N!CK'S Protein Wafer Sport Mix, 25% Protein, Gluten-Free, 9 x 40g

For a handy snack after exercise or between meals, the N!CK'S Protein Wafer Sport Mix offers a crunchy wafer in a chocolate coating. The box contains nine 40g bars across four flavours. Each bar provides 10g of protein and 10 vitamins. The product is marked as discontinued by the manufacturer, so availability may vary.

Key features

This is a mixed box rather than a single-flavour pack: it contains three chocolate bars and two each of hazelnut, vanilla and orange. The bars are suitable for vegetarians and are described as gluten- and wheat-free. They have no added sugar, but that does not mean they are sugar-free: the supplied nutrition information lists 3.7g of sugars per bar.

The 25% protein content makes these more substantial than a standard chocolate wafer, while their crisp format is easy to carry for a break at work, during a trip or around a workout. They are still a snack, not a substitute for a varied diet, the product information also recommends eating fruit and vegetables throughout the day.

Buyer feedback is positive on flavour, with some highlighting the wafer texture and lack of an aftertaste. Opinions on value are mixed, so the appeal is likely to depend on whether the protein and vitamin content, as well as the assorted flavours, matter to you.

Usage tips

Keep a bar in a bag or desk drawer for a convenient option when you want something sweet between meals. The different flavours offer a little variety across the box, while the crisp wafer gives it a different feel from a soft protein bar or a plain chocolate snack.

Each bar supplies 10g of protein. If you are looking for a larger protein serving, one bar may not cover that need on its own, it is better considered as a snack than as a complete post-workout meal. It makes sense if you want a portable, gluten-free wafer with some protein and no added sugar. Not the best choice if you need a higher-protein portion from one snack or specifically want a sugar-free product.

What to clarify

What flavours are included? The box has three chocolate bars, plus two each of hazelnut, vanilla and orange.

How much protein is in each bar? The product information lists 10g per 40g wafer, with 25% protein.

Does no added sugar mean sugar-free? No. The supplied nutrition information lists 3.7g of sugars per bar, so the two claims are not interchangeable.

Is it worth it?

This mix is worth considering if you enjoy crisp, chocolate-coated wafers and want a portable snack with 10g of protein per bar, rather than a conventional sweet with no stated protein content. The range of flavours may suit anyone who prefers variety in a multipack. Bear in mind that one bar is a modest protein serving, and the manufacturer marks the product as discontinued, which may affect how readily it can be found. If you need a larger protein portion or a reliably ongoing product, a different format may be a better fit.
