A busy day can make it useful to have a snack planned in advance. Whether you are heading to work, studying or packing a bag for an active afternoon, choosing before you leave gives you one less decision to make later.
FitSpo’s wider catalogue includes protein bars and cookies, alongside other snack formats. If these products interest you, the best place to start is with your preferences and the information on the individual pack.
Choose a format you will enjoy
Think about the texture you usually prefer. Would you rather have a bar or a cookie-style snack?
Then consider the occasion. Look for an available product with a pack size and storage requirements that suit your day. Follow the label instructions, especially when carrying food in warm weather.
Compare protein per serving
When comparing products, check whether the nutritional information is shown per serving, per pack or per 100 grams.
Use the same basis for each comparison. A headline on the front of a pack can be useful, but the full nutrition table gives you more context, including the amount of protein in the portion you intend to eat.
Look beyond a single number
Flavour, ingredients, allergens and price all matter too. Check the complete label and choose according to your dietary preferences.
A product described as a protein snack can still differ substantially from another in portion size and composition. Take a moment to understand the actual item rather than choosing solely by the category name.
Start with one flavour
Before buying a larger quantity, try an available flavour that appeals to you. Notice whether you enjoy the texture and whether the portion suits the occasion.
A snack you enjoy and use is a more practical purchase than a cupboard full of products you bought without trying.
