At some point in our lives, we’ve all probably tasted some chalk–flavoured protein bar instead of the claimed chocolate flavour, inducing an “ew; that’s awful” response. Now, however, gone and dead are the days of chalk-flavoured protein snacks. With this in mind, here are the best Egyptian protein-packed, store-bought snacks that can help you get in your daily protein intake goal.

Egypt Foods’ Balance Protein Crackers

Egypt Foods have consistently gifted us with their snacks—from Tiger Chips to the beloved Kalbaz—so you can always trust them with everything snack-related. Available in three different flavours, Sweet Lemon, Sweet Chilli, and Sour Cream and Onion, their Balance Protein Crackers are oven-baked, packed with 15 grams of protein, and are to die for! Our favourite flavour, though, is the Sweet Lemon one; we keep going back to it every time!

Organic Nation’s Snack Attack Protein Puffs

Filling and delicious, Organic Nation’s Snack Attack Protein Puffs offer you a crunch on-the-run with their six different flavours: Chilli, Sweet Chilli, Pizza, Sour Cream and Onion, Tomato and Basil, and Nacho Cheese. Munch on them as you get 12 grams of protein (and only 1.5 grams of sugar), and thank us later!

Real Nutrition’s Hummus Chips

Real Nutrition is a well-known brand among health-conscious snackers, and for good reason. It offers a wide range of healthy, high-protein snacks that your tastebuds will thank you for. While we’re slowly going through all of its snacks, we absolutely LOVE the hummus chips (10 grams of protein), which are the best so far!

Greko’s Yopolis Greek Yogurt

We are total fans of Greko’s Yopolis Greek Yogurt. Versatile, creamy, and filling, what’s not to love? Their flavoured Greek yoghurt sneaks in 11 grams of protein, while their plain ones boast 15 grams (great deals for both, if you ask us!). You can eat their yoghurt on its own or use it as a dipping for the previous snacks we’ve mentioned or even as a salad dressing ingredient to get in more protein during the day! Frankly, the possibilities are endless!

Breadfast’s BYLD Protein Bar

A filling post-workout boost, Breadfast’s BYLD Protein Bar, with all its different flavours, is perfect for packing the protein punch! With 10 to 22 grams of protein (depending on the flavour), this protein bar is soft with a total non-chalky consistency.

Gourmet’s Chia Pudding

A cool, creamy, and high-protein snack, Gourmet’s Chia Pudding, with all its flavours—from mixed berries and passion fruit to banana and vegan mango—is one of the most moreish snacks you can ever try.

Evolve’s Whey Protein

Evolve’s Whey Protein has secured one of the top spots among all the whey proteins available in the market, so we had to try it. Obviously, it did not disappoint; it is worth all the recognition it receives—and perhaps even more! We would absolutely recommend their Ice Cream Cookie and Strawberry Tart flavours. We do recommend their third flavour, which is Biscuits, but only in food like oats or pancakes. Each scoop of their whey protein powder houses 25 grams of protein, which is perfect!

Lychee’s Iron Man Protein Shake

With 30.5 grams of protein, Lychee’s Iron Man Protein Shake is much more protein-dense than the previous options, and it is absolutely ideal as a quick post-workout snack. Made with frozen strawberries, fresh ginger, Greek yoghurt, whey protein, ice, and your choice of sweetener and base, this protein shake is nothing short of refreshing, rewarding, and nourishing.
