After 6 years of relentless research, perfecting the NiHPRO® platform and creating the world’s first Protein For EveryBODY™, NiHTEK® has pioneered an entirely new protein category — a third category beyond dairy and plant. Now, after an additional year of focused innovation, we proudly introduce NiHPRO®Puffs. This breakthrough combines the highest protein purity in a puff with a light, crunchy texture and neutral flavor, all while being 100% dairy-free, soy-free, and lactose-free.
NiHPRO®Puffs leverage an all-new process built upon the legacy of NiHPRO®Core, delivering sensory performance and protein quality never seen before in the puff category. These puffs are also uniquely rich in performance aminos — offering equal leucine content to WPI (Whey Protein Isolate) and up to 4x the naturally occurring L-Arginine for enhanced muscle pump and recovery.
The Full NiHPRO®Family: Protein Solutions Across Every Format
NiHPRO®Puffs are the newest member of the NiHPRO®Family — a portfolio of branded protein ingredients scientifically engineered for modern nutrition. With NiHPRO®Core for powdered applications, NiHPRO®Bev for clinical and functional beverages, and now NiHPRO®Puffs for snack foods, bars, and cereals, NiHTEK® offers a complete solution for formulating high-protein, allergen-free products across all consumer formats.
Scientifically Engineered for Performance & Digestibility
Leveraging over 6 years of research and building upon the success of NiHPRO®Core, NiHPRO®Puffs were forged as the world’s first Protein For EveryBODY™ — combining clinical-grade digestibility with clean sensory performance. This advanced formulation delivers:
- Clean flavor with no bitterness or off-notes
- Improved amino acid absorption
- Light, airy texture without bloating
The result is a high-functioning protein puff that performs across nutrition, taste, and versatility — the new gold standard in non-dairy protein innovation.
