Näno Pops Protein

🍫 10g of protein per 38g bag — complete protein from soy

Each bag provides 10g of soy protein from the crispy inner puff matrix. Soy protein is a complete plant protein with all nine essential amino acids and a PDCAAS comparable to dairy protein — making Protein Pops one of the few chocolate snacks that delivers a genuinely complete amino acid profile alongside the eating experience of a confectionery product.

🎯 The Maltesers format — reimagined as a protein snack

The chocolate-coated crispy ball format is universally familiar and universally loved. Näno Supps Protein Pops replicate this format precisely — the visual appearance, the chocolate coating, the crispy interior and the pour-from-the-bag eating ritual — but with a nutritional profile that makes the snack a meaningful daily protein contribution rather than an empty caloric moment.

🚫 Only 3.6g of sugar — maltitol-sweetened chocolate coating

The chocolate coating (milk or white) uses maltitol as its primary sweetener — a sugar alcohol that delivers equivalent sweetness to sucrose with a lower glycaemic impact and no contribution to the "added sugars" declaration. At 3.6g of total sugars per bag (from the naturally occurring sugars in the rice flour and soy components), Protein Pops are fully compatible with low-sugar dietary approaches.

💥 Crunchy soy puff interior — genuine textural satisfaction

The inner soy puff is produced from soy protein, rice starch and rice flour in an aerated, crispy format that provides a satisfying crunch with every ball — giving the same textural experience as standard crispy chocolate balls while contributing to the protein content of the snack.

📦 38g bag format — the perfect on-the-go protein snack

The single-serve 38g bag format makes Protein Pops the most portable and convenient high-protein snack in the Näno Supps range. It fits in any jacket pocket, gym bag or desk drawer, requires no preparation, generates no waste beyond the wrapper, and provides an immediately rewarding, confectionery-quality eating experience at 10g of protein.

🎯 Goal guide

🏋️ Mass gain: 1 to 2 bags/day as a protein-rich snack between meals. 10g of soy protein per bag alongside whole food protein sources.

🔥 Weight loss / cutting: 1 bag/day. 166 kcal, 10g protein, 3.6g sugar — a satisfying chocolate craving resolution at minimal caloric cost.

⚖️ Daily protein top-up: 1 bag/day as a mid-morning or afternoon protein snack moment.

Serving suggestion

Open the bag and consume directly. No preparation required. Best consumed at room temperature or slightly chilled — avoid heat above 22°C as the chocolate coating will soften. Once opened, consume shortly after opening. Store in a cool, dry place at 15 to 22°C, away from direct heat and light.

Best times to enjoy it

☀️ Mid-morning or afternoon snack

Protein Pops are designed for the snack moment — the mid-morning or afternoon pause when a chocolate craving would otherwise drive a low-protein, high-sugar confectionery choice. A bag of Protein Pops resolves that craving at 10g of protein and 3.6g of sugar rather than zero protein and 25g of sugar from a conventional alternative.

🏋️ Post-workout portable protein

When a protein shake is inconvenient — no shaker, no water, no time — a bag of Protein Pops provides 10g of soy protein in a ready-to-eat format that fits in any gym bag pocket and requires zero preparation.

🌙 Evening dessert substitute

The White Chocolate variant is particularly effective as an evening sweet craving solution — the familiar chocolate-coated crispy ball format delivers genuine confectionery satisfaction at 172 kcal and 10g of protein.

✈️ On the go

The 38g bag is the most portable protein snack format available. It fits in any pocket, generates no mess, requires no utensils and is shelf-stable at room temperature.

Q1 — What are Näno Supps Protein Pops inspired by?

Protein Pops are directly inspired by the Maltesers format — the iconic chocolate-coated malted milk crispy ball snack in the red bag. Näno Supps took the format, the visual appearance and the eating ritual and rebuilt the nutritional profile around protein rather than sugar: 10g of protein and 3.6g of sugar instead of approximately 3g of protein and 25g of sugar per 38g serving. The result is a snack that is virtually indistinguishable from conventional chocolate-coated crispy balls in eating experience but functions as a meaningful protein food.

Q2 — Is the protein in Protein Pops from soy or dairy?

The protein in Protein Pops comes primarily from soy — specifically the soy protein in the crispy inner puff (soy protein, rice starch, rice flour). The chocolate coating contains whole milk powder (dairy) as a component of the chocolate flavour, but the primary protein source is the soy puff matrix. This makes Protein Pops suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans (due to the milk in the coating) and not for individuals with soy allergies.

Q3 — What is the difference between the Chocolate and White Chocolate variants?

The difference is the chocolate coating. The Chocolate variant uses a milk chocolate coating (cocoa butter, whole milk powder, cocoa mass) sweetened with maltitol. The White Chocolate variant uses a white chocolate coating (cocoa butter, whole milk powder, without cocoa mass) sweetened with maltitol — for a creamier, sweeter and lighter flavour. The inner soy puff is identical in both variants, and protein content (10g) is the same. The White Chocolate variant is marginally higher in calories (172 vs 166 kcal) due to slightly more fat in the white chocolate coating.

Q4 — Why does the nutrition table show 27g of carbohydrates but only 3.6g of sugars?

The majority of the carbohydrate content (approximately 21g) comes from maltitol — the polyol used as the primary sweetener in the chocolate coating. Under EU food labelling regulations, polyols are declared separately from sugars, and maltitol does not count as a "sugar" in the "of which sugars" declaration. The 3.6g of sugars comes from the naturally occurring sugars in the rice flour and soy components. The total carbohydrate figure (27g) includes both the 3.6g of sugars and the approximately 21g of maltitol polyols.

Q5 — Is the box of 12 more economical than individual bags?

Yes. The box of 12 provides a lower cost per bag than purchasing individually. At one bag per day, the box provides 12 days of supply — approximately 1.5 weeks of daily protein snacking.
