When you're working towards fitness goals, getting enough protein throughout the day can be a challenge. High protein foods offer a convenient way to increase your protein intake without the need for constant meal prep. From protein-packed snacks to convenient on-the-go options, these products fit seamlessly into busy lifestyles.

Our range of protein foods includes everything from protein brownies and cookies to savoury snacks and breakfast options. Each product is designed to deliver quality protein in formats that actually taste good, making it easier to hit your daily protein targets without sacrificing flavour or convenience.

Who Should Try These

Protein foods work well for anyone looking to increase their protein intake in a practical way. Whether you're an athlete needing portable nutrition between training sessions, an office worker seeking a better desk snack, or someone who struggles to eat enough protein through regular meals alone, these products offer flexible solutions.

They're particularly useful for people with demanding schedules who can't always prepare protein-rich meals. Having protein snacks readily available means you can maintain consistent protein intake throughout the day, regardless of what your schedule throws at you.

When to Use Protein Foods

The beauty of protein foods lies in their versatility. Many people use them as post-workout snacks, keeping a protein brownie or cookie in their gym bag for after training. Others rely on them as mid-morning or mid-afternoon snacks to bridge the gap between main meals and avoid reaching for less nutritious options.

They're equally useful as convenient breakfast options on rushed mornings, late-night snacks that contribute to your daily protein goals, or travel-friendly nutrition when you're away from home. Because they're shelf-stable and portable, you can keep them in your desk drawer, car, or backpack for whenever hunger strikes.

FAQs

What exactly are high protein foods?

High protein foods are convenient snack and meal options that have been specifically formulated to contain significantly more protein than standard versions. These include protein brownies, cookies, bars, wafers, and other formats that deliver anywhere from 10g to over 20g of protein per serving, making them practical tools for increasing daily protein intake without extensive meal preparation.

How do protein foods compare to protein shakes?

Protein foods offer solid, chewable nutrition rather than liquid supplements. Whilst protein shakes require mixing and drinking immediately, protein foods are shelf-stable, require no preparation, and provide a more satisfying eating experience for many people.

Both deliver quality protein, but protein foods work better for situations where you want something to eat rather than drink, or when you don't have access to a shaker and water. They're complementary approaches rather than competing options.

Who developed Myprotein's protein food range?

Myprotein's expert nutritionists developed these protein foods, combining sports nutrition knowledge with food science to create products that deliver on both taste and macros. Each product goes through rigorous testing to ensure it meets quality standards whilst remaining genuinely enjoyable to eat.

When's the best time to eat protein foods?

There's no single ”best” time - it depends on your schedule and goals. Many people use them post-workout for convenient nutrition, as mid-meal snacks to maintain protein intake throughout the day, or as quick breakfast options when time is tight.

The key is fitting them into your routine wherever you need convenient protein. Some keep them at their desk for afternoon energy, others pack them for travel, and many use them as evening snacks that contribute to daily protein targets.

How much protein do these foods typically contain?

Protein content varies by product format. Protein brownies and cookies typically deliver 15-23g of protein per serving, whilst protein wafers and lighter snacks usually contain 8-12g. Protein bars often sit in the 18-21g range, providing substantial protein in a compact format.

Can protein foods replace meals?

Whilst protein foods provide significant protein, they're designed as snacks and convenient protein sources rather than complete meal replacements. They work brilliantly for supplementing your diet and increasing protein intake between meals, but shouldn't be your sole source of nutrition throughout the day.

Do protein foods need to be refrigerated?

Most protein foods are shelf-stable and don't require refrigeration, making them genuinely portable. You can keep them in your gym bag, desk drawer, or car without worrying about spoilage. This convenience is one of their main advantages over meal prep or fresh food options.

What's the difference between protein brownies and regular brownies?

Protein brownies are formulated to deliver 20g or more of protein per serving whilst maintaining a brownie-like texture and taste. They typically contain less sugar than regular brownies and use protein sources like whey or milk protein as key ingredients, making them more aligned with fitness nutrition goals.

How do I choose which protein foods to try?

Start by considering when you'll eat them and what flavours appeal to you. If you want indulgent options for post-workout treats, brownies and cookies work well. For lighter snacking throughout the day, wafers or bars might suit better.

Sample sizes let you test flavours before committing to larger packs. Many people end up keeping variety in their rotation - different options for different situations and cravings.

Are Myprotein's protein foods tested for quality?

Yes, our protein foods are manufactured to high quality standards. Many products in our range carry Informed Sport certification, meaning they've been tested for banned substances - important for competitive athletes who need assurance about what they're consuming.
