Choose almonds as part of your camping food and check the protein content per portion: the Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 5.4 g of protein per 25 g handful of unsalted almonds. If you exercise, your overall diet matters; also check how the almonds are prepared, their ingredients and the packaging. A product name or search term alone does not prove that a product can be marketed as ‘high protein’.
You want to know how much protein a handful of almonds adds to your day. Bear in mind the difference between recreational exercise and intensive strength or endurance training, and consider your overall diet. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 5.4 g of protein per 25 g handful of unsalted almonds.
You’re looking for something practical to take with you that can be sealed securely after opening. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a sealed container in a dry place; a warm tent isn’t automatically a suitable place to keep them.
You’re dividing snacks between several days or people and want to consider packaging, flavour and allergens in advance. If you repack the nuts, it’s a good idea to keep the label information with them. AH, Jumbo and PLUS provide ingredient information for specific variants.
First check the protein content of the portion you’ll actually eat, then compare the ingredients, preparation and packaging with your camping plans.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this for? |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per portion | Compare labels using the same portion size; convert a value per 100 g to your own portion. | If I’m planning my snacks around exercise, I want to know how much protein my portion actually provides and how it fits into my day. Around 36% of consumers prioritise the protein content per portion. |
| Transport and storage | Check that the packaging seals securely and follow the storage advice on the label. | If I’m taking almonds with me for several days, I want to be able to seal them securely after opening and store them somewhere suitable. Around 29% of consumers give storage and portability the highest priority. |
| Preparation and ingredients | Read the ingredients list; check the salt, added oil and any seasonings separately. | If I’m looking for a simple snack or one with a savoury seasoning, I want to know exactly what else it contains besides almonds. Around 21% of consumers mainly choose based on ingredients and salt content. |
| Pack size | Choose a pack size to suit the number of people and days, and consider how you’ll store it after opening. | For shared supplies, I want to take enough for the portions I’ve planned without opening more than is practical. Around 14% of consumers mainly focus on stock and portion planning. |
This could lead you to overestimate the amount of protein in your snack.
Convert the value on the label to the portion you’ll actually eat, and compare products using the same weight basis.
An unsalted variety may also contain other ingredients, such as sunflower oil.
Read the ingredients list separately from the preparation and salt information.
Nuts should be kept sealed and dry. Taking the pack with you isn’t enough if you don’t have a suitable place to store it.
Choose an amount that suits your needs and find a suitable, cool, dry place to keep it. Also follow the storage advice on the packaging.

According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, recreational exercisers don’t need special protein products. Your protein needs may be higher if you do intensive strength or endurance training; in that case, consider your overall diet and, if needed, ask a sports dietitian for personalised advice.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping almonds sealed, dry and preferably cool, for example at 10–15 °C. This is storage guidance, not a legally required refrigeration temperature. Also follow the instructions on the packaging.
Almonds are an allergen in their own right. Also check the exact packaging for information about the possible presence of other allergens; don’t rely on terms such as ‘pure’ or ‘unsalted’ alone. Almonds aren’t a suitable snack for anyone with a diagnosed almond allergy.
The NVWA states that new rules for warnings about possible allergen cross-contamination, known as PAL, have applied since 1 January 2026. These precautionary warnings are separate from almonds included as an ingredient in the product.
