What is DailyLife's GoNuts spread?
DailyLife GoNuts is a cocoa-hazelnut spread reformulated to be high in protein and very low in sugars. Per 100 g it provides 25 g of protein and less than 1 g of sugars. The jar holds 350 g.
DailyLife is an Italian brand specialising in reformulated snack products — the idea is not to invent a new food, but to take a product everyone already knows and change its nutritional profile. Here the benchmark is obvious: a classic spread contains around 55 g of sugars per 100 g and 6 g of protein. The ratio is reversed.
What makes that possible is replacing the sugar with maltitol and adding whey protein. It is a deliberate formulation choice, with its advantages and its limits, and we set out both further down. The rest of the brand can be browsed in our DailyLife section, and the other spreads and nut butters in our peanut butter section.
What is in GoNuts?
| Composition | Per 100 g | Per 20 g (one slice) |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | 25 g | 5 g |
| Sugars | less than 1 g | less than 0.2 g |
| Fat | not disclosed | not disclosed |
| Fibre | not disclosed | not disclosed |
| Packaging | 350 g jar | |
25 g of protein per 100 g is a quarter of the jar. That is what genuinely sets this product apart from an ordinary spread, and the figure is accurate. In practice a generous slice takes about 20 g of product, so 5 g of protein: a worthwhile top-up at breakfast, not a main source. Do not count on it to cover your needs for the day.
We have to be blunt about what the manufacturer does not publish: fat, energy value and fibre do not appear in the data available to us. That is awkward on a high-fat product, and we would rather write it than line up a figure found elsewhere. Refer to the table printed on the jar you receive. What the ingredients list does tell us, on the other hand, is that two oils are present — shea and sunflower — and that there is no palm oil.
The point that deserves the most attention is maltitol. It is the first ingredient on the list: it is what replaces the sugar and what explains the “less than 1 g of sugars” line. Maltitol is a polyol; it does not count as sugar in regulatory terms, but it still provides calories and it is poorly tolerated in large amounts. The manufacturer flags it itself: excessive consumption may have laxative effects. That is not boilerplate, it is the reality of this family of sweeteners — and it is why we talk about slices of bread rather than one spoonful after another.
On the regulatory side, one point worth knowing: the wording “source of protein” is a controlled nutrition claim, which a product may carry as soon as 12% of its energy value comes from protein. No promise of results, on the other hand, is permitted. This product is a reformulated spread: pleasant, higher in protein than most, and nothing more.
Ingredients list
Sweetener: maltitol, whey protein (MILK), shea oil, low-fat cocoa powder, sunflower oil, milk powder, SOYA flour, emulsifier: SOYA lecithin, flavouring.
Allergens: MILK and SOYA. May contain traces of NUTS. No palm oil, no added sugars. Excessive consumption may have laxative effects.
How do you eat GoNuts?
Serving: 15 to 20 g at breakfast, 10 to 15 g as a snack. Base: wholemeal bread, crispbread, or as a recipe ingredient. Timing: morning or snack. Frequency: one to two servings a day. Duration: no notion of a course, it is a food.
Stir the jar before first use. The oil naturally rises to the surface during storage, as it does in any nut butter without a stabilising additive. One turn of a knife and the texture is even again. Without that, the first slice is oily and the bottom of the jar turns dry.
It cooks as well as it spreads. A spoonful in fromage blanc, in a bowlcake, in a protein pancake batter or as a muffin topping: that is often where it is at its most interesting, because it brings the cocoa-hazelnut flavour without the usual sugar load.
Keep the quantities sensible, and not for diet reasons. Maltitol is well tolerated in small servings and much less so when you get through half the jar in front of a film. Start with a 15 g serving to see how you tolerate it, since digestive sensitivity to polyols varies enormously from one person to another.
One last thing, and it is an obvious point that deserves writing down: this is not a main protein source. It rounds out a breakfast, it does not replace one. If your goal is protein intake, a scoop of protein powder does the job far more efficiently.
Who is GoNuts for, and who is it not for?
It is aimed at someone who likes spreads and is looking to cut the sugars in their breakfast without giving up the taste. It is a substitute product, and it is well designed for that. It also suits people who make their own snacks and want a low-sugar cocoa-hazelnut ingredient.
It is not suitable for people allergic to milk or soya, both of which are in the recipe. Traces of nuts are possible: if your allergy is severe, bear that in mind. Nor is it suitable for vegan diets, since the whey protein and the milk powder are dairy-derived.
