If you’re choosing protein consciously to go with your morning coffee after a workout, compare the amount per serving rather than relying on the wording on the front of the pack. Albert Heijn lists 28 g of protein per 100 g for AH Proteïne crisps paprika. Based on the stated 25 g serving, that works out at 7 g. Less fat doesn’t automatically mean more protein, and according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, most people who exercise don’t need a specialist protein product if they eat a varied diet.
If you want something small with your morning coffee around your workout, check the protein per serving rather than just the flavour. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says that most people who exercise don’t need a specialist protein product if they eat a varied diet.
You’re comparing the protein, fat and salt content of the paprika-flavoured option you want to eat. A claim that a product is lower in fat doesn’t, on its own, tell you how much protein a serving contains.
For you, the familiar flavour, texture and a bag size that suits your break are what matter most. If protein is also a consideration, check the nutritional information for regular crisps too.
First, decide whether protein, other nutritional values or the occasion is the deciding factor for you. Then compare the exact paprika variety and the portion you’ll actually eat.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per serving | Compare the grams of protein per serving and per 100 g; check which serving weight the figure refers to. | After exercising, I want to know how much protein my small savoury snack actually provides. This protein contribution is the top priority for around 46% of consumers. |
| Fat and energy | Check the fat and energy figures on the label; don’t treat a lower-fat claim as a statement about protein. | If I want to choose a snack based on its nutritional values, I need to look beyond a single claim on the pack. This is the most important consideration for around 27% of consumers. |
| Flavour and bag size | Choose the paprika flavour you prefer and check how much the pack contains. | With my morning coffee, I mainly want paprika crisps in a size that suits my break. This is the main consideration for around 27% of consumers. |
