Choose a pack with individual portions if you want to take a measured topping with you after exercise; if you prefer to portion it yourself at home, a larger pack is another option. Use chocolate sprinkles as an addition to your snack or meal, not as a replacement for it. Voedingscentrum recommends having a regular meal containing carbohydrates and protein after exercise.
Would you like to sprinkle some chocolate sprinkles over yoghurt, porridge or bread after exercise, without measuring them out of a large pack? The individual portions in De Ruijter Kleintjes and Jumbo Strooi Mini's show you how much is in each sachet.

A mix of chocolate sprinkles and flakes can contain different ingredients depending on the variety. So check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you buy, especially if you need to avoid particular ingredients.
First decide whether you need individual portions or would rather measure them out yourself. Then consider how the chocolate sprinkles fit with the snack or meal you plan to have after exercise.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Set portion size | The number of individual sachets and the weight of each one; portions are not necessarily all the same weight. | If I want a small topping without weighing it myself, I prefer an individual sachet. A set portion size is the main priority for around 42% of consumers. |
| The rest of the snack | What you eat alongside the chocolate sprinkles and how much you add. | After exercise, I want chocolate sprinkles to remain an addition to my meal or snack, rather than making up the whole eating occasion. This combination matters most to around 42% of consumers. |
| Taking them with you and buying them | Whether the portion pack is available when you need it and whether individual sachets suit use away from home. | When I’m out and about, I want to be able to take a sachet with me without putting a large pack in my bag. For around 16% of consumers, this practical consideration comes first. |
A small sachet controls how much chocolate sprinkle you have, but it doesn’t determine what else you eat. Voedingscentrum recommends having a regular meal containing carbohydrates and protein after exercise.
