Best value protein bars
Protein bars, cookies, crisps and jerky from the big three, ranked by how much protein you get per dollar. Per-bar figures come from the label's serving size.
48 products · prices last checked 22 October 2026Built by an Accredited Practising Dietitian How it works
- Multipacks are usually cheaper per bar than singles.
- Check protein per serve: some bars are small, so a high per-100 g figure doesn't mean a big serve.
- Per gram of protein, yoghurt, eggs and tinned fish are usually cheaper than bars.

Questions
What's the best value protein bar at the supermarket?
On 22 October 2026, Fresh Life Soy Protein Crisps Cocoa 150g (Woolworths) gave the most protein per dollar: 16.7 g per $1.
Which protein bar has the most protein per bar?
BSc High Protein Bar Salted Caramel 92g (Woolworths) with about 48 g protein per 92 g serve.
Which protein bar has the most protein per calorie?
Protea Foods Biltong Traditional South African Mini Sticks 30g (Woolworths) at 21.2 g protein per 100 kcal.
Are protein bars a cheap way to get protein?
Usually not. 62 everyday foods we track give 30 g of protein for less than the best-value bar, including yoghurt, eggs, milk, tinned tuna and legumes. Bars win on convenience.
Are multipacks cheaper?
Generally. Boxes of 4–10 bars usually cost less per bar than single bars. Compare protein per $1 rather than the shelf price.