It should be avoided if you digest polyols badly. Maltitol causes bloating and intestinal discomfort in some people, and the tolerance threshold varies a great deal. If you already know that chewing gum and “sugar-free” products upset you, this product will upset you too. With children, adjust the servings.
What not to expect from it. It does not make you lose weight, it replaces no meal and it is not a food supplement despite the 25 g of protein on the label. It remains a treat food, higher in protein and far less sugary than a classic spread — that is already reason enough to choose it, and no other is needed.
Protein spread or peanut butter?
That is the real trade-off in this section, and it is settled on composition more than on taste.
A pure peanut butter contains a single ingredient: peanuts. No sweetener, no emulsifier, no flavouring. It provides around 25 g of protein per 100 g, exactly the same order of magnitude as here, with higher fat but entirely plant-based and unprocessed. If your criterion is the simplicity of the ingredients list, our peanut butter section wins hands down.
GoNuts wins on cocoa-hazelnut flavour and on texture. A peanut butter, however good, does not replace a chocolate spread for someone who grew up with one. That is the need this product addresses, and answering it with a lecture about natural products has never convinced anyone at the counter.
A third option, often the smartest one: if it is the sugar that bothers you on your morning toast, a zero-sugar jam brings the fruit flavour with no fat at all, and combines very well with a nut butter. And if you are simply after a sweet snack that fits in a bag, protein bars answer that need better than a 350 g jar.
Frequently asked questions
How much protein in one slice?
About 5 g for a 20 g serving, on the basis of 25 g of protein per 100 g. That is a reasonable top-up at breakfast, not a main source. For comparison, a standard scoop of protein powder provides five times as much.
Why so little sugar?
Because the sugar is replaced by maltitol, a polyol that does not count as sugar in regulatory terms. It still provides calories and can cause digestive discomfort in large amounts. That is the accepted trade-off of this type of recipe.
Does the product contain palm oil?
No. The two fats in the recipe are shea oil and sunflower oil. It is a point on which the formulation stands clearly apart from classic spreads, almost all of which rely on palm oil.
What are the allergens?
Milk, through the whey protein and the milk powder, and soya, present as flour and as lecithin. The manufacturer also flags possible traces of nuts. The product is therefore unsuitable both for people allergic to milk or soya and for vegan diets.
What is the energy value per 100 g?
The manufacturer does not disclose it in the data available to us, any more than the fat or fibre content. We are not going to invent it. Refer to the nutrition table printed on the jar you receive: it is the only reliable source on this point.
Why does it need stirring before use?
Because the oil rises to the surface during storage, the recipe containing no heavy stabiliser. One turn of a knife is enough to restore an even texture. Without that, the first slice is greasy and the bottom of the jar ends up dry and compact.
Can it be heated or cooked with?
Yes, it works well in a bowlcake, in pancakes or in muffins, and that is often its best use. Add it towards the end of the preparation or as a topping: long cooking at high temperature degrades the cocoa flavour and hardens the texture.
Where to buy DailyLife GoNuts?
The 350 g jar can be ordered from this page, and we ship anywhere in France and Europe. At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, it is a product we happily suggest to anyone who wants to lighten their breakfast without giving it up — but we always mention the maltitol, because tolerance varies and it is better to know beforehand than afterwards. The rest of our snack ideas can be browsed in the protein snack section.
What is DailyLife Protein Pancake?
DailyLife Protein Pancake is a powdered pancake mix, to be blended with water or milk and cooked in a frying pan. A 50 g serving provides 19.5 g of protein, i.e. 39% of the powder, and is built on 45% oat flour. The manufacturer states a net weight of 500 g, which works out at ten servings per pack.
The composition comes down to two blocks: oat flour for the carbohydrate base, and a protein blend combining whey concentrate, egg albumin and hydrolysed whey peptides. To these are added waxy maize starch and medium-chain triglycerides derived from coconut oil.
The versions in the range: Chocolate, Vanilla and Natural. The base is identical in all three; only the flavouring, the cocoa and the colouring change. The Natural version additionally contains whey isolate in its protein blend. The rest of the brand can be browsed in our DailyLife section, and the other mixes in our protein pancakes section.
