Nutrition & Ingredients FAQ
All nutritional label information and a list of ingredients can be found on our Product Page
We use a blend wheat protein isolate, whey protein isolate and pea protein that is high heat resistant to provide a more ideal texture for our cooked product.
Most of the carbohydrates found in our muffin mix are considered to be non-impact carbohydrates and are made up from insoluble fiber (which has 0 caloric value and passes through the gastrointestinal tract) and erythritol/stevia/monk fruit extract (which the FDA does not consider to be a total or added sugar for nutritional labeling and contains 0.2 kcal per gram)
Because they have 0 caloric value they’re subtracted from the amount of total carbohydrates to get a value of “net carbs,” which you can think of as the active carbs that affect your body and blood sugar.
So to calculate. Net Carbs = Total Carbohydrates - (Fiber + Sugar Alcohol)
So our calories are accurate and up to date with the most recent FDA guidelines for calculating macronutrients.
While some people do count total carbs this isn’t how the FDA guidelines are set up for non-impact carbohydrates.Most of the carbohydrates found in our muffin mix are considered to be non-impact carbohydrates and are made up from insoluble fiber (which has 0 caloric value and passes through the gastrointestinal tract) and erythritol/stevia/monk fruit extract (which the FDA does not consider to be a total or added sugar for nutritional labeling and contains 0.2 kcal per gram)
Whether it's a can of beans or a pint of low calorie ice cream you can see examples of other food manufacturers using the latest FDA nutrition labeling guidelines on any other food product containing insoluble fiber or low calorie sugar substitutes such as sugar alcohols.
For example, 1 cup of our Double Chocolate muffin mix contains 25g of protein, 7g of fat and
7g net/impact carbs (33g total carbs - 16g Fiber - 10g of Erythritol/Stevia/Monk Fruit)
25g of protein x 4 = 100 calories
7g net carbs x 4 = 28 calories
7g fat x 9 = 63 calories
10g of erythritol/stevia/monk fruit x .2 = 5 calories
This brings our total to 196 calories but because FDA nutritional labeling guidelines dictate that caloric amounts on nutrition labels must be in increments 5 or 10 we round up to 200 calories.
Actually, Erythritol is a natural occuring sweetener.
Fermented from sugars and found in many vegetables and fruit.It is considered to be one of the healthiest sugar alcohols because it's calorie-free, doesn't raise blood sugar levels, and passes through the digestive tract without getting absorbed into the body.
After the fruit or vegetable is fermented to create this sugar alcohol, it is dried into a granular powder to create erythritol.
Unfortunately, we are no longer gluten free. We used to be but the texture would come out more "sandy" and it was rather expensive.
That being said, we'd love to make gluten free flavors again in the future. Please let us know which ones you'd like to see here
No our muffins aren't vegan friendly but we'd love to make some vegan flavors in the future. Please let us know which ones you'd like to see here
Sadly, no. Our product isn't kosher certified.
Most of our flavors are nut free. The only two that aren’t nut free are Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Peanut Butter.
That being said, all of our flavors are manufactured on the same equipment as the peanut flavors. We wash, sanitize and rinse our equipment in between batches.
Out of safety, if you have a severe peanut or nut allergy we do not recommend consuming our products
