Best High-Protein Snacks at Sprouts Farmers Market (2026): 7 Picks With Verified Nutrition, Ranked by Protein Per 100 Calories

Sprouts Farmers Market is America’s fastest-growing health-focused grocery chain — more than 400 stores across 24 states, roughly $8 billion in annual sales, and a national reputation as the go-to stop for shoppers who care as much about the ingredient list as the macro count. Unlike CVS, Walgreens, or Aldi, Sprouts is a full-format grocery store with a fresh dairy case, a refrigerated protein-shake section, a dedicated supplements and nutrition aisle, and a meat counter. Unlike Whole Foods, Sprouts aggressively prices its natural and organic products at a discount to the mainstream — the weekly Sprouts ad runs Wednesday-to-Wednesday and features deep cuts on produce, meat, and packaged health foods, including regular deals on Premier Protein multipacks, RxBar, and Chomps. Sprouts tends to carry a wider selection of clean-label, grass-fed, and non-GMO protein brands than any mainstream chain — siggi’s skyr, RxBar, Chomps, and Country Archer are flagship Sprouts proteins that receive endcap and eye-level placement. All nutrition figures below are from each brand’s 2026 published nutrition panel (premierprotein.com, siggis.com, oikos.com, archerjerky.com, questnutrition.com, chomps.com, rxbar.com); prices are current Sprouts shelf pricing and vary by location, week, and any active Sprouts promotions.

The 7 Best High-Protein Snacks at Sprouts: Quick Comparison

All figures below are per standard single serving from verified brand nutrition panels. Ranked by protein per 100 calories. Prices are current Sprouts shelf pricing and vary by location, week, and Sprouts promotions.

Pick #1: Premier Protein Chocolate Shake — 30g Protein at 160 Calories

Premier Protein Chocolate Shake, 11.5 fl oz

30g protein · 160 cal · 1g sugar (0g added) · 3g fat · 24 vitamins & minerals · ~$2.67 / bottle at Sprouts

Premier Protein Chocolate is the strongest single-serve protein shake Sprouts stocks by protein-per-calorie efficiency and the most widely distributed shelf-stable ready-to-drink shake in the US market. Each 11.5 fl oz bottle delivers 30g of protein at 160 calories, 3g total fat (1g saturated), 5g total carbs, 1g total sugar (0g added), 3g of fiber, and 24 added vitamins and minerals — an 18.75g-per-100-calorie ratio that leads every snack on the Sprouts shelf. The protein blend is milk protein concentrate plus calcium caseinate — both complete dairy proteins that skew casein-forward (slower-digesting), which makes Premier a solid pick for a between-meals or pre-bed shake and a moderate pick for a fast post-workout hit. Sweeteners are sucralose and acesulfame potassium. Sprouts stocks Premier Protein Chocolate, Vanilla, Caramel, and Chocolate Peanut Butter in the nutrition aisle; the Café Latte flavor carries about 95mg of caffeine per bottle (roughly one cup of coffee) and is worth checking the label before an afternoon or evening snack. Sprouts runs its weekly ad Wednesday-to-Wednesday and frequently features Premier Protein multipacks on promotion — the 12-pack at regular price runs about $31.99 (~$2.67 per bottle), competitive with Target and well below most CVS or Walgreens single-bottle stickers.

Pick #2: siggi’s 0% Plain Skyr — 17g Protein at 100 Calories, No Artificial Sweeteners

siggi’s 0% Plain Skyr, 5.3 oz cup

17g protein · 100 cal · 5g sugar (0g added) · 0g fat · no artificial sweeteners · ~$2.49 / cup at Sprouts

