Technical Details and Features

The Swiss Chocolate Cacao Nibs variety uses a short ingredient list: oat flakes [CH], milk protein [CH], dark chocolate 11.28% [CH] (raw cane sugar, cocoa beans, cocoa butter, sunflower lecithin), broken cocoa beans 11.28% [GH] and sugar [CH]. Per 60g serving it provides approx. 1047 kJ (249 kcal), 7.43g fat (of which 3.47g saturated), 29.66g carbohydrates (of which 11.56g sugar), 3.97g fiber including 1.40g beta-glucans, 13.91g protein and 0.04g salt. The gluten content is 32 ppm (low gluten); the product may contain traces of gluten and contains milk protein as an allergen. Preparation is simple: mix 60g with 150ml hot water and let rest for 5 minutes – your creamy porridge with real cocoa crunch is ready. The oat base supports the manufacturer's claim of a low glycemic response; additionally, the EFSA health claim for beta-glucans (maintaining normal cholesterol levels, from 3g/day) is substantiated.

Applications and Benefits

For cyclists, this porridge is an uncomplicated breakfast before long rides, as it combines complex carbohydrates, protein and fiber in a warm, easily digestible meal. Early starters benefit from the quick 5-minute preparation and the steady energy release from oats, which is pleasant for base training and commuting routes. Thanks to the fiber-induced satiety effect, the porridge can also be used as a recovery snack after training, perhaps together with a banana or a handful of nuts. Compared to more processed oat products, less processed oat flakes tend to show a lower to moderate glycemic response, which can be helpful for consistent performance without sugar roller coasters.

For the Swiss Chocolate Cacao Nibs variety, the chocolate components come from Swiss production, supporting short supply chains and consistent quality.