What does a serving of Protein Pancake contain?
| Composition | Per 50 g serving | Per 100 g of powder |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | 19.5 g | 39 g |
| Oat flour | 45% of the recipe | |
| Energy, carbohydrate, fat | not disclosed by the manufacturer | |
| Liquid for preparation | 100 ml of skimmed milk or water per 50 g | |
| Pack size | 500 g stated, i.e. 10 servings | |
19.5 g of protein in a plate of pancakes is what you get from three eggs. That is the useful benchmark. This is a genuine protein breakfast, not a side dish: for comparison, an ordinary supermarket pancake mix tops out at around 8 to 10% protein, against 39% here.
The protein blend is more interesting than it looks. Whey concentrate, egg albumin, hydrolysed peptides: this is not a decorative choice. Egg albumin holds up to cooking better than whey alone, which tends to turn rubbery when heated. That is the technical reason these mixes exist instead of simply stirring whey into flour, and it is what makes the difference in the pan.
What the manufacturer does not publish has to be said: the energy values, the carbohydrate and the fat do not appear in the data available to us. On a product sold as a breakfast base, that is a gap, and we are not going to fill the box with an approximate figure. Refer to the table printed on the packaging. What we do know is that the base is 45% oats, so complex carbohydrates, and that the only added fats are medium-chain triglycerides derived from coconut oil.
On the regulatory side, one authorised claim can be quoted word for word: protein contributes to a growth in and the maintenance of muscle mass, and to the maintenance of normal bones. That is the official European wording, and it is justified here by the content. For the oats, the MCTs or the hydrolysed peptides, no claim is authorised: we are describing a composition, not an effect.
Ingredients list
Chocolate: OAT flour 45%, protein blend [WHEY protein concentrate, powdered albumin (from EGG), hydrolysed WHEY peptides], fat-reduced cocoa powder, waxy maize starch, medium-chain triglycerides (from coconut oil), flavourings, emulsifier: sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sweetener: sucralose.
Vanilla: the same base, with the addition of a colouring (beta-carotene).
Natural: OAT flour 45%, protein blend [WHEY protein concentrate, powdered albumin (from EGG), WHEY protein isolate, hydrolysed WHEY peptides], waxy maize starch, vegetable oil [medium-chain triglycerides (from coconut oil)], emulsifier: sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sweetener: sucralose.
Allergens: EGG, MILK PROTEIN, GLUTEN. Made in a factory that also handles soya, peanuts and crustacean-based ingredients. Excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.
How do you make Protein Pancake?
Dose: 2 scoops, i.e. 50 g of powder. Liquid: 100 ml of skimmed milk or water. Cooking: lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat; flip when bubbles appear on the surface. Time: under five minutes. Timing: breakfast, after a session, or as a snack.
The 50 g to 100 ml ratio gives a thick batter, and that is deliberate. A batter that is too runny spreads across the pan and gives thin pancakes that tear when you flip them. If you want tall, fluffy pancakes, stick to that 100 ml; add another 10 to 20 ml only if the powder is not hydrating fully.
Let the batter rest for two or three minutes before cooking. The oats and the carboxymethyl cellulose need that time to absorb the liquid, and the texture changes completely. This is the tip that turns a disappointing first attempt into a decent result, and nobody ever writes it on the packaging.
Medium heat, never high. High-protein mixes burn on the surface before they are cooked through if the pan is too hot. Allow two to three minutes on each side and wait for the bubbles before flipping. Skimmed milk gives a fluffier result than water, for a slightly higher protein intake.
As for toppings, anything goes: fresh fruit, quark, a spoonful of nut butter from our peanut butter section, or a zero-sugar jam if you want to keep the plate low in sugar.
Who is Protein Pancake for, and who is it not for?
It is aimed at someone who wants a substantial protein breakfast without counting grams or getting out three ingredients. The honest comparison is this: you can achieve the same thing with porridge oats, whey and an egg white, for less money. What you are buying here is the fact that the blend is already made and that it holds up to cooking.
It is not suitable for anyone allergic to egg or milk protein, both of which are present. It contains gluten, the oats being declared as such: it must therefore be ruled out in cases of coeliac disease. The manufacturer states that it is made in a factory that also handles soya, peanuts and crustacean-based ingredients — worth knowing if your allergy is severe.
Nor is it suitable for vegan diets, with whey and egg albumin in the recipe. And it contains sucralose: if you avoid artificial sweeteners, this is not the product for you.
What not to expect from it. It is not a meal replacement, as the manufacturer states itself, and it is not a slimming product. Excessive consumption may have a laxative effect. It does not build muscle on its own: it is a convenient, well-composed breakfast, which is already a good reason to buy it.
