Celebrating FAHM with the Perfect Plant-Based Protein Fuel for Athletes

Celebrating FAHM with the Perfect Plant-Based Protein Fuel for Athletes

October is Filipino American History Month, a time to celebrate an important part of American history, identity, culture and stories that bridge two worlds. At Spread The Love Foods, that narrative is woven into every jar. As a Filipina American woman entrepreneur, I created this brand not just for health-conscious families, but for athletes who deserve clean, plant-based, high-protein fuel they can trust.

A Founder’s Promise: Crafted by One, For Many

Growing up Filipino American, food was never just fuel — it was culture, community, and love. But when I stepped into health, fitness and sports, I saw how many of my peers struggled with protein snacks that were loaded with fillers, seed oils, or fake “natural and healthy” claims.

That’s when Sports dietitian-approved Spread The Love nut butter packets were born: on-the-go nutrition, made with one clean ingredient, rigorously tested, and crafted in small batches. Because our bodies deserve better than shortcuts.

For athletes and active families, whether hooping, running, swinging, or lifting, our almond butter and peanut butter packets deliver protein fuel that’s clean, convenient, and satisfying.

Why Filipino American Athletes Deserve Spread The Love

📦 Spread The Love Packets: The Clean Protein Choice for Athletes

  • 🥜 One ingredient, no junk – Just premium peanuts or almonds. No palm oil, seed oils, added sugar, or preservatives.
  • 💪 Plant-based protein – Clean energy for workouts, recovery, and everyday strength.
  • 🥄 Ultra-creamy, drizzleable texture – Easy to mix into smoothies, oats, or spread on fruit.
  • 🚀 On-the-go convenience – Single-serve packets fit right in your gym bag, travel kit, or lunchbox.
  • ✅ Trusted by families and athletes alike – Rigorous testing for safety and freshness beyond industry standards.

Athletes don’t need mystery bars or powders. They need real food that works as hard as they do.

A Call to the Court, Field, and Gym

To my fellow Filipino American health enthusiasts and athletes - whether you’re training for your first 5K, hooping at rec league, or competing at the pro level, your fuel matters.

Don’t settle for spreads and snacks that hide junk ingredients behind “natural” claims. Choose Spread The Love almond butter and peanut butter packets: real, clean, plant-based protein made by a Filipina American founder, designed for families and athletes like you.

Keep Spreading the Love, 

Val Fishbain, Co-founder/President
