Quick answer: a good high-protein snack should give you roughly 10 g of protein for under 150 calories. Herbalife Protein Bars (about 10 g protein, ~140 calories) and Protein Chips are two of the easiest ways to hit that target without reaching for the biscuit tin — especially during the South African winter, when comfort-food cravings peak.
Why winter is the hardest season for snacking
Cold weather, shorter days and more time indoors are a perfect recipe for mindless snacking. The fix is not willpower — it is having better options within reach. Protein-rich snacks keep you fuller for longer than the equivalent calories from crisps or chocolate, which makes the afternoon slump far easier to manage.
Option 1: Herbalife Protein Bars
The classic choice: around 140 calories and almost 10 g of protein per bar, in Vanilla Almond and Citrus Lemon. They fit in a handbag or desk drawer, which is exactly where a snack needs to be at 4 pm.
Option 2: NEW Protein Chips
Craving something savoury? The Protein Chips in Barbecue or Sour Cream & Onion deliver the crunch of crisps with a far better protein profile — the snack our customers reorder most.
Option 3: H24 Achieve Dark Chocolate Bars
For training days, the H24 Achieve Protein Bars in Dark Chocolate or Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough are the more indulgent, sport-oriented pick.