Pancake mix, or oat flour and protein bought separately?
This is the question any reasonably discerning customer asks, and it deserves a straight answer.
Buying separately costs less, no argument. A bag of oat flour and a tub of protein let you put together exactly the same kind of mix, adjusting the ratio to your taste, and serve ten other purposes with the same products. If you already cook, that is the more rational route.
The ready-made mix wins on one technical point and on consistency. The technical point is the egg albumin and the emulsifier: they hold up to cooking where a home-made blend of whey and flour often turns out dry or rubbery. Consistency is more mundane: two scoops and 100 ml, there is nothing to think about at 7:00 in the morning, and a breakfast you actually make beats a perfect recipe you skip.
And if what you are after is instead a neutral carbohydrate base to combine freely with your protein, cream of rice answers that need better: it is prepared without cooking and digests more easily before a training session.
Frequently asked questions
How much protein per serving?
19.5 g per 50 g of powder, i.e. 39% of the mix. That is the equivalent of three eggs. The blend combines whey concentrate, egg albumin and hydrolysed whey peptides, with the Natural version additionally containing isolate.
Which versions are available?
In the range: Chocolate, Vanilla and Natural. The base is identical, only the flavouring, the cocoa and the colouring change from one version to the next. The Natural version lends itself well to savoury or sweet toppings, the other two are already flavoured.
Water or milk for the batter?
Both work, with 100 ml per 50 g of powder. Skimmed milk gives fluffier pancakes and a little more protein; water gives a lighter result with a more neutral taste. It is a matter of preference, not of technical success.
Does the product contain gluten?
Yes, the oats are declared as a source of gluten and account for 45% of the recipe. The product must therefore be ruled out in cases of coeliac disease. The other declared allergens are egg and milk protein.
Why do my pancakes tear?
Almost always for two reasons: the batter is too runny, or the pan is too hot. Stick to the 100 ml per 50 g, let the batter rest for two to three minutes before cooking, and work over medium heat. Only flip when bubbles appear on the surface.
How many servings in a pack?
The manufacturer states a net weight of 500 g, which amounts to ten 50 g servings. The full nutrition table — energy, carbohydrate, fat — does not appear in the data available to us: refer to the packaging you receive.
Can the batter be made the night before?
There is nothing against it overnight, in the fridge and in a sealed container: the batter will thicken, and you simply add a little liquid. The product contains milk protein and egg, so do not leave it at room temperature and cook it the following morning.
Where to buy DailyLife Protein Pancake
The mix can be ordered from this page in the versions available, and we ship throughout France and Europe. At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is the product we reach for when someone tells us they eat nothing in the morning: a breakfast that takes five minutes to make and delivers 19.5 g of protein solves the problem better than yet another shake. The rest of the selection can be browsed in the protein snack section.
Who is DailyLife?
DailyLife (also spelled Daily Life) is an Italian brand of diet foods and sports snacks. Its official website and most of its distribution are Italian, and it arrives in France through specialized retailers.
We will intentionally stop there regarding the brand's history. We have not found a reliable source for its creation year, parent company, or production site, and we prefer a concise page over a fictionalized one. What we can describe precisely, however, are the products we actually stock and their value.
The positioning is evident in the catalog: DailyLife focuses on the "pleasure" aspect of sports nutrition — spreads, pancake mixes, desserts — rather than supplements. It is a grocery brand, not a powder brand.
How good are DailyLife products?
The two products we stock share a common philosophy: to take a breakfast or snack item and increase its protein content while lowering its sugar content. This is not original in itself; what distinguishes the brand is the high level of protein achieved in each category, which is in the upper range of the market.
The expected weakness of this product family is the same everywhere: when sugar is removed from a spread, it must be replaced by something else, and that something else is either a sweetener, fat, or fiber. The nutritional panel tells you which. We'll come back to this below.
What DailyLife products do we sell?
GoNuts, the protein spread
GoNuts is a chocolate-hazelnut spread advertised with 25% whey protein and less than 1% sugar, formulated without palm oil. It is the product that made the brand known outside Italy.
In use, it fulfills its purpose: it spreads well, tastes like a chocolate-hazelnut spread should, and provides a quantity of protein that no classic spread can match. It directly compares to peanut butter, which has a higher fat and lower sugar profile, and to Rabeko's protein spread, in a Belgian chocolate style.
