Plant-Based Cereal & Snack FAQs

What types of snacks and cereals can PURIS protein be used in?

PURIS protein works in a variety of formats, including:

  • Puffed snacks
  • Baked chips
  • Protein crisps, clusters
  • Extruded cereals
  • Granola-style products
  • And more!
It’s compatible with both sweet and savory profiles.

Does PURIS protein impact taste or color in snack formulations?

No. PURIS protein has a neutral flavor and light color, making it ideal for applications where added protein shouldn’t alter the base taste or appearance — such as bars, chips, and breakfast cereals.

Can PURIS protein be used in high-protein snack bars?

Yes. PURIS protein can boost protein content in bars while maintaining a smooth, non-chalky texture. It blends well with syrups, nut butters, and binders without causing grittiness or hardening over shelf life.

Does PURIS pea protein work in dry mix or no-bake snack formats?

Yes. PURIS protein can be used in powders, dry blends, and no-bake formats like protein bites and instant oat cups. Its fine particle size and dispersibility reduce clumping and chalkiness.

What’s the recommended usage level in cereal and snack applications?

Typical inclusion rates range from 5%–30%, depending on format and nutrition targets. Higher rates are possible in extruded snacks and bars with proper binder systems.

Is PURIS protein suitable for clean-label or allergen-free snacks?

Yes. PURIS proteins are clean label, non-GMO, and top-9 allergen-free. They’re available in conventional and certified organic formats, and don’t require masking agents or stabilizers.

Does PURIS have other ingredients that work in extrusion?

Yes. PURIS Pea Starch is a great alternative to other common starches like tapioca. Plus, pea starch is more sustainable and has a more dependable supply chain than other common starch sources.

What is the shelf life of PURIS pea protein in finished products?

Shelf life depends on the final product format and processing, but PURIS pea protein is shelf-stable and performs well in products with typical ambient shelf lives. When stored in a cool, dry environment, the protein itself has a shelf life of up to 24 months.

Can I purchase PURIS Pea Crisps for home or in small bulk?

Yes! You can purchase PURIS Pea Protein Crisps in bags ranging from 1–40lbs.
