Protein foods are one of the smartest ways to hit your daily protein targets without relying solely on shakes or supplements. Whether you're reaching for a mid-morning snack or something to tide you over between meals, high protein foods give you real, satisfying options that actually fit into everyday life. From baked goods to crisps, the range spans everything from breakfast to dessert — with the protein numbers to back it up.
Myprotein's protein foods range covers 15 products, each developed by expert nutritionists to pack meaningful protein into formats you'll actually enjoy eating. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1, so whether you're training seriously or simply trying to eat better, these foods make it easier to stay consistent without compromise.
Who Protein Foods Are For
Anyone looking to eat more protein without resorting to plain chicken and eggs every day will find something here. These products are designed for people who want high protein snacks and meals that genuinely taste good — not foods that feel like a chore. If you're the kind of person who struggles to hit protein targets on busy days, having a Protein Brownie or a bag of Popped Protein Crisps to hand makes staying on track a lot more realistic.
Gym-goers, office workers, students, weekend athletes — this range isn't exclusive to any one type. If you're active and eating with intention, or just trying to make smarter food choices throughout the day, protein foods slot into your routine without demanding a lifestyle overhaul.
When to Use Protein Foods
The beauty of protein foods is their flexibility. Mid-morning hunger, post-gym refuelling, or an afternoon slump — these are the moments where a high protein snack earns its place. Products like the Protein Brownie (23g protein per bar) are particularly well-suited to the gap between meals when you need something more substantial than a piece of fruit.
Protein foods also work well as part of a structured eating plan. Swap a low-protein breakfast for the Protein Pancake Mix, or build a higher-protein lunch around the Protein Granola. The range is broad enough to cover most occasions throughout the day, which makes maintaining protein intake far less complicated.

FAQs
What are high protein foods?
High protein foods are everyday food products formulated to deliver significantly more protein per serving than their standard counterparts. Rather than relying purely on whole food sources like meat or eggs, high protein snacks and foods — like protein bars, cookies, granola, and crisps — are developed to make hitting daily protein targets more convenient and varied. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1 and the maintenance of normal bones2, making protein-rich food a practical part of any balanced diet.
What protein foods are available at Myprotein?
The range covers 15 products across a wide variety of formats, including protein brownies, baked cookies, granola, pancake mix, wafers, crisps, and peanut butter. There's something for every time of day — from breakfast options through to evening snacks. The breadth of the range means you're not locked into any single format, which makes eating more protein feel far less repetitive.
What are the best high protein snacks for on the go?
The Protein Brownie is one of the most popular choices for on-the-go eating — it delivers at least 23g of protein per bar and needs no prep whatsoever. The Popped Protein Crisps are another strong option, coming in under 100 calories and baked rather than fried, making them a lighter snack that still adds to your daily protein intake. Both are designed to be portable and practical.
How do protein foods differ from protein supplements?
Protein supplements — like powders and capsules — are concentrated sources of protein designed primarily to meet nutritional targets. Protein foods, by contrast, are fully formed food products: snacks, baked goods, and meals that you'd eat anyway, but reformulated to carry a higher protein load. They're less about supplementation and more about making everyday food choices work harder nutritionally.
Are protein snacks suitable for people who don't go to the gym?
Protein snacks aren't exclusively for gym-goers. Anyone who wants to eat more protein as part of a balanced diet — whether they train regularly or not — can benefit from including high protein snacks in their routine. They're particularly useful for people who struggle to get enough protein through standard meals, or who want a more filling snack option throughout the day.
Who develops Myprotein's protein food products?
Myprotein's protein food products are developed by the brand's expert nutritionists, who work to create recipes that balance strong macro profiles with genuine taste. Every product in the range is formulated with both nutrition and enjoyment in mind, so you're not having to choose between eating well and eating something you actually want.
How much protein should I be getting from food each day?
Individual protein needs vary depending on body weight, activity level, and goals — but general guidance for active adults typically points to anywhere between 1.2g and 2.0g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Protein foods can help close the gap between what you get from whole food sources and what your daily targets require, without adding unnecessary complexity to your diet.
Can protein foods replace a meal?
Most products in the protein foods range are designed as snacks or meal components rather than full meal replacements. A Protein Brownie or a serving of Protein Granola works well as part of a broader meal plan, but for a complete meal replacement, you'd want to pair them with other food sources. That said, products like the Protein Pancake Mix can form the basis of a solid, protein-forward breakfast when prepared as directed.
Are Myprotein protein foods suitable for vegetarians?
Many products in the protein foods range are suitable for vegetarians, though formulations vary by product. The All-Natural Peanut Butter and Protein Granola, for example, are plant-based in their primary ingredients. Always check the individual product page for full ingredient and suitability information, as recipes can differ across the range.
What's the difference between protein foods and standard snacks?
Standard snacks tend to be calorie-dense but low in protein, which means they don't contribute much to daily protein targets. Protein foods are formulated specifically to flip that balance — delivering meaningful protein per serving while keeping the format enjoyable and convenient. For anyone tracking macros or simply trying to eat more intentionally, protein snacks are a straightforward swap for their lower-protein equivalents.
