High protein snacks that actually taste good — that's the idea behind this range. Whether you're reaching for something between meals, packing a gym bag, or just want a smarter alternative to the usual snack aisle, there's a format here that fits. From fudgy brownies to crunchy wafers, every product is built around real protein content without sacrificing the kind of flavour that makes snacking worth it.
The range covers over a dozen different formats — bars, cookies, crisps, granola, pancake mix, and more — so there's no shortage of variety. Protein content varies by product, with some options packing over 20g per serving. These are snacks designed to sit comfortably alongside a training routine or an active lifestyle, without the compromise of chalky textures or overly artificial flavours.
Who Protein Snacks Are For
Anyone who trains regularly and wants their between-meal eating to work a bit harder. If you're hitting the gym, running, cycling, or doing any kind of structured exercise, protein snacks give you a convenient way to keep your daily protein intake consistent — especially on days when sitting down to a full meal isn't always realistic. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1, so having a portable, high-protein option on hand makes a difference.
That said, you don't need to be deep into a training programme to enjoy these. Anyone looking to move away from lower-nutrient snack options will find something here. The range is varied enough to suit different preferences — those who want something indulgent-tasting alongside those who prefer lighter formats like crisps or wafers.
When to Use Protein Snacks
The most common time is between meals — mid-morning or mid-afternoon, when hunger starts to creep in before the next proper meal. Having a protein snack bar or cookie to hand during that window means you're reaching for something with genuine nutritional substance rather than the nearest vending machine option. They're also a practical pre-gym snack when you want something light but not nothing at all.
Post-workout is another popular window. Many people find solid food more manageable than a shake immediately after training, and something like a brownie or a layered bar fits that need well. They're equally useful for travel, long commutes, or any situation where meal timing goes out the window — compact, no prep required, and easy to throw in a bag.
Protein Snacks Benefits
Serious Protein in a Snack-Sized Format
These aren't token amounts of protein tucked into a biscuit. The Protein Brownie delivers at least 23g of protein per brownie — a meaningful contribution toward daily intake in a format that takes seconds to eat. Across the range, protein content is a genuine priority, not an afterthought. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass1 and normal bones2, making these a practical everyday choice for active people.
Variety That Doesn't Get Boring
With over a dozen formats available — bars, cookies, wafers, granola, crisps, pancake mix — there's enough variety to rotate through without repeating the same thing every day. Different textures, different flavour profiles, different occasions. That range makes it easier to stay consistent with higher protein eating without hitting flavour fatigue.
Convenience Without the Trade-Off
Each product is ready to eat straight from the pack — no mixing, no prep, no refrigeration needed. That convenience is part of the design. Whether you're at a desk, at the gym, or on the move, these snacks work around your schedule rather than requiring you to plan around them.
Flavours Worth Looking Forward To
The range is built on the idea that a protein snack shouldn't feel like a compromise. Formats like the Myprotein Layered Bar layer up six distinct textures and flavours in a single bar, while the Gooey Filled Protein Cookie is exactly what it sounds like. The goal is snacks that genuinely compete with mainstream options on taste — not just on nutrition labels.
Popular Picks
Protein Brownie — If you want a proper chocolate treat that pulls its weight, the Protein Brownie delivers 23g of protein per bar made with real chocolate chunks — snack sorted.
Myprotein Layered Bar — The Layered Bar stacks six layers of taste and texture into 20g of protein with less than half a teaspoon of sugar, making it the go-to when you want something that actually feels indulgent.
Filled Protein Wafer — At just 133 calories a roll, the Filled Protein Wafer is the lighter option that still brings real flavour and 4.8g of protein to every bite.
FAQs
What are high protein snacks?
High protein snacks are food products formulated to deliver a meaningful amount of protein per serving — typically 10g or more — in a convenient, ready-to-eat format. They come in formats like bars, cookies, brownies, crisps, and wafers, and are designed for people who want to keep their protein intake consistent throughout the day without relying solely on main meals. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1.
What protein snacks are available at Myprotein?
The range includes over a dozen different formats: the Protein Brownie, Myprotein Layered Bar, Filled Protein Wafer, Baked Protein Cookie, Gooey Filled Protein Cookie, All-Natural Peanut Butter, Powdered Peanut Butter, Protein Granola, Popped Protein Crisps, Protein Pancake Mix, Vegan Carb Crusher Protein Bar, Double Dough Protein Brownie, and Layered Protein Bar. There's a format to suit most tastes and occasions, from indulgent bakes to lighter crisp-style snacks.
What are the best protein snacks for on the go?
Individually wrapped, no-fridge-needed formats are the most practical for on-the-go use. The Protein Brownie is a strong option here — it packs at least 23g of protein per brownie in a compact, portable format that travels well. The Myprotein Layered Bar is another solid pick, offering 20g of protein across six layers of flavour and texture in a single bar that fits easily into a bag or pocket.
How much protein is in a protein snack bar?
Protein content varies across the range. The Myprotein Layered Bar contains 20g of protein per bar, while the Protein Brownie delivers at least 23g per serving. Lighter formats like the Filled Protein Wafer provide around 4.8g per bar — useful as a lighter snack option rather than a primary protein source. Check the individual product pages for precise figures per serving.
Are there vegan protein snack options?
The Vegan Carb Crusher Protein Bar is specifically formulated for plant-based eaters, making it a straightforward choice for anyone following a vegan diet who still wants a convenient, protein-rich snack. The range also includes All-Natural Peanut Butter and Powdered Peanut Butter, which are naturally plant-based and versatile enough to use across a variety of meals and snacks.
When is the best time to eat protein snacks?
Protein snacks fit naturally into gaps between main meals — mid-morning and mid-afternoon are the most common windows. They're also a practical option around training, either as a light pre-gym snack or as something more substantial after a session when a shake isn't what you're after. The compact, ready-to-eat formats mean timing is flexible — they work whenever a regular meal isn't available or practical.
Who developed the protein snacks range?
The protein snacks range was developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists, who designed each product to balance genuine nutritional content with flavours and textures that make them worth reaching for. The focus throughout is on real protein quantities delivered in formats that are practical for everyday use — not products that look good on a label but fall short on taste or convenience.
How do protein snacks differ from regular snacks?
Standard snacks are typically built around carbohydrates and fats with minimal protein. Protein snacks are specifically formulated to lead with protein content, often using whey, casein, or plant-based protein sources as the primary ingredient. The result is a snack that provides a more complete macronutrient profile per serving. Formats like brownies, cookies, and crisps in this range are designed to mirror familiar snack experiences while delivering substantially more protein than their mainstream equivalents.
Can protein snacks replace a meal?
Protein snacks are designed as between-meal options rather than full meal replacements. A product like the Protein Brownie or a layered bar is nutritionally substantial for a snack, but a balanced meal provides a broader range of nutrients, fibre, and total calories that a snack format isn't intended to replicate. For anyone using snacks to manage their intake around a structured diet, they work best as a complement to regular meals rather than a substitute.
Are protein snacks suitable for everyday eating?
These are everyday snacks, not occasional treats — that's how the range is designed. The variety of formats means you can rotate across different textures and flavours throughout the week without repetition becoming an issue. Whether it's granola at breakfast, a wafer mid-morning, or a brownie after training, the range is built to fit into a regular routine rather than just filling a single niche.
