Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Whether you want to build muscle, tone up, boost your metabolism or balance blood sugar levels, you need to make sure you’re consuming enough protein. To grow muscle, experts recommend consuming between 1.2g to 2g of protein per kilo of body weight, which can seem like a lot.
Eating it all at mealtimes can make you feel stuffed and sluggish, which is where protein-based snacks come in. These snacks are the ideal way to help you avoid spikes and crashes from big meals, digesting a protein snack can help you feel fuller longer. Suffer from a mid-afternoon productivity slump, especially on days when you’ve been working out? Tucking into some protein will not only help you hit your daily intake but is far better for you than reaching for caffeine or sugar.
Whether you like a moist brownie, a gooey cookie or a crisp wafer, Myprotein has plenty of ways for you to get a protein fix on the go. There are vegan options and low-calorie options at less than 100kcal per snack. And they’re a lot easier to consume on the go than a protein shake as you don’t need to carry a bottle around with you all day. Here are some of our favourites.
Myprotein salted caramel pop rolls, six-pack: £4.19, Myprotein.com
Pop rolls are bite-sized snacks designed to increase your protein intake and satisfy your sweet tooth without derailing your diet. Each roll packs over seven grams of protein and clocks in at under 100kcal, making them a guilt-free indulgence.
The treat features a soft and chewy protein dough surrounding a gooey caramel filling. There are two flavour options to tantalise taste buds: salted caramel and milk chocolate caramel. Both are enrobed in a deliciously flavoured coating, with the milk chocolate boasting a touch of gold sugar crunch for added texture.

Each of these vegan cookies boasts 13g of plant-based protein, thanks to a blend of pea protein and wheat flour. This protein punch helps with muscle growth and recovery, ideal for gym-lovers.

Myprotein layered protein bars, six-pack: £10.55, Myprotein.com
These unique protein bars consist of six different layers to satisfy your sweet tooth while packing a protein punch.
