For a lower-calorie protein snack among three Tesco Groceries listings, Grenade Carb Killa Jaffa Quake has 204 kcal and 21g protein per bar; Barebells Banana Dream is close on energy at 205 kcal but has 16g protein. Myprotein Chocolate Chunk Protein Brownie provides 25g protein at 291 kcal, so it suits a different priority. Compare complete servings, check the exact flavour’s ingredients and confirm that the item can be added to your grocery basket.
Whole-bar nutrition figures, ingredients and ordering arrangements matter for different reasons depending on what you want from a snack.
If the amount you will eat is one complete bar, start with its energy per bar rather than a front-of-pack sugar claim. The three Tesco Groceries examples covered here range from 204 kcal per bar to 291 kcal per brownie.
A supermarket listing lets you consider a protein snack alongside the rest of your basket. Check the exact flavour, pack size and basket availability for your delivery location before ordering.
Read the ingredient list and any precautionary allergen wording for the precise flavour you choose. The Tesco products compared here have different ingredient and allergen statements, so a brand name alone is not enough to make that check.
Compare the portion you intend to eat first, then check whether its ingredients and ordering arrangements work for you.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Energy and protein | Compare kcal and protein grams per complete bar or stated serving. Tesco Groceries lists Grenade Jaffa Quake at 204 kcal and 21g protein per 60g bar, Barebells Banana Dream at 205 kcal and 16g per 55g bar, and Myprotein Chocolate Chunk Protein Brownie at 291 kcal and 25g per 75g brownie. | I would choose between the two similarly caloried bars by looking at their protein figures and ingredients. If I want the 25g-protein brownie instead, its 291 kcal serving needs to fit what I planned to buy. |
| Ingredients | Read the exact flavour’s ingredients, declared allergens, precautionary warnings and sweeteners. Check the pack again when it arrives, particularly if an ingredient restriction affects your choice. | A suitable calorie figure does not settle the decision for me if the product’s ingredients or allergen statement do not meet my needs. |
| Ordering and pack size | Confirm the bar weight, the number of bars in the pack and availability in your basket for your delivery location. Review any substitution setting before placing the order. | If I am adding snacks to a grocery delivery, I want the flavour and quantity I selected to match the final basket. |
Sugar wording does not tell you the energy in the whole snack. The Tesco Groceries examples in this article have different per-serving calorie figures, from 204 kcal to 291 kcal.
Find the kcal figure for one complete bar or brownie, then compare protein and ingredients on that same serving basis.
Sweetener ingredients differ between products. The Tesco listings for Grenade Jaffa Quake and Barebells Banana Dream include sweeteners; Barebells also carries a warning about excessive consumption.
Read the exact flavour’s ingredient list and any pack warning if particular sweeteners or polyols matter to you.
Nutrition, ingredients and precautionary allergen statements are product-specific. A figure or warning for one flavour should not be applied to a different bar in the range.
Match the flavour and weight on the listing to the delivered pack, and read the pack label before eating it.
A listed product is not a promise that it can be added to every grocery delivery basket or slot.
Set your delivery location and check the final item and substitution setting in your basket.

Barebells Banana Dream has 205 kcal and 16g protein per 55g bar; Myprotein Chocolate Chunk Protein Brownie has 291 kcal and 25g protein per 75g brownie.

Read the ingredient list and allergen statement for the exact flavour and pack, including any “may contain” warning. Check the delivered label too, rather than relying on another flavour’s details or only on an online listing.
No. Set your delivery location, check whether the precise item can be added to your basket and review its substitution setting before placing the order.
