The one that
isn't chocolate.
Every protein snack on the shelf is chocolate, cookies-and-cream or vanilla. This one is tart lemon cream, built on real lemon juice powder with added vitamin C — and the same 10g of protein from soy and milk isolate.
Five sheets, four layers of filling.
The protein does not go into the wafer sheets — it goes into the cream between them. That is why the sheets stay thin and snap instead of going dense and chewy the way a protein biscuit does.
In the lemon version the filling also carries lemon juice powder at 3.2% and a little citric acid, which is where the tartness comes from rather than from flavouring alone.
Cut one in half and you can count the layers. That is the photo above, not a render.

Tart, not sherbet.
Real lemon juice powder makes up 3.2% of the wafer, with citric acid behind it. It reads as lemon curd rather than lemon lolly — sharp at the front, creamy underneath.
There is also vitamin C added directly to the recipe, and a trace of cinnamon extract that you will not identify but that stops the citrus being one-note.
This is the one to buy if chocolate protein snacks have worn you out. It is also the better one in the heat — a tart wafer works at 35 degrees in a way a chocolate one does not.
Vitamin C is in the ingredient list but is not declared as a quantity on the current nutrition panel, so we are not putting a milligram figure on it.
More protein isolate than sugar.
This is the number that separates a protein snack from a biscuit with a claim on the front. Here is the share of the finished product each part takes up, straight off the manufacturing specification.
Isolated soy protein
12.8%
Milk protein isolate
12.2%
Both isolates
24.9%
Sugar
12.5%
Percentages are of the whole product by weight, from the manufacturer's specification sheet dated 9 March 2026. Both isolates are complete proteins, meaning each contains all nine essential amino acids.
41 grams. 10g of it protein.
One pack is one serve. There is no scooping, mixing or measuring — it is a wafer.
The base is wheat flour and shortening, the same as any wafer. What changes is the filling: isolated soy protein and milk protein isolate, plus lemon juice powder and vitamin C.
It contains wheat, gluten, milk and soy. All four, unavoidably — the sheets are wheat and the filling is soy and dairy protein. Worth knowing before you order.
Made in South Korea to HACCP-certified standards. May also contain egg, peanuts, sulphites and molluscs.
The 3pm problem, mostly.
The 3pm drawer
The realistic alternative at 3pm is a chocolate bar or nothing. This is the version with 10g of protein in it.
After the gym
Not a meal and not a shake — something to eat on the walk to the car when dinner is still an hour away.
In the bag
A flat 41g pack. It does not melt, does not need a fridge, and does not get crushed like a bar.
It is a snack, not a meal replacement. One pack is around 200 Calories and 10g of protein — enough to stop you raiding the kitchen, not enough to be lunch.
Against the things you would actually buy instead.
A protein bar
Usually more protein — often 15–20g — and usually denser and chewier. If you want the highest protein per dollar, buy a bar. People choose a wafer because they want something crisp and light that does not feel like a supplement.
A normal wafer bar
Cheaper, and honestly the texture is the same idea. The difference is what is in it: here the two protein isolates are a bigger share of the recipe than the sugar is. In a confectionery wafer that ratio is the other way round.
Nothing
A real option, and free. But the 3pm snack most people actually reach for is not nothing — so the comparison that matters is this against whatever is in the vending machine.
Protein figures for bars are a general market range, not a measurement of a specific competitor — check the panel on whatever you are comparing.
★★★★★
Nice tangy taste for a break from chocolate based snacks. 10g of protein without guilt.

One flat pack. Nothing to wash.
A single sealed 41g pack, about the footprint of a phone and a lot thinner. It lives in a drawer, a glovebox or the side pocket of a bag.
Nothing melts and nothing needs refrigerating, which matters more for this one than you would think — it is the flavour people keep in the car for summer.
Both flavours are the same price. Only the 10-pack changes it.
Questions answered.
How much vitamin C is in it?
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is added directly to the recipe and appears in the ingredient list. It is not declared as a quantity on the nutrition panel, so we are not going to print a milligram number we cannot point at. If you are buying it specifically as a vitamin C source, buy it for the lemon flavour and treat the vitamin C as a bonus.
Is it sour?
Tart rather than sour. Real lemon juice powder is 3.2% of the product with citric acid behind it, so it has an actual citrus edge — closer to lemon curd than to a lemon lolly. If you want mild and familiar, the Choco is the one.
What allergens are in it?
It contains wheat, gluten, milk and soy — all four. The wafer sheet is wheat flour and the filling is built on soy protein isolate and milk protein isolate, so there is no version of this product without them. It is made on a line that also handles egg, peanuts, sulphites and molluscs (oyster), so the precautionary statement covers those too. Not suitable if you are coeliac, dairy-free, soy-free or vegan.
Is it actually a protein snack, or a biscuit with a claim on it?
Fair question, and the recipe answers it. Soy protein isolate and milk protein isolate together are about a quarter of the whole product by weight — a bigger share than the sugar. That is what gets you to 10g of protein in a 41g pack. It is still a treat with fat and sugar in it; it is just not a wafer with a scoop of protein dusted on top.
Does it taste chalky?
Not in the way a lot of protein wafers do. The protein sits in the cream filling rather than in the wafer sheets, and the sheets stay thin and crisp. If you have written off protein wafers on texture before, this is a different build.
Why two proteins instead of one?
Soy isolate and milk isolate are both complete proteins on their own — they each contain all nine essential amino acids. LABNOSH blends them for taste and texture as much as anything: milk protein isolate is what keeps the filling smooth. We are not going to make an absorption claim about the blend; the useful fact is the 10g on the panel.
Is it vegan?
No — milk protein isolate is one of the main ingredients. If you want a plant-based option, the yohemite Daily Protein Shake is pea-protein based and certified vegan.
Does it melt or get crushed?
It is a dry wafer in a flat sealed pack, so nothing melts. It can break if you sit on it — the pieces still taste the same, but if you want something that survives a jersey pocket on a long ride, a bar handles that better.
