The journey began with us producing Choccy Nut Pots in our very own kitchen, trialling different ingredients and refining our process, making sure that our product remained healthy and full of natural ingredients. Even now, our overall operation is pretty small. It’s important to us that our product is produced locally to minimize our impact on the environment. The chocolate used in our pots is fair-trade and we are currently working with our suppliers to ensure that all our ingredients are responsibly sourced.
Our process...
We know that to take full control of our impact, we need to understand our process and continue to build positive relationships with our supply chain. We are committed to continually assessing the Life Cycle Assessment of our Choccy Nut Pots to see where improvements can be made. We wanted to keep it simple and for this reason, we have established 4 main steps in our production process, as shown below.

Our pots are made with 100% recycled paper. Not all of our pot packaging is recyclable with a small percentage being currently a non-recyclable plastic. Our Pots are lined with a polyethylene plastic-based coating, which until we find a suitable alternative, helps keep our Choccy Nut Pots safe and fresh as a chilled product.

Our pots are made with 100% recycled paper. Not all of our pot packaging is recyclable with a small percentage being currently a non-recyclable plastic. Our Pots are lined with a polyethylene plastic-based coating, which until we find a suitable alternative, helps keep our Choccy Nut Pots safe and fresh as a chilled product.
All our pots are delivered and shipped in a fully recyclable cardboard box and wrapped using reusable thermal packaging. This helps maintain the right temperature in transit for our pots, ready to be stacked up in your fridge. These thermal bags are perfect for storing your packed lunches and gym snacks.
The wooden spoon and supporting ring are both recyclable and should be washed and popped in your recycling bin.
For guidance on how to dispose of your pots, we advise that you check your local councils waste and recycling rules, which you can usually find on their website.

Where do we fit?
Nutrition
Our original pots are made using natural ingredients and are 90% plant based. The other 10% being Whey Protein – which is batch tested by our supplier. We also have a vegan option, which is 100% plant based. The new and updated WWF ‘Livewell Plates’ report (1) has identified the need for us, as humans, to increase focus on plant-based foods (or plant protein). Not only would this help us to reduce our carbon emissions, but it is widely accepted that a healthy diet, consisting of at least two thirds plant-based foods, is consistent with dietary recommendations and offers benefits for both our health and the planet (2).
What goes into our pots?
We have 7 main ingredients that go into our original pot.
Nuts, Dates, Seeds, Cacao Powder, Whey Protein Powder, Coconut Oil and Hazelnut Milk.
Key nutrients in our pots
Saturated fats: The recommended daily amount of saturated fat in adults aged 19-64 is 31 and 24grams in males and females (3), respectively. All our pots are low in saturated fat, making us a good alternative to other high street pots. The benefits of cutting down on saturated fat is that it can lower your blood cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease (2).
Protein: Protein is an important part of our diet and key to building and maintaining all types of body tissue, including muscle (4). Government guidelines recommend a daily intake of 45 and 55.5 grams in men and women aged 19-64 (3). The protein content of our Choccy Nut Pot original contributes to around 30-37% of the recommended daily amount and is significantly higher than other supermarket pots.
You can see a full list of our nutrient content below in Table 1.
You can see how our key nutrient content compares with a standard supermarket pot in the table below (Table 2).
