Online, you’ll find a huge selection of biscuits and snacks – from dog biscuits and chews to breakfast biscuits, protein cookies and protein bars. This variety is handy, but it also makes comparing products more difficult. A flashy packet or a claim like “high protein” doesn’t always tell you enough about the ingredients, portion size or whether it’s right for your needs.
So, watch out for these three common pitfalls:
For active adults, protein cookies, protein bars and high-protein snacks are easy to compare using the nutrition table. Pay attention to:
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey, for example, states around 24g of protein per serving of approximately 32g. The ingredients list mentions a blend of whey isolate, whey concentrate and hydrolysed whey peptides. The product contains milk and soya. The product information also includes a claim like “sugar-free”, while the nutrition table shows around 1.2g of sugars per serving. So always check the current label before you buy.
If you’re looking for whey protein, you’ll typically choose a powder that you mix with water or milk. Casein protein, on the other hand, is described in the product details as being ideal for times when you won’t be eating for a while. That makes the intended use more important than just the protein percentage.
A product with a short ingredients list isn’t automatically right for everyone. Always check for:
Holie’s Crunchy Loops contains wholemeal wheat, peanut flour and chicory root fibre, among other things. The packaging states 23% protein and 0% added sugar, but it does contain carbohydrates and natural sugars. With Barebells Protein Cookies & Cream, the ingredients list includes milk, soya, sweeteners and collagen hydrolysate. The product information warns that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect due to the sweeteners used.
For dogs, there’s a separate check: dog biscuits are not intended for human consumption. G’woon Marrow-Filled Dog Biscuits contains cereals with gluten, meat and animal by-products, vegetable protein extracts and minerals. The product description mentions a crunchy outer layer and a soft marrow filling.
For biscuits on the go, individually wrapped portions are practical. Belvita Milk & Cereals Biscuits comes as six packs of four biscuits. According to the nutritional information, the product contains 8.1g of protein and 6.4g of fibre per 100g. It also contains gluten, milk and soya.
For dogs, texture makes a difference. Soft jerky is easy to break into smaller pieces for training. Hard dog chews need more supervision, especially with small dogs or greedy eaters. For all dog snacks: make sure fresh water is available, keep the packaging tightly sealed and adjust the daily amount. The product information for several of the snacks mentioned advises that treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake.
Why it fits this profile: The portion packaging makes this a simple choice for breakfast or on the go, without having to open a large pack straight away.
The nutritional information shows values per 100g and the pack contains six portions. This makes it easy to assess the quantity and price at a glance.
Six packs of four biscuits; a source of calcium, magnesium and iron according to the product information.
Why it fits this profile: The blend and portion information are clearly presented for adults who want to supplement their daily protein intake.
The product information lists both the amount per serving and the ingredients and allergens. This means you don’t have to rely solely on the front of the pack.
Approximately 24g of whey protein per serving; instantised powder for mixing with water or milk.
Why it fits this profile: The casein variant is designed for users who plan their protein intake around longer periods without food, such as before sleep.
The recommended mixing ratio of around 33g with 300ml of milk is stated. Always check the current dosage on the label.
924g tub; according to the product information, 24g of protein per serving and 28 servings per tub.
Why it fits this profile: The soft chicken strips can be broken into smaller pieces according to the product description, making them practical for training.
The analysis states a minimum of 30% crude protein and a maximum of 18% moisture. The packaging advises supervision while eating.
454g bag; chicken listed as an ingredient; soft texture that can be broken into pieces.
We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
The difference is mainly in shape, texture and portion size. A protein bar is usually individually wrapped and designed for on the go. Protein cookies may come with several pieces per pack. Always compare the protein per serving, not just the percentage on the front.
No. “No added sugar” means that, according to the product information, no sugar has been added to the recipe. The product may still contain carbohydrates, fats or naturally occurring sugars. Sweeteners may also be used. So always check the full nutrition table and ingredients list.
That depends on your dog’s size, age, activity level and the composition of their main food. Use dog treats as a supplement, not as a replacement for a meal. Several product packs advise that treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake. Always supervise hard dog chews and jerky, and follow the instructions on the packaging.
