Choose a lentil-based tortilla chip if protein in the chips themselves matters: Asda Groceries, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose list 22–28g protein per 100g for the specific products considered here, against 5.3–5.6g per 100g for the standard tortilla chips listed by Sainsbury's and Tesco. For a garden party, weigh that difference against pack size, flavour and each product's allergen information; a small protein-focused bag can be one part of the spread rather than the only bowl of chips.
If the chips themselves need to contribute protein, compare the figures per 100g rather than relying on the snack category or front-of-pack wording. The specific lentil-based tortilla products listed by Asda Groceries, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose provide 22–28g per 100g.
A smaller protein-focused bag can sit alongside a larger bowl for communal dipping. The protein-focused bags listed by Asda Groceries, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose weigh 80–90g; the standard tortilla-chip examples listed by Sainsbury's and Tesco weigh 200g.
Check the exact flavour rather than treating a lentil base as an allergen guarantee. Asda Groceries labels The Curators Classic BBQ Lentil Tortillas vegan and free from cereals containing gluten, but lists soya; Waitrose lists soya and a possible sesame presence for its Salt & Vinegar Popped Tortillas.
Start with protein per 100g to compare different pack sizes, then check how many portions you plan to serve and whether each flavour suits your guests.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | Compare protein per 100g, then check the stated serving size. Asda Groceries lists 28g per 100g and 10g per 35g serving for The Curators Classic BBQ; Waitrose lists 22g per 100g and 6.6g per 30g serving for its Salt & Vinegar product. | I want the chips themselves to contribute protein, rather than assuming any tortilla chip will do. The standard products listed by Sainsbury's and Tesco have 5.3g and 5.6g per 100g respectively. |
| Portions | Check pack weight and any stated serving count before deciding how many bags to open. The protein-focused examples from Asda Groceries, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose weigh 80–90g; Sainsbury's lists approximately six servings in its 200g standard bag. | Will this be one choice on a table of snacks, or the chips everyone uses for dipping? I can plan the number of bags around that role and the portions shown on the packs. |
| Ingredients and fibre | Look at the snack base and fibre per 100g as well as protein. Marks & Spencer lists 6.5g fibre per 100g for its Smoked Paprika Popped Red Lentil Tortillas; Waitrose lists 5g per 100g for its Salt & Vinegar Popped Tortillas. | For a change from a standard maize tortilla chip, I might choose a lentil-based flavour. I still want to compare the nutrition panel for the exact product. |
| Allergens | Read the current ingredients and allergen statement for every flavour. Asda Groceries lists soya in The Curators Classic BBQ product; Marks & Spencer marks its Smoked Paprika product unsuitable for people with sesame or soya allergy; Waitrose lists soya and a possible sesame presence. | Guests need to know which bowl contains which snack. I'll keep the original packs available for checking and use separate, clearly identified bowls where allergens differ. |
| Flavour and format | Choose between the listed flavours and serving formats: Classic BBQ in an 85g bag from The Curators, Smoked Paprika in a 90g bag from M&S, Salt & Vinegar in an 80g bag from Waitrose, or six individual 50g portions from More Nutrition. | If guests will help themselves from shared bowls, bag size matters. Individual portions are another option when I want to set out separate packs. |
For the specific products listed by Asda Groceries, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose, protein ranges from 22g to 28g per 100g. The standard examples listed by Sainsbury's and Tesco provide 5.3g and 5.6g per 100g.
Compare the per-100g figures first, then use the serving information to plan portions. Choose standard chips for sharing without treating them as an equivalent protein option.
The protein-focused products listed by Asda Groceries, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose come in 80–90g bags, whereas the standard Sainsbury's and Tesco examples come in 200g bags. One smaller bag may not cover the portions you intend to serve.
Decide whether the protein-focused chips are a separate choice or the main dipping snack, then check pack weights and stated servings when working out quantities.
The Curators Classic BBQ product is labelled vegan and free from cereals containing gluten but contains soya, according to Asda Groceries. Waitrose lists soya and a possible sesame presence for its Salt & Vinegar product.
Check each current pack against your guests' requirements, retain the packaging and identify the contents of separate serving bowls.
More Nutrition's product page displayed conflicting availability messages for its six-pack of Protein Tortilla Chips. That matters if the packs are central to a party planned for a particular day.
Confirm the chosen flavour, availability and delivery timing before planning portions around that multipack.
The Classic BBQ Lentil Tortillas are an 85g protein-focused option listed by Asda Groceries. These details apply to that flavour, not every Curators snack.
Its Smoked Paprika Popped Red Lentil Tortillas are a 90g alternative with a different flavour and a popped, rather than fried, preparation, according to Marks & Spencer.
The Salt & Vinegar Popped Tortillas come in an 80g bag for a shared snack with a distinctly different flavour from the BBQ and paprika examples.
Its Protein Tortilla Chips are presented as six individual 50g portions rather than a single sharing bag.
Tesco Cool Tortilla Chips are a 200g standard tortilla-chip option for a communal bowl when protein in the chips is not the main requirement.
These Joybuy options are lentil and hummus chips for a garden-party snack spread, not the tortilla-chip products compared above. If your aim is specifically a high-protein tortilla chip, check the exact product's nutrition and ingredients before choosing an alternative.

A 95g sea-salt lentil-chip option if you want another savoury snack alongside tortilla chips. Check the pack's protein figure and allergen statement for the guests you are serving.
No image available
A 110g tomato-and-basil hummus-chip option for a different flavour on the snack table. It is not one of the tortilla-chip products compared above; check its nutrition panel if protein is your reason for choosing it.
Compare protein per 100g first so different pack sizes do not distort the comparison, then look at protein per stated serving. Asda Groceries, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose list 22–28g per 100g for the specific lentil-based tortilla products discussed here; Sainsbury's and Tesco list 5.3g and 5.6g per 100g for their standard examples.
Use the pack's stated servings and decide whether the chips are the main dipping snack or one choice among several. The protein-focused examples from Asda Groceries, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose weigh 80–90g, while Sainsbury's describes its 200g standard tortilla-chip bag as approximately six servings.
Check the exact product rather than assuming every high-protein flavour has the same suitability. Asda Groceries labels The Curators Classic BBQ Lentil Tortillas vegan and free from cereals containing gluten, but lists soya in the product; check the current pack against each guest's requirements.
Check every exact flavour's current allergen statement, keep its packaging and identify separate bowls clearly. Asda Groceries lists soya for The Curators Classic BBQ product, Marks & Spencer marks its Smoked Paprika product unsuitable for people with sesame or soya allergy, and Waitrose lists soya and a possible sesame presence for its Salt & Vinegar product.
