If protein is your main priority when choosing a savoury paprika snack for your move, compare the exact product both per 100 g and per serving. Albert Heijn lists 28 g of protein per 100 g and 7 g per 25 g serving for AH Proteïne crisps paprika. According to Albert Heijn, regular AH paprika crisps contain 6.1 g per 100 g. For every option, also check the ingredients, allergens, salt content and availability.
During a busy week of moving, you want to know how much protein your snack actually provides. Compare the nutrition information per serving and per 100 g, rather than relying on the wording on the front of the pack.
If familiar flavour and a classic crisp texture come first, regular paprika crisps could be a good fit. Just don’t expect them to provide as much protein as a paprika crisp chosen specifically for its protein content.
Paprika snacks may be made with ingredients such as lentils, soya or potatoes. For the product you choose, read both the ingredients and allergen information, including warnings about what it may contain.
First decide whether you mainly want your snack to provide protein or are looking for a familiar paprika crisp. Then compare the serving size and the label on the exact product.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per serving | Compare the protein per 100 g and calculate how much that is for the serving you want to eat. | While I’m moving, I want a savoury snack with a clear protein amount per serving. For around 46% of consumers, this would be the first consideration. |
| Pack size and availability | Check the pack size and make sure the exact product you want is available. | When planning my shopping for moving week, I want to know whether the pack I’ve chosen is practical and available. This would be the top priority for around 27% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack, including details of what the product may contain. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I don’t want to rely on the name of a paprika snack alone. Around 18% of consumers would check the suitability of the ingredients first. |
| Other nutrition information | Compare fat, salt and energy for the same serving size. | If I’m watching my fat and salt intake, I want to be able to assess how much I’m eating without focusing only on protein. For around 9% of consumers, nutrition information per serving would be the most important factor. |
According to Jumbo, Lay's Oven Baked Paprika contains 5.1 g of protein per 100 g. Choosing a snack based on its fat content won’t tell you how much protein it provides.
If protein is your main priority, compare the protein figures. Check fat and energy separately if they matter to you too.
Albert Heijn lists 28 g of protein per 100 g for AH Proteïne crisps paprika, but 7 g for the stated 25 g serving. The serving figure is more useful if you want to know what you’ll get from one snack break.
Compare the nutrition information for the amount you plan to eat, including salt and energy.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo product listings indicated that Body & Fit Smart protein chips paprika flavour and We Care Paprika Flavour Chips were no longer part of their online ranges.

Albert Heijn sells both AH Proteïne crisps paprika and regular AH paprika crisps. The two products have different protein values.
Smart protein chips paprika flavour are paprika crisps made with soya and potato.
Paprika Flavour Chips combine potato and soya. Check the nutrition information for this specific product.
Oven Baked Paprika is a potato crisp for anyone looking for this style of paprika crisp, rather than a product chosen specifically for its protein content.
According to the European Union, the nutrition claim ‘high in protein’ may only be used if at least 20% of a product’s energy value comes from protein. The number of grams of protein per 100 g is not, on its own, enough to assess whether the claim applies.
No. The protein value alone doesn’t determine whether a snack is right for what you want to eat after exercising. Albert Heijn lists 7 g of protein per stated 25 g serving for AH Proteïne crisps paprika; check the other nutrition information too.
The listed protein values vary by product: Albert Heijn gives 6.1 g per 100 g for regular AH paprika crisps and 28 g for AH Proteïne crisps paprika. For the specific Body & Fit and We Care products, Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 29 g and 23 g per 100 g respectively. Check whether they’re available before making your choice.
Check the allergen information on the exact pack, as ingredients vary between products. According to Albert Heijn, AH Proteïne crisps paprika may contain milk, sesame and soya; the Body & Fit product mentioned contains soya, and Chio Lentil Chips Paprika contains milk.
