Alpino’s Peanut Butter & Chocolate Oats: A Protein-Packed Breakfast

Alpino Peanut Butter Super Oats Chocolate secures a spot on Mishry’s Best Products of 2023 List.

Oats are often associated with adjectives like bland, boring, or tasteless. But things are about to change!

Alpino, popular for its peanut butter range targeted at fitness enthusiasts, has expanded its product lineup to include a variety of nutritionally fortified oats. Their latest offering is the Peanut Butter & Chocolate Super Oats. We conducted a comprehensive review, assessing various parameters such as taste, texture, and nutritional value.

Here are details on how we conducted the Alpino High Protein Oats Review.

We set the following review factors for testing Alpino High Protein Chocolate Oats: 

1. Taste 

We tested the flavor of chocolate, peanut butter, and overall freshness under this criterion. Given that oats have a neutral flavor, our focus was primarily on the other components, – chocolate and peanut butter.

Did we detect any artificial aftertaste? 

2. Texture 

The texture of oats was the main focus here. How significant is the crunch? Keeping this in mind, would these be suitable for consuming as is or would they be better as overnight oats? 

3. Nutri Label (Ingredients + Nutri Values)

The oats we have here are chocolate-flavored and high in protein, which is clearly stated on the packaging. To verify the high protein claim, we checked the Nutrition label and compared the protein content and calories per serving. We also took into account the list of ingredients, as a clean ingredient list is highly appreciated by us.

4. Supporting Parameters 

The price, shelf life, and package information are all stated here.

Product Highlights

These oats come in an attractive purple color pack which is resealable. A 400 gm is priced at Rs. 249. It has a 12-month shelf life. 

Nutrition Label (Ingredients + Nutri Info)

The three primary ingredients seen here are: Rolled oats (77%), Natural peanut butter (unsweetened) (20%), and Cocoa (3%). 

Per 100 gm, these chocolate oats contain 436 kcal of energy, 16 gm of total fat, 57 gm of total carbs, 11 gm of fiber, and 21 gm of protein. 

With a serving size of 40 grams, you’ll get about 8.4 grams of protein per serving, which is pretty good. The calorie count per serving is 175 kcal, and if you choose to mix it with milk and a fruit (like a medium-sized banana/apple), the total calorie range can be from 300 to 350 calories.

All in all, you’re getting a protein-rich breakfast that falls within the recommended 300 to 350-calorie range.

Do ask a certified nutritionist before making any drastic changes to your diet. 

Our Testing Process 

We tested these oats two ways: 

• Dry taste test
• In cold milk 

Taste 

First thing first, the chocolate flavor takes center stage here. It is very well-balanced and makes its presence felt in every bite. Unlike many other chocolate-flavored cereals that can end up tasting artificial, this one tasted completely natural and fresh.

All in all the chocolate flavor is extremely clean, which leaves your taste buds tantalizing and asking for more. 

The peanut butter, though present, has a subtle touch but adds a wonderful nutty depth to the overall flavor. It will certainly not overpower your taste palette but marries the chocolate flavor well.

This cereal is not sweetened with sugar, added sugars, or artificial sweeteners. This is a plus as it allows room to add in your favorite toppings (fruits, berries or nuts). 

However, we liked it just the way it was and didn’t feel the need to add any extra sweetener. You may add a natural sweetener like honey or maple if the need arises, but we strongly suggest you try it first with a fruit of your choice. 

Texture

It has a nice crunch to it, which we enjoyed. Even though the oats are not candied or do not include nuts/berries, the crunch is noteworthy. In fact, we loved the little clumps of oats in between that give a very muesli-like eating experience without the spoonfuls of sugar that are needed to clump them together.

Keeping in mind how crunchy these are, they would taste excellent as overnight oats.
