About the Product
Quamtrax's Choco Protein is the benchmark protein cocoa cream in the Quamtrax portfolio — the healthy and protein-rich alternative to conventional chocolate and hazelnut spreads like Nutella, with no added sugar, no palm oil, and a significant contribution of whey protein. Formulated with defatted cocoa, whey protein concentrate, and hazelnuts, Choco Protein combines the irresistible taste of chocolate with a nutritional profile compatible with a fitness diet — high in protein, low in saturated fats, no added sugars, and with maltitol sweetener for natural, low-glycemic impact sweetness. Available in 4 flavors: Milk Choco, White Choco, White Choco & Black Cookie, and Choco Vegan (the plant-based version without animal protein). 250g. Non-vegan in whey versions (Choco Vegan version is vegan). Contains milk and tree nuts.
Ingredients (Milk Choco): Defatted Cocoa Powder + Whey Protein Concentrate + Hazelnuts + Maltitol (sweetener) + [excipients and flavors as per flavor]. No added sugar. No palm oil.
Benefits
The protein alternative to Nutella: the chocolate spread that doesn't compromise your diet:
Choco Protein is Quamtrax's answer to one of the biggest contradictions of a fitness diet — the desire to eat chocolate spread for breakfast vs. the commitment to healthy, protein-rich eating. Conventional Nutella has ~57% sugar, ~31% fat (mostly saturated from palm oil) and only ~6% protein. Quamtrax's Choco Protein reverses this profile: no added sugar (sweetened with low-glycemic impact maltitol), no palm oil, and with whey protein as an active ingredient — resulting in a chocolate spread that can be eaten guilt-free as part of a fitness diet.
Defatted cocoa: intense chocolate flavor with lower fat content:
Defatted cocoa powder (also known as lean cocoa or low-fat cocoa) is produced by pressing cocoa liquor to remove cocoa butter, resulting in a powder with ~10 to 12% total fat (vs. 50 to 55% of whole cocoa). Defatted cocoa retains all the flavonoids, theobromine, and bioactive compounds of the original cocoa, with a chocolate flavor intensity superior to that of whole cocoa in certain applications (higher concentration of aromatic compounds per gram). For Choco Protein, the use of defatted cocoa allows for a leaner chocolate spread without compromising the intense chocolate flavor that defines the product.
Whey Protein Concentrate: the highest biological value protein integrated into the spread:
The inclusion of whey protein concentrate (WPC) as an ingredient in Choco Protein is the product's central differentiator compared to conventional chocolate spreads. WPC adds leucine, BCAAs, and all essential amino acids to the spread, creating a high-quality protein profile that supports muscle protein synthesis even when consumed as a snack or breakfast component. For athletes who want to maximize protein intake at all times of the day — including pleasure meals — Choco Protein transforms a chocolate snack into a high-quality protein vehicle.
Hazelnuts: monounsaturated fats and vitamin E from the oily base:
Hazelnuts contribute to the creamy texture and smooth, buttery flavor characteristic of Nutella-type chocolate spreads — being the oilseed with the highest proportion of oleic acid (Omega-9, ~77% of total fatty acids), vitamin E, and favorable cardiovascular properties. Hazelnuts also have higher levels of vitamin E, folic acid, and manganese than most other nuts, making the Choco Protein base nutritionally rich in addition to protein.
Maltitol: the low-glycemic impact sweetener that replaces sugar:
Maltitol (sugar alcohol — disaccharide of glucose + sorbitol) is the sweetener chosen for Choco Protein — it has ~75% of the sweetness of sucrose, ~40% of the calories of sugar, and a glycemic index of ~35 (vs. GI ~70 of sucrose), making it suitable for moderate glycemic control diets. Unlike sucralose (zero calories, zero GI), maltitol has some residual caloric and glycemic impact — in high doses, it can cause an osmotic laxative effect in sensitive individuals (a typical effect of polyols in doses >30g/day). The choice of maltitol instead of sucralose gives Choco Protein a texture and consistency closer to conventional chocolate spread.
4 flavors for 4 preference profiles:
Milk Choco — the classic, balanced, and familiar milk chocolate flavor. White Choco — sweeter and creamier, with the vanilla and milk notes of white chocolate without the bitterness of cocoa. White Choco & Black Cookie — the combination of white chocolate with black cookie pieces (Oreo type) that adds crunchy texture and contrasting flavors. Choco Vegan — the plant-based version without animal protein, for vegans who want the same protein chocolate spread without whey.
Uses
Consume as desired, alone or spread. Ideal on toast, protein bread, pancakes, waffles, protein shakes (1 tablespoon adds chocolate flavor + extra protein), Greek yogurt, oatmeal porridge, fitness muffins and cakes, or straight from the spoon as a snack. Suggested portion: ~10 to 30g. Store in a cool, dry place. 250g.
