Shop Layered Family at Myprotein

Layered bars are built differently. Each one is carefully constructed with multiple distinct layers — different textures, different flavours, all working together in a single bar that delivers real protein alongside a genuinely enjoyable eating experience. Whether you're reaching for something after a session or looking for a smarter snack to have on hand, the Layered range gives you a bar worth looking forward to.

The range spans several formats, from the classic Layered Protein Bar with its 20g of protein¹ and six satisfying layers, to the Lean Layered Protein Bar for those keeping a closer eye on calories, plus Crispy Layered variants and collagen and EAA formats for those after something different. Developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists, each product is built with quality ingredients and a clear nutritional purpose.

Who Layered Bars Are For

If you train regularly and want a convenient source of protein that doesn't feel like a compromise, layered bars are made for you. They're the kind of thing that fits naturally into a busy routine — easy to pack, easy to enjoy, and nutritionally on point. Whether you lift weights, run, cycle, or just stay active, getting enough protein throughout the day matters, and a well-formulated bar makes that significantly easier.

They're equally at home for anyone who wants a more considered alternative to typical convenience snacks. You don't have to be deep in a training programme to appreciate a bar that's low in sugar, high in protein, and actually tastes like something you'd choose. If you've been hunting for a snack that ticks both boxes, the Layered range is built with that balance in mind.

When to Use Layered Family

Post-workout is an obvious fit. After training, many people reach for a protein source, and a layered bar is one of the most portable options going — no mixing, no fridge required. Toss one in your gym bag before you head out and it's ready when you are.

Beyond the gym, these bars work well as a mid-morning or afternoon snack when you want something more substantial than a piece of fruit but don't want to derail your nutrition. They're also a solid option for busy days when a proper meal isn't happening on schedule — a 20g protein¹ bar keeps things on track without much effort.

Layered Family Benefits

Real Protein in Every Bar

Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass¹, and these bars deliver it in meaningful amounts. The flagship Layered Protein Bar packs in 20g per bar — that's a serious contribution to your daily intake without any preparation required.

Multiple Formats for Different Goals

Not everyone wants the same thing from a bar. The Layered range covers a broad spectrum — from higher-protein options like the Layered Protein Bar to the lighter Lean Layered Protein Bar, plus collagen and EAA formats for those focused on different nutritional priorities. There's a format for most approaches.

Six Layers of Texture and Flavour

The layered construction isn't just a gimmick. Different layers create genuine textural contrast — crispy, chewy, creamy — that makes each bite more interesting than a standard single-texture bar. It's the kind of eating experience that makes sticking to your nutrition plan a lot easier.

Convenient and Portable

Every bar in the range is individually wrapped, shelf-stable, and ready to eat. No prep, no blending, no refrigeration. That portability makes the Layered range one of the most practical ways to keep protein intake consistent across a busy day.

FAQs

What is a layered protein bar?

A layered protein bar is a multi-textured snack bar built from several distinct layers — typically combining elements like a biscuit base, caramel or cream fillings, and a chocolate coating — formulated to deliver a meaningful amount of protein alongside an enjoyable eating experience. Unlike single-texture bars, the layered construction creates real contrast between crispy, chewy, and smooth components in every bite.

How much protein do layered bars contain?

Protein levels vary across the range. The Layered Protein Bar and Myprotein Layered Bar each contain 20g of protein per bar¹. The Lean Layered Protein Bar delivers 15g of protein at fewer than 140 calories — around 30% less than the standard Layered Bar — making it a useful option when calorie awareness is a priority.

What's the difference between the Layered Protein Bar and the Lean Layered Protein Bar?

The main distinction is calorie and protein content. The Layered Protein Bar delivers 20g of protein¹ across its six layers and is designed for those who want maximum protein per bar. The Lean Layered Protein Bar comes in at fewer than 140 calories with 15g of protein¹, making it the better fit if you're tracking intake closely or prefer a lighter snack. Both are built with the same layered construction and attention to flavour.

When is the best time to eat a layered protein bar?

Layered bars work well at several points in the day. Many people reach for one after training as a convenient protein source, while others use them as a mid-morning or afternoon snack to keep nutrition on track between meals. They're shelf-stable and individually wrapped, so they travel easily and are ready whenever you need them — no preparation required.

Are layered bars suitable as a meal replacement?

Layered bars are designed as high-protein snacks, not full meal replacements. They're best used to complement a balanced diet — filling gaps between meals or providing a post-workout protein source — rather than substituting for a complete meal. For structured calorie management, the Lean Layered Protein Bar at under 140 calories is the most practical option within the range.

What formats are available in the Layered range?

The Layered range includes several distinct products: the Layered Protein Bar and Myprotein Layered Bar (both with 20g protein and six layers), the Lean Layered Protein Bar (15g protein, under 140 calories), the Crispy Layered Protein Bar for a crunchier texture profile, plus Collagen Protein Powder and Impact EAA for those looking beyond bar formats. That range of options means there's something suited to most goals and preferences.

Who developed the Layered range?

The Layered range was developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists. Each product is formulated to balance genuine nutritional value with real eating enjoyment — a combination that's harder to achieve than it looks in a bar format. The result is a range where protein targets and taste aren't treated as opposing goals.

Are layered bars suitable for vegetarians?

Suitability varies by product. The best way to check is to review the full ingredient and allergen information on each individual product page, where dietary suitability is clearly listed. The range includes multiple flavours and formats, so there's a good chance a suitable option exists for most dietary preferences.

Can I eat a layered bar every day?

Layered bars fit comfortably into a daily routine for most active people. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass¹, and a bar is one of the most practical ways to keep daily protein intake consistent. As with any food, variety across your overall diet is worthwhile — but as a daily snack or post-workout option, these bars are well-suited to regular use.

Which layered bar should I choose if I'm new to the range?

The Layered Protein Bar is a strong starting point — six layers, 20g of protein¹, and a well-rounded eating experience that represents what the range does best. If you're watching calories, the Lean Layered Protein Bar is the smarter pick at under 140 calories with 15g of protein¹. Both give you a clear sense of what makes these bars different from a standard protein bar.
