For a summer picnic where protein matters, compare crisp-style snacks by the amount in the pack you plan to eat: Myprotein lists 11g in a 25g pack, while Applied Nutrition lists 15g in a 50g bag. Pork scratchings offer a different, pork-based option; a lentil base alone does not tell you how much protein a snack contains. Check the exact pack’s nutrition panel, ingredients and allergens before buying.
The useful distinction for a protein-focused picnic is between an individual protein-crisp pack, a pulse-based snack and a pork-based crunch.
If you want protein to influence your snack choice, start with the portion you would bring. Myprotein lists 11g protein in one 25g pack of Protein Crisps; Applied Nutrition lists 15g in a 50g bag of Protein Chips.
A soy- or pea-based snack may fit a preference for plant protein, but its other ingredients still matter. The specified Myprotein flavour contains milk ingredients as well as soy; check the exact flavour’s label against your dietary requirements.
If you eat pork, scratchings offer a different crunchy snack from potato or pulse crisps. Compare the pack’s protein, fat, saturates and salt together, and check its wheat and soya information where relevant.
Choose the snack format first, then compare nutrition and ingredients for the exact flavour and portion you expect to serve.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per pack | Read protein in grams for the whole bag or intended serving. Myprotein lists 11g per 25g Protein Crisps pack; Applied Nutrition lists 15g per 50g Protein Chips bag. | I want to know how much protein the portion I bring to the picnic actually contains, rather than compare front-of-pack wording alone. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the exact flavour’s ingredients, allergen statement and any precautionary wording. The specified Myprotein flavour contains soy and milk; REAL Midland Snacks list pork rind, soya protein and wheat rusk. | If I’m sharing snacks, I need to know whether they fit guests’ vegetarian preferences or requirements to avoid particular ingredients. |
| Other nutrition values | Compare kcal, salt, fat and saturates for the portion you expect to eat, using per-100g figures to compare products on the same basis. Check the exact flavour, as values can differ. | A larger protein figure would not settle my choice if the bag size or other nutrition values differ substantially. |
| Snack format | Check whether you are buying a potato crisp, protein chip, lentil cake or pork scratching, and note the pack size. Tyrrells lists 3.9g protein per 30g serving for its specified lentil crisps; Walkers lists 1.6g per 25g pack of Ready Salted crisps. | I may prefer familiar crisps or a lentil snack for a picnic, even when protein is not their main reason for being in the basket. |
A lentil ingredient does not establish the protein amount. Tyrrells lists 3.9g protein per 30g serving for its specified lentil crisps.
Read the protein figure for the exact flavour and serving, then compare it with other packs you are considering.
A 25g protein-crisp pack and a larger bag of pork scratchings represent different amounts of food. Protein alone also leaves out salt, fat and saturates.
Compare the nutrition values per portion you expect to eat; use the per-100g column when you need a common basis between products.
The specified Myprotein flavour contains soy and milk ingredients. REAL Midland Snacks contain pork, soya and wheat; Applied Nutrition describes its Protein Chips as gluten-free and soy-free.
Check the current ingredient and allergen statement on each exact flavour or multipack before sharing it.
These figures and ingredient details concern the named products, not every flavour or pack made by each brand.