See it at Sprouts →

Refrigerated dairy case at every Sprouts. Prefer online? Compare on Amazon →

siggi’s 0% Plain Skyr is the refrigerated protein pick that Sprouts is best known for and one of the most protein-dense single-serve dairy products sold in a mainstream US grocery store. Each 5.3oz (150g) cup delivers 17g of complete dairy protein at 100 calories, 0g of fat, 5g of naturally occurring milk sugar (no added sugar), and no artificial sweeteners of any kind — no stevia, no sucralose, no erythritol, no monk fruit. The Icelandic skyr-making process strains out roughly two-thirds of the liquid whey, concentrating both protein and flavor into a thick, dense cup that is meaningfully firmer than conventional Greek yogurt. At 17g per 100 calories, siggi’s Plain beats Oikos Triple Zero (16.67g per 100 cal) and approaches FAGE Total 0% territory on protein density, making it one of the two or three strongest protein-per-calorie fresh foods you can buy at a grocery store. It is also the most protein-dense cup with zero artificial sweeteners in the US market — every comparably protein-dense competitor (Two Good, Oikos Triple Zero, Chobani Zero Sugar) uses stevia, allulose, or sucralose to reach near-zero sugar while siggi’s reaches 17g without any of them. siggi’s is stocked at virtually every Sprouts location, often in its own branded cold section with the full flavor lineup from Plain to seasonal limited editions. The 0% Plain cup runs about $2.49 at Sprouts, putting the per-gram protein cost at roughly $0.15 per gram — among the best values on the Sprouts dairy case for real-food protein.

Pick #3: Oikos Triple Zero Strawberry Greek Yogurt — 15g Protein at 90 Calories

Oikos Triple Zero Strawberry Greek Yogurt, 5.3 oz cup (4-pack)

15g protein · 90 cal · 5g sugar (0g added) · 0g fat · stevia & monk fruit · ~$5.49 / 4-pack at Sprouts

See it at Sprouts →

Refrigerated dairy case at every Sprouts. Prefer online? Compare on Amazon →

Oikos Triple Zero Strawberry is the leanest flavored Greek yogurt cup at Sprouts and the most protein-efficient sweetened refrigerated snack on the shelf. Each 5.3oz cup delivers 15g of complete dairy protein at 90 calories — a 16.67g-per-100-calorie ratio that lands just below siggi’s Plain in protein density but earns its place for shoppers who want a flavored cup over plain. The “triple zero” name refers to 0% fat, 0g added sugars, and 0 artificial sweeteners of the sucralose/aspartame variety: the sweetener panel is stevia leaf extract and monk fruit, and the 5g of total sugar is naturally occurring lactose from the milk and fruit. Protein comes from a blend of nonfat milk, milk protein concentrate, and whey protein concentrate — all complete dairy proteins. The Strawberry flavor runs about $5.49 for a 4-pack at Sprouts (~$1.37 per cup), making the per-gram protein cost roughly $0.09 per gram. Oikos Triple Zero is one of the most consistently stocked yogurts at Sprouts across the full flavor lineup — Strawberry, Vanilla, Blueberry, and seasonal flavors all appear at most locations. The distinction between siggi’s and Oikos at Sprouts: siggi’s Plain uses zero sweeteners of any kind (not even stevia), while Oikos Triple Zero uses stevia and monk fruit to achieve zero added sugar in a flavored cup. If you want flavored with no artificial sweeteners, siggi’s flavored line uses only cane sugar; if you want flavored with zero added sugar, Oikos Triple Zero is the answer.

Pick #4: Country Archer Original Beef Jerky — 9g Protein, 70 Calories, Best Protein Density of Any Jerky at Sprouts

Country Archer Original Beef Jerky, 2.5 oz bag

9g protein / 1 oz · 70 cal / 1 oz · 4g sugar · 0.5g fat · 420mg sodium · ~$5.99 / 2.5 oz bag at Sprouts

See it at Sprouts →

Snack and jerky aisle at most Sprouts. Prefer online? Compare on Amazon →

Country Archer Original Beef Jerky is the flat-jerky standout at Sprouts and the highest-protein-density flat jerky on the Sprouts shelf at 12.86g of protein per 100 calories. Each 1oz (28g) serving delivers 9g of protein at 70 calories, 0.5g of fat, 4g of total sugar, and 420mg of sodium — a protein ratio that beats most protein bars in the store calorie-for-calorie, in a flat-jerky format that travels well without refrigeration. Country Archer uses 100% grass-fed beef and a short marinade of soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and spices; the flavor is savory-sweet with a lightly chewable texture that sits between snack bar and traditional jerky. The 4g of sugar per ounce is worth noting — this is not a zero-sugar product like Chomps, and shoppers strictly limiting sugar should compare it against the Chomps Beef Stick (#6 in this guide) which has 0g of sugar and 0g of carbs. Country Archer is a Sprouts brand staple and receives prominent placement in most locations; the 2.5oz bag runs about $5.99 at Sprouts, competitive with what Target charges. For the comparison between flat jerky and beef sticks — nutrition, portability, and price — see our Country Archer vs Chomps head-to-head and the full beef jerky reviews for 2026.

