Compare the protein and energy in a weighed portion, then choose the flavour and pack that suit your coffee break. Flink lists 27 g of protein and 614 kcal per 100 g for Duyvis Unsalted Peanuts 235 g. Based on those figures, 25 g provides 6.75 g of protein and 153.5 kcal. This is a calculation example, not a complete post-workout meal, and the protein figure alone does not automatically make a product a verified ‘high-protein’ option.
You want to know how much a small portion of peanuts adds to your daily protein intake, without mistaking a coffee-break snack for a complete post-workout meal. Voedingscentrum says most people who do sport do not need special protein shakes or bars if they eat a varied diet.
You’re looking for a simple snack and want to choose the energy content of each portion carefully. Voedingscentrum uses 25 g as an example portion of unsalted peanuts; here, it’s a basis for calculation, not individual daily advice.

The amount of protein and energy changes with the portion size. Flink lists 27 g of protein and 614 kcal per 100 g for Duyvis Unsalted Peanuts 235 g; these figures do not automatically apply to other products.
Weigh your portion and calculate both protein and energy using the table on the pack you’re actually buying.

No, not automatically. Voedingscentrum says most people who do sport do not need special protein shakes or bars if they eat a varied diet. That doesn’t mean a portion of peanuts is a complete post-workout meal in itself; consider the snack as part of your overall diet.
No. A nutrition figure on its own does not confirm that a product meets the requirements for a nutrition claim. The European Commission says nutrition claims are only permitted under the applicable European rules, and the NVWA stresses that claims must comply with them. So check the specific claim and product information rather than relying only on the figure per 100 g.
No. In this guide, 25 g is simply a portion used for calculation; Voedingscentrum also uses this amount in its general calorie checker for unsalted peanuts. An example portion is not individual daily advice.
Read the allergen information on the exact pack. The NVWA requires clear allergen information on food labels, and Stichting Voedselallergie warns that even a tiny amount of peanut can cause severe reactions in some people. If you have a peanut allergy, peanuts are not a suitable snack.
