High protein foods have moved well beyond the gym bag. Whether you're tracking macros, eating more mindfully, or simply looking for snacks that do more than just fill a gap, protein foods give you a smarter way to eat. From baked protein cookies and flapjacks to crisps and nut butters, this range covers the full spectrum of everyday snacking — built around real protein content rather than empty calories.
Every product here is developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists to deliver serious protein content in formats you actually want to eat. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1 and the maintenance of normal bones2, making these foods a practical addition to any diet — not just an athlete's.
Who Protein Foods Are For
These products are built for anyone who wants more from their food. Gym-goers and active people will find them a convenient way to hit daily protein targets without turning to shakes alone. Runners, cyclists, and anyone training regularly will appreciate having high protein snacks that travel well — bars, crisps, and cookies that fit into a kit bag as easily as a pocket.
You don't need a training programme to get value from protein foods. Office workers looking to avoid the afternoon snack spiral, people managing their nutrition on busy schedules, and anyone who simply wants healthier alternatives to standard snack options will find something here. The range is broad enough — 20 products across formats from flapjacks to wafers to granola — that there's a realistic daily use case for most people.
When to Use Protein Foods
Timing is flexible by design. Most of these products work as mid-morning or afternoon snacks, slotting naturally into the gaps where lower-quality options tend to creep in. A protein flapjack or baked brownie before or after training gives you something substantial without requiring prep or planning.
Post-workout is a popular moment to reach for protein foods — many people pair a high-protein snack with their cool-down routine as part of a consistent nutrition habit. But equally, starting the day with protein granola or adding powdered peanut butter to breakfast sets a strong nutritional foundation before the day gets in the way.
Protein Foods Benefits
Real Protein, Recognisable Food
These aren't supplements dressed up as snacks. Products like the Oat Protein Flapjack deliver 20g of protein per bar in a format that genuinely tastes like food — because it is. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1, and getting there through everyday eating rather than powders alone makes the habit far easier to sustain.
A Format for Every Moment
The range spans everything from Popped Protein Crisps (baked, not fried, and under 100 calories) to rich Choc Nut Butter and Protein Granola. Whether you want something savoury, sweet, crunchy, or creamy, there's a protein food here that fits the moment rather than forcing compromise.
Smarter Snacking Without the Overthinking
Choosing high protein snacks over standard options doesn't require a detailed nutrition strategy. These products are straightforward swaps — same convenience, better nutritional profile.

FAQs
What are high protein foods?
High protein foods are everyday food products formulated to deliver a meaningful amount of protein per serving — typically well above what you'd get from a standard snack. In this range, that means cookies, bars, crisps, nut butters, granola, and more, all built around higher protein content. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1, making these a practical choice for anyone looking to eat more intentionally without switching entirely to shakes or supplements.
What high protein snacks are available?
There are 20 products in this range spanning a wide variety of formats. Options include the Oat Protein Flapjack, Popped Protein Crisps, Baked Protein Cookie, Extra Protein Cookie, Crispy Protein Wafer, Filled Protein Wafer, Protein Pancake Mix, Protein Granola, Pop Roll Protein Snack, and the Baked Brownie — among others. Nut butters like All-Natural Peanut Butter, All-Natural Almond Butter, Choc Nut Butter, and Powdered Peanut Butter round out the range for those who prefer something more versatile.
What's a good high protein snack for on the go?
Popped Protein Crisps are a strong option — baked not fried, under 100 calories, and easy to carry anywhere. For something more substantial, the Oat Protein Flapjack delivers 20g of protein per bar in a format that holds up well in a bag. Both are ready to eat straight from the packet, with no prep required.
Are these protein foods suitable as everyday snacks, not just for the gym?
Absolutely — these are designed as real food products, not gym-only supplements. Whether you're at your desk, commuting, or just looking for something between meals, the range covers formats that work in everyday life. From protein granola at breakfast to nut butters as a mid-afternoon option, they're built for regular eating rather than reserved for post-workout moments only.

Every product in this range is developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists. Their focus is on delivering meaningful protein content across genuinely enjoyable food formats — getting the nutritional profile right without sacrificing taste or convenience.
How much protein do these snacks typically contain?
Protein content varies by product and format. The Oat Protein Flapjack, for example, contains 20g of protein per bar — a substantial amount for a single snack. Crisps, cookies, and wafers tend to offer more moderate protein levels suited to lighter snacking occasions. Checking the individual product pages gives you the precise macros for each option.
Can I use protein foods to hit my daily protein targets?
Many people use this range as part of a broader approach to reaching their daily protein intake. Rather than relying solely on meals or protein shakes, swapping standard snacks for protein-rich alternatives across the day adds up meaningfully. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass1 and normal bones2, and consistent daily intake matters more than any single source or timing.
Are there healthy protein snacks available that are lower in calories?
Popped Protein Crisps come in at under 100 calories per serving and are baked rather than fried, making them one of the lighter options in the range. All-Natural Peanut Butter and Powdered Peanut Butter are also worth considering — both offer protein content in a natural, minimal-ingredient format that works across a variety of uses.
