It can be tricky to stay stocked up on food high in protein when you’re on-the-go. That’s why we’ve created a delicious range, including high-protein foods, to boost your intake throughout the day.
Shop Protein Bars & Snacks at Myprotein
Protein bars and snacks are the smart way to keep your protein intake consistent throughout the day — no prep, no mess, just high protein foods in formats that fit real life. Whether you're heading to the gym, powering through a long shift, or just need something between meals that actually does something, protein snacks give you a convenient, portable option that delivers where it counts.
The range covers everything from classic protein bars to high protein snacks in biscuit, wafer, crisp, and bite formats — so there's something for every taste preference and lifestyle. Each product is developed with the same nutritional rigour as the wider Myprotein range, with protein content front and centre in every format.
Who Protein Bars & Snacks Are For
These products are built for anyone who takes their nutrition seriously but doesn't always have time to sit down to a structured meal. If you're training regularly and tracking your macros, protein bars and snacks make it easy to hit your daily protein targets without reaching for whatever's convenient. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1, so having a reliable, high protein snack on hand matters.
That said, you don't need to be a competitive athlete to get value from protein-rich snacks. Office workers, students, busy parents, and anyone trying to make more considered food choices will find these useful. If you're looking for protein-rich foods that taste good and travel well, this range is worth exploring.
When to Use Protein Bars & Snacks
The most obvious time to reach for a protein bar is around training — either as a quick option beforehand when you haven't had time for a full meal, or afterwards when you want something immediate and portable. Because protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass1, getting it in at the right time matters to anyone with training goals.
Outside of training, protein snacks work well as a mid-morning or afternoon pick-up — the kind of snack that's actually built around nutritional content rather than just flavour. They're also handy for travel, long days at work, or any situation where a proper meal isn't an option but you still want something purposeful rather than just filling.
Protein Bars & Snacks Benefits
High Protein in a Convenient Format
The whole point of protein snacks is that they make it easy to consume meaningful amounts of protein without cooking or preparation. Many bars and snacks in this range pack a serious protein punch per serving — making them one of the most practical protein-rich foods around for on-the-go nutrition.
Muscle Mass, Backed by What's Inside
Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1, and that's exactly what these snacks are formulated to deliver. Whether you're in a building phase or just keeping what you've worked for, having protein foods available throughout the day makes the practical side of nutrition significantly easier to manage.
Variety That Keeps Things Interesting
One of the biggest barriers to consistent nutrition is boredom. The range spans multiple formats — bars, bites, wafers, crisps — and a wide variety of flavours, so you're not stuck eating the same thing every day. More variety means it's easier to stay consistent with your protein food choices over the long term.
Designed for Real Life
Protein bars and snacks fit into a bag, a desk drawer, or a gym kit without any fuss. They don't need refrigerating, they don't need preparing, and they're portioned for you already. For anyone who leads a busy life and still wants to eat with intention, that kind of practicality makes a genuine difference.

FAQs
What are high protein snacks?
High protein snacks are ready-to-eat foods formulated to deliver a meaningful amount of protein per serving — typically from sources like whey, milk protein, or soy. Unlike standard snack foods, they're built around nutritional content rather than just taste. Protein bars, protein bites, and high protein wafers all fall into this category. They're a practical way to include more protein foods in your day without relying on cooked meals.
What are the best high protein foods for snacking on the go?
For on-the-go nutrition, portable protein snacks in bar or bite formats are hard to beat. They require no preparation, no refrigeration, and deliver a consistent amount of protein per portion. Protein bars are among the most practical high protein snack options available — they sit alongside more traditional protein-rich foods like meat, eggs, and dairy, but come in a format that fits in a pocket or gym bag.
How much protein should a protein bar contain?
A good protein bar typically contains anywhere from 15g to 30g of protein per serving, depending on its intended use and format. The higher end suits those with more demanding training schedules and higher daily protein targets. Always check the label — the protein content, source, and total calorie count vary significantly between products, so it's worth matching the bar to your specific nutritional goals.
Are protein bars a good way to hit daily protein targets?
Protein bars are a genuinely effective way to close the gap between how much protein you're getting from meals and how much you actually need each day. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1, and for many people it's difficult to hit their targets through food alone. Protein bars make it easier to stay consistent, particularly on days when meals are rushed or limited.
Can protein snacks replace a meal?
Most protein bars and snacks are designed to complement your diet, not replace full meals. They're intended to sit between meals or around training — adding protein to your day in a convenient format. If you're looking for something that functions more like a meal, a higher-calorie format with balanced macros would be more appropriate. For most people, protein snacks work best as part of a varied, balanced diet.
What's the difference between protein bars and regular snack bars?
The key difference is nutritional intent. Regular snack bars are typically built around taste, with carbohydrates and sugar as the primary ingredients. Protein bars are formulated with protein as the central macronutrient, with the other ingredients engineered around that goal. As a result, protein bars tend to have a noticeably higher protein content per serving compared to standard confectionery-style snacks.
Who developed Myprotein's protein bars and snacks?
Myprotein's protein bars and snacks are developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists, who work to ensure each product delivers a meaningful protein content without compromising on taste or texture. The same nutritional standards that apply across the wider product range are applied to every bar, bite, and snack format — so you get something that performs as well as it tastes.
Are Myprotein protein snacks suitable for vegetarians?
Many protein snacks in the range are suitable for vegetarians, with products formulated using milk-based or plant-based protein sources. Suitability varies by product, so it's always worth checking the label or product page for specific dietary information. The range is broad enough that most dietary preferences can find something that works for them.
How do protein bars fit into a high protein diet?
Protein bars are one of the most practical additions to a high protein diet because they bridge the gaps that whole food sources can't always fill. Planning meals around protein-rich foods like meat, fish, eggs, and legumes is important — but real life doesn't always cooperate. Having protein snacks available means you can maintain consistent intake across the whole day, even when a proper meal isn't on the cards.
What protein snacks are available at Myprotein?
The range includes a variety of protein bars, protein bites, high protein wafers, and savoury snack formats — all with protein content as the headline feature. If you're specifically looking for something to support muscle mass goals, Impact Whey Mass Gainer delivers 30g of protein and 50g of carbs per serving, making it a more substantial option for those with higher calorie needs alongside their snack routine. The snacks range itself is regularly updated with new flavours and formats.