Protein Pancake, the pancake mix
Protein Pancake is a powder mix with over 39% protein, made with 45% oat flour, and a multi-source protein blend: whey protein concentrate, egg albumin, whey isolate, and hydrolyzed whey peptides. It provides 2.8g of sugar per 100g and contains medium-chain triglycerides from coconut oil. The jar contains 500g, and a 50g serving provides approximately 19.5g of protein.
It's a good pantry staple: it's prepared with water in a few minutes and replaces a breakfast that, without it, often consists only of carbohydrates. It complements our protein pancakes section and logically pairs with a zero syrup or sauce rather than maple syrup.
Our retailer's opinion
What works. These are two honest products regarding their promises, and the pancake mix, in particular, is well-designed: the oat base provides complex carbohydrates and fiber, making it a real breakfast and not a protein dessert. The blend of protein sources, milk and egg, is more balanced than simply adding whey to flour.
The main limitation: a spread with 25% protein remains primarily a fatty product. Sugar has been removed, but energy must come from somewhere, and it comes from lipids — hazelnuts and vegetable fats. For GoNuts, as with all spreads in this category, the caloric density per spoonful is not very different from that of a classic spread: what you gain is a better nutritional profile, not a light food. A "fitness" spread eaten by the spoonful in front of a screen causes exactly the same damage as any other.
Two other caveats. The brand's communication talks about sweeteners without always clearly naming them: read the ingredient list on the jar, especially if you have difficulty tolerating polyols. And our French listing is narrow — we have two products from an Italian catalog that contains many more. If you are looking for a complete and consistent range from a single manufacturer, this is not the right brand.
DailyLife or Rabeko?
The two brands overlap on spreads. Rabeko is Belgian, and its Protein Spread plays on the Belgian chocolate card, with 20% protein, sweetened with maltitol. DailyLife's GoNuts has up to 25% protein and claims to be palm oil-free.
In practice: for pure taste, it's a matter of personal preference, and no one can decide for you. In terms of composition, DailyLife has the highest protein content; Rabeko, however, covers many more categories, from syrup to jam. And if your goal is a simple toast with no sugar or sweetener at all, a 100% peanut butter remains the simplest option on the shelf.
Frequently asked questions
Is DailyLife an Italian brand?
Yes, it is an Italian brand of diet foods and sports snacks. We do not have a reliable source for its creation year, so we do not attribute any date to it.
Does GoNuts contain palm oil?
No, the formulation is announced as palm oil-free. Fats come from hazelnuts and other vegetable oils, detailed on the jar's label.
How many calories are in a protein spread?
Much more than the "sugar-free" label suggests. In this entire category, removed sugar is compensated by lipids — hazelnuts, vegetable oils — which provide 9 kcal per gram compared to 4 for a carbohydrate. The total per spoonful therefore remains similar to that of a classic spread. The exact figure is on the nutritional panel of the jar, which is authoritative, and we invite you to read it before purchase rather than believing a superficial claim. The useful reflex: weigh a portion of 15 to 20g rather than serving by the spoon.
Does protein spread help you lose weight?
No, no food makes you lose weight. It has a better nutritional profile than a classic spread for the same quantity, which is different. The result depends on the caloric balance of the entire day, and a weighed portion is better than a spoon taken from the jar.
What to eat GoNuts with?
The simplest is toast on whole wheat bread, or a spoonful on pancakes prepared with the same brand's powder. It also works in a bowl of oatmeal, on a banana, or melted for about fifteen seconds in the microwave to make a topping. To avoid: eating it by the spoon directly from the jar, where the quantity consumed becomes impossible to estimate.
How to store GoNuts after opening?
At room temperature, with the lid tightly closed, away from light and heat. The storage period after opening indicated on the packaging is authoritative. Do not put it in the refrigerator: it hardens and becomes impossible to spread. If a little oil rises to the surface, it's normal for a nut-based spread — just stir.
How to prepare pancakes?
The mix is combined with water — or the milk of your choice — then cooked over medium heat for a few minutes per side. Count on a 50g portion for approximately 19.5g of protein. Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking: the oat flakes hydrate, and the texture is more consistent.
Do these products contain allergens?
Yes. GoNuts contains tree nuts and milk proteins. The pancake mix contains milk and egg. In case of allergies, the packaging label is the only reference to consult.
Are they suitable for vegetarians? For vegans?
