What are Näno Supps Protein Chips?
Näno Supps Protein Chips are a high-protein savoury snack developed by Näno Supps — a Swiss sports nutrition brand. Each 40g bag delivers approximately 8.5g of protein at just 162 kcal, from a base of rice flour, chickpea flour, pea protein and dehydrated potato — puffed rather than fried, making them significantly lower in fat than conventional potato chips.
The concept is direct: conventional potato chips provide approximately 2g of protein per 40g bag at 8 to 12g of fat and 200+ kcal. Näno Supps Protein Chips provide 8.5g of protein per 40g bag at 3g of fat and 162 kcal — without sacrificing the crunch, the flavour intensity or the satisfying snacking experience that makes chips one of the most consumed snack formats in the world.
The puffing process (air-popping rather than oil-frying) is key to the low fat profile. The chips are made by forcing the dough base through high-pressure heat to create an aerated, crispy structure — eliminating the need for oil submersion during cooking. The result is a chip that is genuinely crunchy and satisfying but retains only the sunflower oil added deliberately to the dough rather than absorbing it during frying.
Four flavours are stocked. Barbecue is built on a smoky paprika and tomato BBQ seasoning with caramelized sugar notes. Paprika delivers a classic Central European paprika chip experience — the benchmark flavour for the chip category. Sour Cream & Onion uses a whey and milk powder-based seasoning for a creamy, tangy profile (contains dairy — not vegan). Cheese uses a cheese paste seasoning for a strong, savory cheese chip character (contains dairy — not vegan). The Barbecue and Paprika variants are fully vegan; Sour Cream & Onion and Cheese are suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans.
Available individually or in a pack of 8 bags.
Popped. Not fried. 21% protein. Eat without compromise.

🥔 21% protein — 8.5g per 40g bag
At 21% protein by weight, Näno Supps Protein Chips deliver more than 4 times the protein of conventional potato chips at equivalent serving size. The protein comes from three complementary plant-based sources: chickpea flour (naturally high in plant protein), pea protein isolate and the protein contribution of rice flour — creating a complete amino acid profile from plant sources alone (in the Barbecue and Paprika variants).
💥 Popped not fried — low fat at genuine crunch
The air-puffing process produces the crunch of a conventional chip without the oil absorption of frying. At 3g of fat per 40g bag (compared to 8 to 12g for conventional chips), Protein Chips provide the snacking experience at less than a third of the fat load. The sunflower oil in the formula is present in the dough rather than absorbed during cooking.
🌱 Plant-based base — vegan-compatible (Barbecue and Paprika)
The base formula — rice flour, chickpea flour, dehydrated potato, pea protein, potato starch and sunflower oil — is entirely plant-based. Barbecue and Paprika are fully vegan. Sour Cream & Onion and Cheese contain dairy-derived ingredients (whey powder, milk powder, lactose, cheese powder) and are suitable for vegetarians only.
🚫 Only 162 kcal per bag — 0.8g of sugar
At 162 kcal per 40g bag and 0.8g of total sugar, Protein Chips are one of the lowest-sugar and lowest-calorie savoury snacks available at this protein level. The carbohydrate content (24.4g per bag) comes primarily from the complex starches of rice, chickpea and potato — not from added sugar.
🧅 Four classic chip flavours — genuine taste without compromise
Each flavour is built on a real seasoning blend with genuine spice and flavour extracts: real paprika extract, real tomato and smoke flavouring in BBQ, real whey and cheese powder in Sour Cream & Onion and Cheese. These are not artificially flavoured plain chips — each variant has a clearly distinct, intense flavour profile.

⚖️ Daily protein top-up: 1 bag/day. Replaces a conventional zero-protein chip snack with a meaningful protein contribution.
Serving suggestion
Open the bag and consume directly. No preparation required. Best consumed at room temperature. Once opened, consume promptly. Store in a cool, dry place up to 25°C, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Best times to enjoy it
☀️ Mid-morning or afternoon savoury snack
The Protein Chips are specifically designed for the savoury snack moment — the mid-morning or afternoon pause where a chip or crisp craving would otherwise be satisfied with a low-protein, high-fat conventional option. A bag of Protein Chips resolves that craving at 8.5g of protein and 3g of fat rather than zero protein and 10g+ of fat.
🏋️ Post-workout savoury alternative to sweet protein snacks
For athletes who prefer a savoury post-workout snack to a sweet protein bar or shake, Protein Chips provide a comparable protein contribution (8.5g) in a format that satisfies a completely different craving type.
🎉 Apéritif and social snacking
The chip format makes Protein Chips naturally suited to social snacking contexts — parties, apéritifs, pre-dinner snacks — where conventional high-fat chips are typically the default. Protein Chips provide a functionally superior alternative in the same format and eating context.
✈️ On the go
The 40g bag format is portable, generates no mess and requires no preparation — fits in any jacket pocket, gym bag or laptop bag.

Q1 — What does "popped not fried" mean and why does it matter?
Traditional chips are made by slicing potatoes and submerging them in hot oil — the frying process adds a large amount of fat (8 to 12g per 40g bag) as the oil is absorbed into the chip during cooking. Popping works differently: the chip dough is forced through high-pressure steam or heat, causing the water inside to vaporise and expand the chip structure into a crunchy, aerated form without oil submersion. The fat in Protein Chips (7% sunflower oil) is added to the dough before puffing and is not absorbed during cooking — giving the chips their low fat profile (3g per bag) while maintaining genuine crunch.
Q2 — Are all four flavours vegan?
No. Barbecue and Paprika are fully vegan — their seasoning blends contain only plant-derived ingredients (paprika, tomato, sugar, spices, yeast extract). Sour Cream & Onion contains whey powder, lactose and milk powder from dairy — not vegan. Cheese contains cheese paste components with dairy-derived ingredients — not vegan. Both Sour Cream & Onion and Cheese are suitable for vegetarians. If vegan compatibility is a requirement, choose Barbecue or Paprika.
Q3 — How does the protein content compare to conventional chips and other protein chip brands?
Conventional potato chips provide approximately 2g of protein per 40g bag — entirely from potato starch with no added protein source. Näno Supps Protein Chips provide 8.5g per 40g bag from chickpea flour, pea protein and rice flour — more than 4 times the protein at approximately 25% fewer calories and 75% less fat. Within the protein chip category, 21% protein by weight (8.5g per 40g) is competitive with the best-in-class products and significantly above most standard "high protein" crisp brands which typically achieve 10 to 15% protein.
Q4 — Is the pack of 8 more economical than individual bags?
Yes. The pack of 8 provides a lower cost per bag than purchasing individually. At one bag per day, the pack of 8 provides 8 days of supply — approximately one week of daily snacking.
Q5 — Can Protein Chips be used as a meal side dish?
Yes. The chip format integrates naturally as a side dish alongside sandwiches, wraps, salads or any meal where a crispy savoury accompaniment is appropriate. At 8.5g of protein and 162 kcal per 40g bag, they contribute meaningfully to daily protein targets when used as a meal accompaniment rather than a standalone snack.
