For an adult Easter egg hunt, compare the protein in the portion you plan to hand out: Applied Nutrition lists 15g per 50g bag, while Myprotein lists 11g per 25g serving. Check the exact flavour’s allergens and packaging before choosing either; for a children’s hunt, the Joybuy listing for Applied Nutrition Protein Chips Paprika specifically says it is not suitable for children.
If you want a savoury option alongside chocolate, compare the protein in each portion and check whether packs can be handed out with their flavour and ingredients identifiable. Do not assume a sharing bag provides individually packaged portions.
Applied Nutrition lists 15g protein per 50g bag of Protein Chips, and Myprotein lists 11g per 25g serving of Popped Protein Crisps. Those are different portion sizes, so check the pack you intend to distribute rather than comparing the numbers without their serving information.
Keep the original flavour packets available for guests to check. Myprotein describes its Salt & Vinegar crisps as vegan, but the product contains soya and may contain celery, egg, milk and mustard; vegan status is not an allergen check.
Start with the portion each person will receive, then check the exact product’s ingredients and whether its packaging works for the hunt.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per portion | Compare the grams in the bag or serving you will hand out, not just the figure per 100g. Applied Nutrition lists 15g per 50g bag; Myprotein lists 11g per 25g serving. For context, Walkers UK lists 1.6g per 25g of Ready Salted crisps, and Tyrrells lists 3.9g per 30g serving of Sour Cream & Onion Lentil Crisps. | I want the savoury snack to provide a clearly identified amount of protein in the portion each adult receives, rather than relying on a product name or a per-100g figure. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients and allergen statement for the exact flavour. Myprotein’s Salt & Vinegar variant contains soya and may contain celery, egg, milk and mustard. | Guests need to be able to identify their own packet and check whether that flavour fits their dietary requirements. |
| Portion and packaging | Check whether each person will receive an unopened individual pack or a portion from a larger pack. The Joybuy options below are a 95g bag of lentil chips and a 100g pack of lentil cakes; neither product name establishes individual wrapping. | For a hunt, I would rather hand out recognisable, labelled packs than lose track of flavours and ingredients when dividing a larger pack. |
| Recipient and flavour | Check any suitability warning on the exact pack. The Joybuy listing for Applied Nutrition Protein Chips Paprika says it is not suitable for children, pregnant or breastfeeding women. Compare nutrition panels by flavour: Myprotein lists 1.4g salt per 25g serving for its researched Salt & Vinegar variant. | If children or guests with particular requirements are taking part, I need a snack whose current label is appropriate for them; an adult fitness snack is not automatically a children’s party snack. |
Portions differ substantially: Walkers UK lists 1.6g protein per 25g of Ready Salted crisps, while Applied Nutrition lists 15g per 50g bag of Protein Chips. A per-100g figure alone does not tell you what each person will receive.
Compare the protein amount for the actual bag or serving before buying packs for the hunt.
Myprotein’s vegan Salt & Vinegar Popped Protein Crisps contain soya and may contain celery, egg, milk and mustard.
Keep packets identifiable and check each exact flavour’s current ingredients and allergen statement with the guest concerned.
The Joybuy listing for Applied Nutrition Protein Chips Paprika states that this product is not suitable for children, pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Choose for the intended recipients using the exact product’s current packaging and manufacturer guidance, rather than assuming all crisp-style snacks have the same suitability.
Myprotein lists 1.4g salt per 25g serving for the researched Salt & Vinegar variant. A figure for one flavour should not be applied to another.
Read the nutrition panel on the flavour and pack size you plan to distribute, especially if participants may take more than one portion.
These references describe particular product ranges and flavours, not every crisp made by each brand or the products listed on Joybuy below.
Its Protein Chips are an oven-baked, pea-protein crisp-style snack; Applied Nutrition lists 15g protein per 50g bag.
Its Popped Protein Crisps provide a smaller researched serving: the Salt & Vinegar variant lists 11g protein per 25g.
Its Sour Cream & Onion Lentil Crisps offer a lentil-crisp alternative when a specialist protein snack is not the aim.
These lentil snacks offer alternatives when protein per individual pack is not the sole priority. One is a 95g bag of lentil chips; the other is a 100g pack of lentil cakes rather than crisps. Check how you would hand them out before choosing either for a hunt.

A lentil-chip option if you want crisps rather than a specialist protein snack. The 95g bag is a larger pack, so consider how to keep portions and the original ingredient information identifiable when handing it out.
Image unavailable
Choose these only if a lentil cake, rather than a crisp, fits what you plan to offer. The 100g pack is not presented as individually wrapped hunt portions; check the current pack’s serving and allergen information before distributing it.
No: compare protein in the portion you will actually hand out. Walkers UK lists 1.6g per 25g of Ready Salted crisps, whereas Applied Nutrition lists 15g per 50g bag of Protein Chips; the portions and products are different.
Do not assume they are appropriate for children. The Joybuy listing for Applied Nutrition Protein Chips Paprika explicitly says that product is not suitable for children; check the exact product’s current suitability guidance before selecting snacks for the intended age group.
Vegan status does not establish allergen suitability. Myprotein’s Salt & Vinegar Popped Protein Crisps contain soya and may contain celery, egg, milk and mustard, so guests should be able to check the current packet for the exact flavour.
Not in the researched examples. Tyrrells lists 3.9g protein per 30g serving of Sour Cream & Onion Lentil Crisps, compared with Myprotein’s 11g per 25g serving of Salt & Vinegar Popped Protein Crisps. Check both the portion size and the exact product when comparing alternatives.
Follow the storage instructions on each exact pack. Myprotein instructs buyers to keep its researched Popped Protein Crisps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; retain the packaging so guests can also identify the flavour and ingredients.