For vegetarians, yes. For vegans, no: the proteins used are dairy-based and, for pancakes, also from eggs. For a plant-based option, see our plant-based proteins.
Where to buy DailyLife in France?
From specialized sports nutrition retailers: the brand is not distributed in French supermarkets. We stock it and ship all over France and Europe.
Is DailyLife available in stores near Montpellier?
The DailyLife products we stock are displayed on the shelves in our Vendargues store, about ten minutes from Montpellier. For a spread, the only useful advice at the counter is to look at the nutritional table side-by-side with another jar: the real difference between two "protein" products can be seen in a few seconds, and it is not always what the front of the jar advertises.
Everything can be ordered online. Also explore: our protein cookies, our oat flour, and our protein snacks.
These products are part of a varied and balanced diet and do not replace medical advice.

From specialized sports nutrition retailers: the brand is not distributed in French supermarkets. We stock it and ship all over France and Europe.
Is DailyLife available in stores near Montpellier?
The DailyLife products we stock are displayed on the shelves in our Vendargues store, about ten minutes from Montpellier. For a spread, the only useful advice at the counter is to look at the nutritional table side-by-side with another jar: the real difference between two "protein" products can be seen in a few seconds, and it is not always what the front of the jar advertises.
Everything can be ordered online. Also explore: our protein cookies, our oat flour, and our protein snacks.
These products are part of a varied and balanced diet and do not replace medical advice.

Questions fréquentes — DailyLife
La GoNuts contient-elle de l'huile de palme ?
Non, la formulation est annoncée sans huile de palme. Les matières grasses proviennent des noisettes et d'autres huiles végétales, détaillées sur l'étiquette du pot.
Combien de calories dans une pâte à tartiner protéinée ?
Sur toute cette catégorie, le sucre retiré est compensé par des lipides — noisettes, huiles végétales — qui apportent 9 kcal par gramme contre 4 pour un glucide : le total à la cuillerée reste donc du même ordre que celui d'une pâte à tartiner classique, avec un profil nutritionnel nettement meilleur. Le chiffre exact figure sur le tableau nutritionnel du pot, qui fait foi. Le réflexe utile : peser une portion de 15 à 20 g plutôt que de servir à la cuillère.
La pâte à tartiner protéinée fait-elle maigrir ?
Non, aucun aliment ne fait maigrir. Elle a un meilleur profil nutritionnel qu'une pâte à tartiner classique à quantité égale, ce qui est différent. Le résultat dépend du bilan calorique de la journée entière, et une portion pesée vaut mieux qu'une cuillère prise dans le pot.
Avec quoi manger la GoNuts ?
Le plus simple reste la tartine sur du pain complet, ou une cuillerée sur les pancakes préparés avec la poudre de la même marque. Elle fonctionne aussi dans un bol de flocons d'avoine, sur une banane, ou fondue une quinzaine de secondes au micro-ondes pour en faire un nappage. Pesez la portion plutôt que de la prendre à la cuillère dans le pot : c'est ce qui permet de la compter juste.
Comment conserver la GoNuts après ouverture ?
À température ambiante, pot bien refermé, à l'abri de la lumière et de la chaleur. La conservation après ouverture indiquée sur l'emballage fait foi. Ne la mettez pas au réfrigérateur : elle durcit et devient impossible à étaler. Si un peu d'huile remonte en surface, c'est normal sur une pâte aux fruits à coque — il suffit de mélanger.
Comment préparer les pancakes ?
La préparation se mélange à l'eau — ou au lait de votre choix — puis se cuit à feu moyen quelques minutes par face. Comptez une portion de 50 g pour environ 19,5 g de protéines. Laissez reposer la pâte quelques minutes avant cuisson : les flocons d'avoine s'hydratent et la texture est plus régulière.
Ces produits contiennent-ils des allergènes ?
Oui. La GoNuts contient des fruits à coque et des protéines de lait. La préparation pour pancakes contient du lait et de l'œuf. En cas d'allergie, l'étiquette de l'emballage est la seule référence à consulter.
Conviennent-ils aux végétariens ? Aux végétaliens ?
Aux végétariens, oui. Aux végétaliens, non : les protéines employées sont d'origine laitière et, pour les pancakes, également issues de l'œuf. Pour une option végétale, voyez nos protéines végétales.
Que trouve-t-on de DailyLife chez nous ?
Les deux références que nous suivons sont en rayon à la boutique et commandées en ligne : nous expédions partout en France et en Europe.