Pick #5: Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bar — 21g Protein, 12g Fiber, 1g Sugar

Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bar, 60g

21g protein · 190 cal · 1g sugar · 12g fiber · 6g sugar alcohols · ~$2.79 / bar single at Sprouts

See it at Sprouts →

Nutrition & bar aisle at most Sprouts locations. Prefer online? Compare on Amazon →

Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is the highest-fiber high-protein bar Sprouts stocks in any mainstream format and the leading engineered protein bar in the natural-grocery channel. Each 60g bar delivers 21g of complete dairy protein (milk protein isolate plus whey protein isolate — no collagen) at 190 calories, 12g of fiber (soluble corn fiber), 1g of sugar, and 9g of total fat, sweetened with erythritol and stevia plus a trace of sucralose. The 11.05g-per-100-calorie ratio and the 12g of fiber are the meaningful numbers: most 20g-plus protein bars run 3–5g of fiber, so Quest holds a reader noticeably longer as a stand-alone snack. Sprouts stocks Quest in its full flavor lineup — Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cookies & Cream, Birthday Cake, and Peanut Butter Brownie Smash all appear at most locations; the bar section often has an expanded Quest display with less common SKUs that do not always make it to CVS or Walgreens. Single-bar pricing at Sprouts runs about $2.79, roughly on par with Walmart and below the ~$3.29 CVS single-bar sticker. A note on the sweetener profile: Quest uses erythritol (a sugar alcohol that some people find digestively uncomfortable in large amounts) as its primary bulking sweetener; the 6g of sugar alcohols on the label all come from erythritol. Buyers sensitive to sugar alcohols may prefer the RxBar option at Pick #7. Full ranking against every other bar in our best protein bars of 2026 guide and the head-to-head with ONE Bar in our Quest vs ONE Bar comparison.

Pick #6: Chomps Original Grass-Fed Beef Stick — 10g Protein, 0g Sugar, 0g Carbs

Chomps Original Grass-Fed & Finished Beef Stick, 1.15 oz (8-pack)

10g protein · 100 cal · 0g sugar · 0g carbs · 380mg sodium · ~$19.99 / 8-pack at Sprouts

See it at Sprouts →

Snack aisle at most Sprouts. Prefer online? Buy the Chomps 10-pack on Amazon →

Chomps Original is the cleanest-label shelf-stable protein snack at Sprouts — the only pick in this guide with 0g of sugar AND 0g of carbohydrates in a format that fits in a pocket. Each 1.15oz (32g) stick delivers 10g of complete protein from 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef at 100 calories, with 7g total fat (3g saturated), 0g sugar, 0g carbs, and 380mg sodium. The ingredient list is genuinely short: grass-fed beef, water, sea salt, encapsulated lactic acid, cultured celery powder (a natural preservative), black pepper, red pepper, garlic powder, and coriander — no synthetic nitrates or nitrites, no MSG, no gluten, no sugar. Chomps is one of Sprouts’ anchor clean-label snack brands, consistently receiving endcap placement and featured ad pricing; the 8-pack at about $19.99 ($2.50 per stick) frequently appears in the Sprouts weekly ad at a reduced price. Unlike Country Archer’s flat-jerky format, Chomps are individually wrapped sticks that travel better in a gym bag or car. For the comparison between the two — including which is more protein-dense per calorie — see our Country Archer vs Chomps head-to-head and full nutrition breakdown in our Chomps nutrition facts guide.

