For a protein-focused afternoon snack, The Curators Tangy Cheese and Classic BBQ chips each list 10g protein per 35g serving; Waitrose Paprika and Salt & Vinegar popped tortillas each list 6.6g per 30g serving. Choose by the portion you expect to eat, then compare energy, salt and the exact flavour’s allergen information rather than relying on the high-protein label alone.
If you want a savoury afternoon snack with a stated protein amount, compare the portions as well as the grams: ASDA Groceries lists 10g per 35g serving for the cited Curators flavours, while Waitrose & Partners lists 6.6g per 30g serving for its cited popped tortillas.
The labelled serving is a useful starting point if you would rather assess a portion than eat from a sharing bag. The cited Curators and Waitrose flavours list 129–150 kcal per serving, across serving sizes of 30g and 35g.
The exact flavour matters. ASDA Groceries lists soya and milk for Curators Tangy Cheese and soya for Classic BBQ; Waitrose & Partners lists soya and a possible sesame presence for its cited popped tortillas.
Start with protein in a portion you would actually eat, then check the other nutrition information and ingredients on that flavour’s pack.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per portion | Compare grams of protein alongside serving weight. ASDA Groceries lists 10g per 35g for each cited Curators flavour; Waitrose & Partners lists 6.6g per 30g for each cited popped-tortilla flavour. | I want to know what my afternoon portion contributes, rather than compare front-of-pack wording alone. |
| Energy and salt | Read both values for the portion you plan to eat. The cited Waitrose Paprika and Salt & Vinegar flavours list 129 and 130 kcal per 30g respectively, with 0.31g and 0.36g salt. | Protein matters to me, but I also want to compare the rest of the nutrition panel before picking a flavour. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current pack for the exact flavour. The cited Curators Tangy Cheese chips contain soya and milk; the Waitrose popped tortillas contain soya and may contain sesame. | If I avoid an ingredient, a different flavour from the same range needs its own label check. |
| Protein-focused or ordinary chips | Decide whether protein is a reason for this snack. Sainsbury’s lists 1.6g protein per 30g serving for its cited ordinary tortilla chips, compared with Waitrose & Partners’ 6.6g per 30g for the cited popped tortillas. | Sometimes I just want tortilla chips to share; on those occasions, protein per serving may not decide my choice. |
