Nuts n More

Nuts N More makes high-protein nut butter spreads aimed at fitness-minded shoppers who want a healthier alternative to sugary peanut butter. The spreads are fortified with added protein and lower in sugar, with flavors built for people who track their macros. The Rhode Island team behind it, including Peter Ferreira, Dennis Iannotti, and Neil Cameron, came from a fitness and nutrition background and built the brand around the gym crowd.

The founders asked for 250,000 dollars for a 20 percent stake. The pitch landed because the protein and clean-eating market was booming, and the product tasted good enough to win over the panel during the tasting. Mark Cuban and Robert Herjavec both liked it and teamed up to invest, putting in the requested money for a larger combined share of the company, which the founders accepted.

Nuts N More stood out by riding the protein and fitness wave at the right moment, with a product the sharks could literally taste and react to on camera. Having two sharks on board, including Mark Cuban, gave the brand credibility and connections in the supplement and health food world, which is exactly where the product needed to land.

Sales climbed quickly after the episode, reportedly reaching the million dollar mark within months. With shark backing, the brand expanded into national retail, including thousands of nutrition store locations and health-focused grocery chains, growing from a small operation into a recognizable name on the high-protein shelf.

Nuts N More is still in business in 2026. The product line has broadened well beyond the original spreads to include things like flavored peanut and almond butters, snack items, and other high-protein products. The brand continues to sell through its own website and various retail and online channels aimed at the fitness and clean-eating market.
