Choose a small bag of protein crisps if you want to factor in the protein per serving; for a bowl to share, a larger bag of regular paprika crisps is a better fit. A protein claim tells you nothing about salt or allergens, so check the label for the exact variety. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, recreational athletes generally don’t need special protein products.
You want to know how much protein a serving provides. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, recreational athletes don’t automatically need special protein products, so consider the snack as part of your usual diet.
You’re looking for paprika crisps for several players. The size of the bag and your guests’ preferences matter more than the protein in one small snack pack.
You want to compare salt, fat and ingredients. If a guest has an allergy, the allergen information on the current packaging of the exact product should guide your choice.
First decide whether you’re looking for a measured serving of protein or a bowl to share. Then compare the nutritional information and ingredients of the varieties you’re considering for game night.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per serving | Compare the protein per bag and per 100 g, and consider the serving alongside the rest of what you eat. | If I’m planning a small savoury snack around a workout, I want to know how much protein that serving provides. Around 50% of consumers put protein content first. |
| Amount to share | Check the net weight and work out how many people will be sharing the same bag. | When I put crisps out for everyone at the gaming table, I want enough to share without using individual snack packs as a group snack. For around 30% of consumers, this is the top priority. |
| Label and allergens | Check the salt and fat per 100 g, and review the ingredients and allergens for the exact variety. | If a guest needs to avoid an allergen, I don’t want to rely on the label for a different flavour or pack size. Around 20% of consumers put this label check first. |
A high-protein snack might suit your plans, but according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, recreational athletes generally don’t need special protein products.
Think about whether the protein content and small serving are important to you, rather than relying on the claim on the front of the bag.
The WeCare Paprika product file lists 1.9 g of salt per 100 g; Joybuy’s product information for Lay's Chips Paprika 100 g lists 0.65 g per 100 g. So a protein claim doesn’t tell you how much salt a product contains.
Compare the nutritional values on the exact packs, both per 100 g and per serving.
WeCare Paprika comes in 25 g bags, while Albert Heijn lists AH Proteine crisps paprika in a 70 g pack. Jumbo also offers regular paprika crisps in 250 g and 335 g bags.
Decide whether the protein crisps are for one person or for the whole table, then choose a separate quantity for the group.
The WeCare Paprika product file lists soya. A similar flavour or a different pack size is no substitute for the information on the bag you’re actually serving.
Ask guests with allergies to check the current ingredients list and allergen information for the exact product.
