With your homemade creations and sweet recipes
This cream is super versatile in the kitchen. You can use it as a filling, topping, coating, or that final touch that turns a simple recipe into something way more tempting.
- As a filling for crêpes, sweet wraps, or homemade pancakes.
- Topping a bowl of yogurt with fruit and nuts.
- On oatmeal porridge or rice cream.
- In homemade cakes, brownies, or muffins as a creamy center.
- Mixed into shakes to add a sweeter profile.
- By the spoonful, straight from the jar, when you just want to enjoy it as is.
HSN product combos that work great
If you want to get even more out of it, this cream pairs wonderfully with other HSN products in easy and delicious recipes.
Ideas worth trying:
- With Evocakes 2.0: use it as a topping once cooked, as a filling between layers, or slightly warmed for an even sweeter finish.
- With rice cream: an ideal combo for breakfasts and snacks with a well-achieved flavor.
- With high-protein yogurt: add a spoonful, stir lightly, and top with banana or strawberries.
- With oats: mix it into porridge or use it on top to transform a simple recipe into a much more tempting option.
Not just for athletes: an alternative for those who want to take care of themselves
Perfect for phases of self-care
For people who train, plan their meals, or want to improve the overall quality of their diet, this cream fits perfectly as a sweet option. It allows you to include a very tasty food within a routine where this kind of product is usually avoided.
Also for those who don’t want to live “on a diet”
But limiting it to the fitness world would be underselling it. This cream also makes sense for anyone who simply wants to eat better without making their diet rigid. For those looking for options with less sugar and a recipe based on quality ingredients, but without giving up the usual flavor and texture.
That’s where our Nut Choco shines: right in that sweet spot between taking care of yourself and still enjoying life.
Why choose HSN’s Hyperprotein Cocoa and Hazelnut Cream
Because it combines what often seems incompatible
Choosing this cream means betting on an option that brings together in one jar several things hard to find all at once: great taste, achieved texture, versatility of use, and a recipe designed to fit better into today’s diet.
It doesn’t aim to be just another copy. It aims to be an evolution: a cream that takes all the good from that classic flavor we all know and brings it to a version more aligned with what many consumers look for today.
If you love cocoa with hazelnuts and want to keep enjoying it with a higher protein option, less sugar, and no palm oil, Nut Choco will become one of those staples you always want to have at home.
