Are Peanut Puffs Healthy?

By Dr. Juan Salinas

One of the most common questions we get asked is whether our P-nuffs are healthy. The short answer is: yes! But we won’t just leave you with that, we want to explain ourselves so that you leave this blog believing in the health of our product so that next time you go to grab a snack it’s P-nuff Crunch!

 

What makes a snack healthy?

Did you know that many common snack products on the market today are filled with chemicals, preservatives, unnatural GMO ingredients, trans fats, and refined sugars? Even the products that are advertised as healthy! For example, most ‘healthy’ granola bars are filled with high-fructose corn syrup - a type of calorically dense super-sweet sugar that has been scientifically linked to weight gain.


Here at P-nuff, we consider a snack healthy if it is made from natural ingredients, provides key nutrients like protein, healthy carbs, vitamins, and is lower in calories so that it doesn’t cause you to accidentally overeat. So with that being said, let’s take a look at what is inside our peanut puffs, to establish why they are so healthy.


What are peanut puffs?

If you are yet to try P-nuff Crunch, where have you been?! P-nuff Crunch are peanut puffs made directly from roasted peanuts combined with healthy whole grains to make a puffed and delicious snack.


But not all peanut puffs are equal: there are many different types of brands who create slightly different variations of peanut puffers. For example, brands like Bamba, Popchips Nutter Puffs and PuffWorks create corn based peanut puffs, whereas here at Pnuff-Crunch, we are the only creators of peanut puffs directly made from navy bean, rice and roasted peanuts.


Why P-nuff Crunch peanut puffs are healthy

  1. Nutrient-density

  1. Lower calorie

Compared to other puffs, like cheese puffs, our peanut puffs are lower in calories. While caloric density shouldn’t be the main focus when it comes to a snack, it is important. Overeating calories is directly linked to weight gain.

This protein is derived from navy beans, brown rice, and peanuts - this is a complete protein source providing all of the essential amino acids that builds muscle and helps you stay fit. Pure plant protein!
