Pulse Organic Chocolate-Hazelnut Protein Spread
What is Pulse Organic Chocolate-Hazelnut Protein Spread?
Pulse Organic Chocolate-Hazelnut Protein Spread is a premium, plant-based alternative to conventional chocolate spreads, crafted in France with 18% cocoa, real hazelnut paste, and pea protein. It delivers the creamy, indulgent texture and intense chocolate flavor you crave, while bringing 18g of protein per 100g and 10g of fiber per 100g to the table.
Where conventional spreads rely on palm oil, refined sugars, and empty calories, Pulse takes a different path: sunflower oil instead of palm oil, cocoa butter for richness, pea protein for a meaningful protein boost, and a touch of bourbon vanilla extract for depth of flavor. Every ingredient carries organic certification.
This spread is built for athletes and active people who refuse to choose between taste and nutrition. Whether you spread it on whole-grain toast before training, swirl it into your morning oats, or use it to transform a simple snack into something genuinely satisfying, Pulse Protein Spread delivers on every level.
Available in a 300g jar, with a subscription option for those who know they will not be going back to the classic.
Indulgence with a purpose. Chocolate that works for you.

How Pulse Protein Spread supports your objectives
💪 Meaningful plant-based protein per serving With 18g of protein per 100g, this spread contributes genuinely to your daily protein intake, unlike conventional chocolate spreads which offer virtually none. A 30g serving on toast delivers approximately 5.4g of protein before you have even started your day.
🌾 High in dietary fiber At 10g of fiber per 100g, Pulse Protein Spread supports digestive health and contributes to satiety. Fiber slows glucose absorption, helping to moderate the energy release from the natural sugars present in the product.
🚫 No palm oil Sunflower oil and cocoa butter replace palm oil entirely. A cleaner fat profile, better for your body and better for the planet.
🥜 Real hazelnut paste, real cocoa 18% cocoa and genuine hazelnut paste deliver an authentic flavor that no artificial flavoring can replicate. Rich in natural flavonoids from cocoa, which support cardiovascular health and act as antioxidants.
🌱 Organic and vegan certified All ingredients carry organic certification. No pesticides, no GMOs, no animal-derived ingredients. A spread you can trust and enjoy every single day.

Q1 — How does Pulse Protein Spread compare to conventional chocolate spreads? Conventional chocolate spreads typically contain 5 to 6% protein at best, rely on palm oil, and are loaded with refined sugars. Pulse delivers 18g of protein per 100g, uses sunflower oil instead of palm oil, and carries full organic certification. The caloric density is similar, but the nutritional quality is in a completely different category.
Q2 — Is this spread suitable for people with nut allergies? The spread contains hazelnut paste and may contain traces of other nuts. It is not suitable for people with tree nut allergies. Always check the packaging for the most current allergen information before consuming.
Q3 — Does it need to be refrigerated? No. Store in a cool, dry place between 15°C and 20°C, away from heat and humidity. Refrigeration is not required and may make the spread harder to use. Do not store near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
Q4 — Can I use Pulse Protein Spread in baking and cooking? Absolutely. It melts well when gently warmed, making it ideal for protein-enriched pancake toppings, warm porridge swirls, protein brownie fillings, or homemade protein energy balls. See Tab 7 for recipe ideas.
Q5 — Is the sugar content too high for a fitness diet? The 25g of sugars per 100g comes from organic cane sugar and is comparable to most nut-based spreads on the market. Used in a standard 20 to 30g serving, you are consuming 5 to 7.5g of sugar per portion, which is entirely manageable within a balanced diet. The 10g of fiber per 100g helps moderate the glycemic impact of those sugars.
