What Is STOKE?
STOKE is a multi-nut & seed butter formulated to maximize nutrient density through whole-food sources. STOKE’s key advantage is deriving its comprehensive nutrient profile from whole-food ingredients, delivering vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds within their natural food matrices to support bioavailability and absorption. STOKE was created by two pro runners who were unsatisfied with the limited nutritional profile of their pre-run peanut butter and wanted to create a more nutritionally comprehensive alternative.
Why STOKE?
STOKE was created with a simple goal: make genuinely nourishing food using nutrient-dense, whole food ingredients, and let the nutrition speak for itself.
Instead of chasing trends, using buzzwords, or making bold promises built on thin science, STOKE is built around nutritional fundamentals. Each formula is built from a diverse combination of nuts, seeds, and other complementary whole foods to create a naturally broad nutrient profile of vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds delivered in the forms they occur in food.
Because the nutrients in STOKE come directly from whole foods, they exist within their natural food matrices alongside fats, fibers, bioactive compounds, and cofactors that influence digestion and absorption. That context matters. It’s how the body is designed to recognize and use nutrients.
The goal of STOKE isn’t to promise miracles or quick fixes. It’s simply to create well-formulated, highly nutrient-dense products made from whole food ingredients, designed for people who care about what they eat and why it matters.
No Synthetic Ingredients. No Isolates. No Gimmicks.
Just Real Food, Thoughtfully Formulated.
Cashews
High in copper and iron to support energy and blood health, magnesium to support muscle function and recovery, manganese to support bone health, polyphenols and carotenoids which serve as antioxidants and support anti-inflammatory effects, and protein.
Brazil Nuts
High in selenium to support proper thyroid function and energy metabolism, zinc to support immune function, magnesium, and copper. Brazil Nuts have also been shown to increase glutathione peroxidase which helps reduce inflammation.
Almonds
High in vitamin E to help protect cells from oxidative damage, magnesium, polyphenols, iron, and protein. Almonds also contain quercetin which have been shown to clear senescent cells and fight inflammation.
Pumpkin Seeds
Contain Vitamin E, magnesium, zinc, copper, and iron. Pumpkin seeds also contain carotenoids that have antioxidant properties and have been shown to fight inflammation.
Chia Seeds
Contain Chlorogenic acid (an antioxidant that may lower blood pressure), Caffeic Acid to help reduce inflammation, Kaempferol (an antioxidant), Quercetin, ALA omega 3, magnesium, and protein. Chia Seeds have also been shown to help reduce inflammation marker hs-CRP.
Sunflower Seeds
High in vitamin E and selenium as well as phenolic acids and flavonoids which have antioxidant properties and have been shown to fight inflammation.
Tart Cherries
Loaded with antioxidants, electrolytes, and anti-inflammatory compounds. The Anthocyanins and phenolic acids in Tart Cherries increase blood flow and the production of Nitric Acid, both of which have been shown to improve cardiovascular output. These compounds also reduce exercise-induced inflammation and oxidative stress, speeding up muscle recovery. Natural melatonin in tart cherries enhances sleep efficiency and duration, critical for overnight repair. Potassium and magnesium restore electrolyte balance lost through sweat, supporting optimal muscle function and reducing cramping.
Turmeric
Contains a compound named curcumin which has been shown to have powerful anti-imflammatory effects, boost brain derived neurotropic factor (a protein shown to support attention, learning, and memory, and fight against depression and Alzheimer’s disease in the brain), support cardiovascular health, and increase the antioxidant capacity of the body. Turmeric comes in numerous varieties. Madras turmeric is the most widely distributed variety of turmeric and contains a curcumin percentage of roughly 3%. STOKE contains Alleppey turmeric, a less common variety of turmeric with a curcumin percentage of roughly 5%.
Egg Yolk Powder
Egg yolks are rich in choline for neuromuscular signaling, vitamin A for vision, and B12 for red blood cell production. They provide lutein and zeaxanthin to protect against exercise-induced oxidative stress in the eyes. Yolks contain dietary cholesterol that may raise HDL and shift LDL to a larger, less atherogenic subtype, supporting cardiovascular health. The Omega-3 in egg yolks lowers triglycerides, aiding metabolic efficiency.
Pecans
Good source of copper, Thiamine (Vitamin B1), and zinc. Pecans are also high in monounsaturated fatty acids which have been linked to proper heart health.
Nutritional Yeast
High in B vitamins which support energy production and blood health, molybdenum which supports the processing of waste products and toxins, manganese which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, zinc, and selenium. Nutritional yeast also contains two powerful antioxidants: glutathione and selenomethionine.
Cinnamon
Contains iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and polyphenols. Cinnamon also contains E-cinnamaldehyde and o-methoxycinnamaldehyde which are compounds linked to reducing inflammation.
Beef Tallow
Rich in beneficial saturated and monounsaturated fats that provide steady, long-lasting energy to fuel both body and mind. Contains stearic acid, which supports healthy metabolism, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has been linked to improved body composition and reduced inflammation. Along with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, these nutrients play key roles in hormone balance, endurance, recovery, and cognitive performance.
Pink Himalayan Salt
Pink Himalayan salt is an unrefined form of sodium chloride containing trace elements such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, and iron. These minerals are essential cofactors in physiological processes relevant to athletic performance, including osmotic regulation, nerve conduction, and skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling.
Honey
Rapid source of glucose and fructose, supporting glycogen replenishment and sustained energy during prolonged exercise. Rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, honey exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties that have been shown to reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress, enhance immune defense, and promote tissue repair. Its low-to-moderate glycemic response makes it a functional carbohydrate option for endurance athletes.
