If you’ve ever asked yourself “Do I really need supplements, or are they just a scam?” — you’re not alone. It’s a hot topic in the wellness world, and recently our founder and Sport Nutritionist, Dr. Juan Salinas, sat down with QuHarrison Terry to unpack the truth. The conversation touched on everything from supplements to walking, kids in the gym, and how stress melts away when you move your body. But here’s the big takeaway: exercise and nutrition go hand-in-hand — and that’s where functional snacks like Pnuff Crunch come in.

Supplements vs. Real Food
Supplements can be helpful, but let’s be real — not all of them are created equal. In fact, Dr. Salinas estimates that 70% of supplements are scams and only 30% deliver proven results. Things like creatine, aminos, caffeine, or protein powders have strong science behind them, but they work best when paired with a solid foundation: balanced eating, good sleep, and consistent movement.
That’s why more athletes and health-conscious snackers are reaching for healthy protein snacks that come from real, whole-food sources instead of chasing every new powder or pill on the market. Enter Pnuff Crunch: plant-based puffs packed with peanuts, navy beans, and rice. They’re baked, never fried, and deliver a clean hit of protein without the mystery.

Walking: The Underrated Superpower
One of the coolest points raised in the discussion? Walking is one of the most studied forms of exercise in science — and the results might surprise you. It turns out, walking can burn more fat than running at high speeds. And because it’s safe, free, and accessible for all ages, it’s basically the best snack for your body (pun intended).
Pair that daily walk with a bag of low sugar snacks like Pnuff Crunch, and you’ve got a simple, powerful routine: move your body, fuel with clean energy, and repeat.

Kids, Gyms, and Safe Strength
Should kids lift weights? The answer: maybe, but only with supervision, good form, and light weights. The bigger message? Kids need safe ways to build strength, confidence, and healthy habits. That includes what they put into their lunchboxes.
That’s why parents love Pnuff Crunch as a school snack. It’s peanut-based but crafted to be compliant for many schools, gluten-free, and low in sugar. It gives kids the protein they need without the junk they don’t. It’s one of those rare protein snacks for kids that you actually feel good about.

Mental Health, Stress & the Crunch Factor
Exercise doesn’t just build muscle; it builds resilience. Dr. Salinas shared that working out helps him manage stress as an entrepreneur — keeping his mind sharp and his energy up. QuHarrison added that running feels like meditation, a way to break free from stress loops.
That’s where healthy crunchy snacks like Pnuff Crunch fit in again. Because let’s face it, stress-eating happens — so why not reach for a post-workout crunchy snack that fuels recovery instead of derailing it? Every puff delivers plant-based protein and fiber, making it one of the best snacks for abs if you’re chasing performance and balance.

Why Pnuff Crunch is the Functional Snack You’ve Been Waiting For
We live in a world where food labels can be tricky, and supplements can be even trickier. But clean label snacks cut through the noise. With just a handful of simple, natural ingredients, Pnuff Crunch is proof that you don’t need artificial boosts to stay strong, energized, and satisfied.
Whether you’re an athlete looking for snacks that fuel performance, a parent searching for better snacks for kids, or just someone trying to keep their stress-snacking in check, Pnuff Crunch has you covered.

The Crunch Takeaway
Supplements might have their place, but the real foundation of health is simple: move your body, eat clean, manage stress, and fuel smart. Pnuff Crunch isn’t just a snack — it’s a functional partner in your daily routine.
So next time you’re heading out for a walk, packing a school lunch, or recovering from a workout, grab a bag of baked puff snacks that deliver plant-based protein with every crunchy bite. Because sometimes the best performance booster isn’t in a pill — it’s in a puff.
