Summary
SuperYou Protein Wafers provide a delightful crunch, 10g of protein per serving, and balanced sweetness. However, the ingredient list demands a lot of improvement.
Nikunj and Ranveer Singh, the co-founders of SuperYou, are on a mission to simplify protein. By harnessing the power of bio-fermentation, SuperYou protein wafers are infused with fermented yeast protein. This offers the same effectiveness as animal-based proteins like whey but with a unique blend of strength, flavor, and sustainability. We tested all four flavors of SuperYou Protein Wafers for their crunch, taste, and nutri-label.
Are they as protein-packed and healthy as they sound? Let’s dive into our review to see if SuperYou Protein Wafers can be your next perfect protein snack!

SuperYou Protein Wafers- Detailed Review
Nutritional Information
The table below details the per-serve information on the nutrition label for Superyou Protein Wafers:
| Nutritional Parameters /Variants | Strawberry Creme | Cheese | Choco Peanut Butter | Chocolate |
| Energy | 186.4 kcal | 186.4 kcal | 186.4 kcal | 186.4 kcal |
| Protein | 10 gm | 10 gm | 10 gm | 10 gm |
| Dietary Fiber | 3.04 gm | 3.04 gm | 3.04 gm | 3.04 gm |
| Total Sugar | 3.54 gm | 3.54 gm | 3.54 gm | 3.54 gm |
SuperYou Protein Wafers deliver crunch and balanced sweetness, with enjoyable flavors. However, the ingredient list is a drawback. While it is devoid of white sugar, it is packed with artificial sweeteners and hydrogenated fats. This makes it far from a clean or healthy option.
Source of Protein Used
Protein Blend (Fermented Nutritional Yeast Protein (22%) + Milk Solids) refers to a combination of two different protein sources used in the product. Here’s what each component means:
- Fermented Nutritional Yeast Protein (22%): Nutritional yeast is a vegan, plant-based protein derived from yeast that has been fermented.
- Milk Solids: This refers to the dried form of milk, which is typically composed of milk proteins (such as casein and whey), lactose, and sometimes minerals.
The source of fat is not great, neither is the source of protein. This also has INS 965 which is Maltitol, a commonly used artificial sweetener. Some use colors and artificial flavorings as well.
We rated the product a 1 mark on the nutrition label solely because it fulfills the 10 gm protein per serve claim. The ingredient list definitely needs improvement.
Also for a snack that claims to be high in protein, the carbohydrate content is relatively high. This is concerning for those looking to control their carb intake.
These protein wafers could work as a biscuit replacement but not as a reliable protein snack.
