For a 25 g serving, the Duyvis unsalted peanuts reviewed provide 6.75 g of protein; AH and PLUS each provide 6.25 g. This difference is no proof of better recovery: when choosing a snack for school, put allergens, safe eating and any school policies first, and treat nuts as an addition to a varied diet when it comes to sport. The nutritional values listed do not, on their own, confirm that a product meets the requirements for a ‘high-protein’ claim.
You’re looking for a practical source of protein around school and training. Compare the nutritional value of a serving with what you actually eat; more protein does not automatically mean better recovery. The product values are from Flink, Albert Heijn and PLUS.
You want to pack something that takes account of allergies, safe eating and school policies. Older children can choke on whole nuts too; Amsterdam UMC advises eating calmly at the table and staying with them. Not every school automatically has a nut-free classroom.
You match pack sizes and portions to the number of school days and follow the storage instructions. AH lists 25 g servings for its unsalted peanuts and advises sealing the pack tightly after opening.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per serving | Compare protein values for the same weight. A 25 g serving is an example for calculation purposes, not dietary advice. | When I choose a snack for school and sport, I want to know how much protein my serving actually provides. Around 36% of consumers say protein content is their top priority. |
| Allergens and safe eating | Check the ingredients and warnings on the packaging, and ask the school about any policies. | When I need to take an allergy, safe eating or a school policy into account, that comes before nutritional value. Around 29% of consumers put school safety first. |
| Composition | Check the salt, energy and ingredients for the exact variety, not just the front of the pack. | If I’m using a product regularly, I want to assess its composition alongside its protein content. Around 21% of consumers say everyday composition is their top priority. |
| Portions and supplies | Compare pack weights and serving sizes, and follow the storage instructions. A larger pack does not, by itself, prove that it costs less. | When I’m shopping for several school days, I want to match portions and supplies to what we use. Around 14% of consumers put planning and cost first. |
A nutritional value per 100 g is not the amount of protein in a smaller serving. For the unsalted peanuts reviewed, a 25 g serving provides 6.25 to 6.75 g of protein.
Compare products using the same serving weight, and don’t automatically treat the example serving as dietary advice for every child.
A nutritional value, a nutrition claim and a health claim are different things. The product name does not prove that it helps you recover faster.
Compare the nutritional information and consider your overall diet; don’t infer a recovery benefit from the name on the pack.
The AH and PLUS peanuts reviewed contain peanuts and may contain tree nuts. Switching between these products does not remove the peanut allergen.
Check the allergen information on the current packaging and, if you have a known food allergy, follow your individual medical advice.
Pack sizes vary. If the quantity doesn’t suit how you’ll use it, some of the product may go unused.
Work out how much you need in advance and follow the product’s specific storage instructions.

You can’t tell from the salt information.

The Voedingscentrum stresses that label information is important if you have a food allergy.

Such a warning is not the same as an ingredient deliberately included in the product; read both statements on the packaging.
