What’s the Deal with Protein Porridge?

If you’re not already on the protein porridge train, it’s time to hop aboard! Protein porridge is your classic bowl of oats, but with a powerful twist—extra protein. By adding protein bars like our “Wellbeing” Speculoos Bar, or even a scoop of your favourite protein powder, you’re turning a simple breakfast into a balanced meal that helps fuel your muscles, keeps you full, and gives you the energy you need to slay the day.

So, What Exactly Is Speculoos?

Let’s talk about the star of this porridge: Speculoos. This spiced shortcrust biscuit hails from Belgium, bringing with it a delightful mix of spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. The flavour is rich and warm, with just the right amount of sweetness—kind of like a cozy hug in cookie form. While traditionally enjoyed during the holiday season, Speculoos has become a year-round favorite, especially thanks to the spreadable version we all know and love.

Speculoos, Speculaas, Biscoff, and Spiced Biscuits: What’s the Difference?

You might have come across different names—Speculoos, Speculaas, Biscoff, spiced biscuits—and wondered, are they all the same thing? Well, yes and no.

• Speculoos: This is the Belgian version of the spiced biscuit, known for its deep caramel flavour and crunchy texture. Speculoos is what you’ll find in our “Wellbeing” Protein Bars, giving them that signature taste.
• Speculaas: Speculaas is the Dutch cousin to Speculoos, with a similar flavour profile but often a bit spicier and more robust, thanks to the use of additional spices. It’s a bit of a regional variation, but they’re quite similar.
• Biscoff: Biscoff is the brand name under which Lotus Bakeries sells Speculoos in many countries, particularly in the U.S. The name combines “biscuit” and “coffee,” and these cookies are often served as a sweet treat with a cup of coffee.
• Spiced Biscuits: This is a more general term that could apply to any biscuit made with a blend of spices like cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Speculoos and Speculaas are both specific types of spiced biscuits.