Pick #7: RxBar Chocolate Sea Salt — 12g Protein, Six Whole-Food Ingredients, No Artificial Sweeteners

RXBAR Chocolate Sea Salt, 52g

12g protein · 210 cal · 13g sugar (from dates) · 8g fat · 5g fiber · ~$1.70 / bar in the 10-pack at Sprouts

See it at Sprouts →

Bar aisle at every Sprouts — often a dedicated RxBar section. Prefer online? Buy RXBAR Chocolate Sea Salt on Amazon →

RXBAR Chocolate Sea Salt ranks last in this guide on protein-per-calorie (5.71g per 100 cal) but earns its place for two reasons: it is the most prominent bar at Sprouts by shelf space — most locations give RxBar an entire endcap with every SKU — and it is the only bar in this guide built entirely from whole-food ingredients with no protein isolates, no artificial sweeteners, and no synthetic additives. Each 52g bar delivers 12g of protein from egg whites (a complete, fast-absorbing protein), 210 calories, 13g of naturally occurring sugar from Medjool dates (not added cane sugar), 5g of fiber, and 8g of total fat from cashews and almonds. The label reads: dates, egg whites, cashews, almonds, cocoa, sea salt — six base ingredients. RXBAR is not a high-protein bar by the standards of the other picks in this guide; for maximum protein per calorie, Quest or a protein shake is a stronger pick. RXBAR earns its place for the buyer who specifically wants 12g of real-food protein with no sucralose, no erythritol, no stevia, no protein isolates — exactly the profile the Sprouts shopper tends to prioritize. Sprouts typically stocks the full RxBar flavor lineup (Chocolate Sea Salt, Peanut Butter, Blueberry, Coconut Chocolate, Apple Cinnamon Raisin, Mixed Berry, and seasonal SKUs) in a way that Walgreens, CVS, or Aldi cannot match. The 10-count box runs about $16.99 at Sprouts (~$1.70 per bar), below the ~$3.29–$3.49 CVS and Walgreens single-bar sticker. Full label breakdown in our RXBAR nutrition facts guide and the comparison with KIND Protein Bar in our KIND vs RXBAR head-to-head.

Where Sprouts Beats the Mainstream Chains — and Where It Falls Short

Where Sprouts wins outright: Sprouts carries the broadest clean-label, grass-fed, and specialty protein-brand selection of any mainstream US grocery chain and is the clearest alternative to Whole Foods for health-focused protein shoppers who want to pay less. The brand depth is real: Chomps, RxBar, Country Archer, siggi’s, and GoMacro all receive featured placement that most Kroger, Target, or Walmart locations cannot match. Sprouts’ weekly ad Wednesday-to-Wednesday promotions frequently feature significant price cuts on Premier Protein multipacks, Chomps, RxBar boxes, and Quest bars; a shopper who checks the Sprouts app or website before a weekly trip can regularly bring premium natural-brand protein costs down to or below mainstream-store levels. The refrigerated dairy section at Sprouts tends to stock a wider siggi’s flavor lineup than most Kroger or Publix locations, including seasonal cups and the plant-based siggi’s Coconut Blend line. For keto, paleo, and whole-food protein shoppers, Sprouts is the strongest single-stop option in most metro areas that do not have a Whole Foods nearby.

Where Sprouts falls short: Sprouts regularly-priced packaged protein tends to run 8–15% above equivalent Walmart, Target, or Kroger stickers on national brands like Premier Protein and Quest when no promotion is running. The per-bottle Premier Protein price at Sprouts (~$2.67 in the 12-pack at regular price) is roughly on par with Target but meaningfully above the ~$2.23 H-E-B price or Walmart multipack math. Sprouts does not carry the deepest Pure Protein or ONE Bar selection — those more value-oriented engineered bars are more reliably found at Walmart, Kroger, or CVS. Sprouts also does not offer a warehouse-club bulk option; Sam’s Club and Costco beat Sprouts on per-unit Premier Protein and Quest pricing when buying 18- and 24-count cases. Finally, Sprouts is not yet a national chain — with around 400 stores concentrated on the West Coast, Southwest, and Southeast, significant portions of the Midwest and Northeast have no Sprouts access at all.

