Protein Tortilla Chips 50 g

BioTech USA Protein Tortilla Chips are crunchy protein tortilla chips with pea protein and oat flakes, serving as a healthier alternative to classic tortilla chips. A 50 g pack contains 8 g of protein and 1.9 g of fibre, with a low sugar content (1.35 g). They are suitable as a savoury snack during the day, a snack at work, on the go, or as an accompaniment to a movie night or party, where they can be served with dip, hummus, guacamole, or salsa.

One 50 g pack contains 8 g of protein, derived from pea protein (11%) and oat flakes (13%). The energy value per serving is 237.5 kcal, carbohydrates 24.5 g (of which 1.35 g sugars), fat 11.5 g (of which 1.05 g saturates), and 1.9 g of fibre. It is therefore a snack with a higher protein and fibre content compared to classic tortilla chips, while maintaining a crunchy texture.

Yes, Protein Tortilla Chips are suitable for vegans as they contain no animal-derived ingredients. The protein base is plant-based, consisting of pea protein and oat flakes, with no milk or animal proteins. The product is also palm oil and preservative-free, making it a suitable choice for consumers who prefer purely plant-based and simpler snack ingredients.

No, Protein Tortilla Chips are gluten-free. The recipe is based on corn flour (51%) and corn starch, not wheat flour, so the product is suitable for those with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. Based on the provided nutritional data, the product contains no allergens, which is confirmed by the absence of gluten-containing ingredients.

According to the nutritional data, the manufacturer states that the product does not contain common allergens. The composition is based on corn flour, sunflower oil, oat flakes, pea protein, and natural seasonings like dried onion and parsley. If you have an individual sensitivity to oats or peas, we recommend checking the exact ingredients on the label before consumption, although these are not classified as common allergens under EU legislation.

Protein Tortilla Chips are intended for direct consumption at any time of day; they are not tied to a specific time such as pre- or post-workout. With 8 g of protein and 1.9 g of fibre per pack, they are suitable as a more nutritious snack between main meals, a crunchy treat during a movie night, or an addition to hummus or guacamole at a party. We recommend consuming them as part of a balanced diet, not as a meal replacement.

Protein Tortilla Chips have a distinct onion and sour cream flavour, which pairs well with various dips – hummus, guacamole, salsa, or classic sour cream dips. They can also be eaten on their own directly from the pack. Given the crunchy texture and savoury taste, they are ideal as a social snack for parties or movie nights, or as a convenient snack requiring no further preparation.

No, Protein Tortilla Chips contain neither palm oil nor preservatives. Refined sunflower oil is used as the fat source in the recipe. The only added technological ingredients are an antioxidant (citric acid) and anti-caking agents (calcium phosphates), which ensure the stability and texture of the product without the need for preservatives.

The main difference is the nutritional profile – Protein Tortilla Chips contain 8 g of protein and 1.9 g of fibre per 50 g pack, which classic tortilla chips without added protein generally do not offer. They also have a lower sugar content (1.35 g), do not contain palm oil or preservatives, and are gluten-free. In terms of taste and texture, however, they retain the typical crunch of classic tortilla chips with an onion and sour cream flavour.

Protein Tortilla Chips can be a more suitable alternative while on a diet compared to classic high-calorie savoury snacks because they contain only 1.35 g of sugar and 8 g of protein per 50 g pack, which contributes to a longer feeling of satiety. However, the energy value of 237.5 kcal per pack is comparable to regular crisps, so they should be accounted for in your total daily calorie intake and not consumed in excess.

One 50 g pack represents exactly 1 serving according to the provided nutritional data. It is not a multi-serving pack intended for repeated consumption from one bag, but a smaller portion-controlled unit suitable as a single-use snack for travelling, work, or as part of a quick meal.

Protein Tortilla Chips are available in onion and sour cream flavour, created by a combination of dried red onion (1%), parsley, and natural flavourings. This distinctive onion and sour cream taste is characteristic of classic tortilla chips, so you can enjoy a familiar flavour in a protein-based snack version.

Yes, you can easily combine Protein Tortilla Chips with protein powder, a gainer, or other food supplements, as they are a standard food item, not a stimulant or a high-dose supplement. Given the 8 g of protein per pack, you can include them as an additional source of protein within your daily intake, for example, between meals or as part of a post-workout snack.

The low sugar content (1.35 g per 50 g pack) is the result of a recipe without added sweeteners or sweetened ingredients – the only ingredient with sugar content is dextrose, used in small amounts for seasoning. The base is made of corn flour, oat flakes, and pea protein, which naturally do not contain high levels of simple sugars, distinguishing the product from many flavoured snacks on the market.