Sprouts Tips for High-Protein Snacking

• Check the Sprouts weekly ad before you shop — Sprouts runs its sales Wednesday-to-Wednesday and the protein section rotates regularly. Premier Protein 12-packs, Chomps multipack boxes, RxBar 10-count boxes, and Quest variety packs all cycle through the ad. Prices during a Sprouts featured sale can match or beat Walmart on the same SKU. The ad is available at sprouts.com and in the Sprouts app.
• Buy Chomps and RxBar in multipacks, not singles — both products are priced significantly better in their multipack formats than as single items. The RxBar 10-pack at ~$16.99 ($1.70 per bar) is about half the per-bar cost of a single bar at CVS or Walgreens. The Chomps 8-pack at ~$19.99 ($2.50 per stick) beats the single-stick sticker at any pharmacy chain.
• siggi’s 0% Plain is the highest-protein dairy pick in the store — At 17g of protein for 100 calories and about $2.49 per cup, siggi’s Plain delivers roughly $0.15 per gram of protein from fresh, real food with a three-ingredient label. If the goal is protein efficiency with no artificial sweeteners, this is the correct Sprouts dairy pick.
• Use Country Archer jerky as a meal-gap fill, not a meal replacement — At 9g of protein per ounce and 70 calories, Country Archer covers a small protein gap well, but the 4g of sugar and 420mg of sodium per ounce mean it is more useful as a midday snack than a post-workout recovery protein. For zero-sugar shelf-stable protein, Chomps delivers a cleaner label at the cost of slightly lower protein density per calorie.
• The Sprouts bulk bins are a hidden protein source — Many Sprouts locations carry bulk nuts and seeds (almonds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds) at lower per-pound prices than the packaged versions on the shelf. Hemp seeds and pumpkin seeds offer plant-based complete-ish protein at 5–8g per ounce; almonds deliver 6g per ounce. These are not high-protein foods by the standards of this guide, but they are useful calorie-dense protein complements to a protein shake or yogurt cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the highest-protein snack at Sprouts Farmers Market?

By protein per calorie, Premier Protein Chocolate Shake (30g at 160 calories = 18.75g per 100 calories) is the most protein-efficient single-serve snack stocked at Sprouts. By absolute protein per serving, Premier Protein and Fairlife Core Power Elite Chocolate 42g — when stocked — both lead the Sprouts refrigerated section. By protein per dollar at regular price, siggi’s 0% Plain (17g for ~$2.49 = about $0.15 per gram of protein) delivers strong value from a whole-food dairy source with no artificial sweeteners.

Does Sprouts carry RxBar in all flavors?

Yes. Sprouts is one of the few US grocery chains that stocks the full RxBar flavor lineup at a consistent depth, including less common SKUs like Coconut Chocolate, Apple Cinnamon Raisin, Mixed Berry, and seasonal limited-edition flavors that do not make it to most CVS, Walgreens, or Kroger locations. Most Sprouts locations give RxBar dedicated endcap or eye-level shelf placement in the bar aisle. The 10-count box at ~$16.99 (~$1.70 per bar) is the best per-bar value for RxBar at Sprouts; singles run higher per bar.

Is Sprouts more expensive than Whole Foods for protein snacks?

Generally no — Sprouts is meaningfully less expensive than Whole Foods on most packaged protein brands. The Sprouts weekly Wednesday-to-Wednesday ad includes regular featured prices on Premier Protein, Chomps, RxBar, and Quest that routinely beat Whole Foods’ everyday shelf pricing. For produce and some specialty dairy items, Whole Foods may have deeper selection, but for the protein-focused national brands in this guide, Sprouts tends to win on sticker price and especially on sale-ad pricing.

Does Sprouts carry siggi’s yogurt in the plain version?

Yes. siggi’s 0% Plain Skyr is one of the most consistently stocked items across the Sprouts dairy case. Most locations carry the 5.3oz single-serve cup and many carry the larger 24oz tub format as well. The plain version at Sprouts runs about $2.49 per 5.3oz cup; the 24oz tub is a meaningfully better value at roughly $7.99–$8.49 per tub (~$1.77 per 5.3oz equivalent). For the full siggi’s lineup including the 2% milkfat, lower sugar, and plant-based Coconut Blend lines, see our siggi’s nutrition facts guide.

What protein bars does Sprouts carry?

Sprouts stocks a broad bar selection that skews toward clean-label and specialty brands. Consistently stocked options include RxBar (full flavor lineup), Quest (most flavors), Chomps (beef and turkey varieties), KIND Protein, GoMacro, Perfect Bar (refrigerated), Epic Bars (meat-based), and Larabar. More mainstream engineered bars like Pure Protein and ONE Bar are available but may not receive the same consistent floor or endcap placement as the clean-label brands. For the strongest bar options on protein efficiency, Quest is the top pick; for ingredient quality, RxBar. For full details, see our best protein bars of 2026 guide.
