Costco’s protein aisle is getting a serious upgrade. From 30-gram shakes and protein-packed pasta to cottage cheese pancakes and smoked salmon snack trays, these are 15 high-protein Costco finds worth watching on your next warehouse run.
Prices and availability can vary by Costco warehouse and region.
1. Crepini Vanilla Cottage Cheese Protein Pancakes – About $12.99
Protein: 20g per 4 pancakes
These aren’t your ordinary frozen pancakes. Crepini combines cottage cheese, egg whites and oats for a breakfast that packs 20 grams of protein without requiring any mixing or meal prep. The texture is softer and more custardy than a traditional pancake, which shoppers seem to either love or need a little time to get used to.
2. FØRTE Chocolate Fudge Frozen Protein Bars – About $14.99
Protein: 10g per bar
Think fudgesicle with a protein boost. These frozen chocolate bars have been expanding into more Costco warehouses after first appearing in select regions, and their creamy, dessert-like texture is a big part of the appeal. They’re an especially fun option if regular chewy protein bars aren’t your thing.
3. Magic Spoon S’mores & Marshmallow Protein Treats – About $14.99 on Sale
Protein: About 12g per treat
Magic Spoon brings its high-protein formula into crispy marshmallow treats with a s’mores-inspired twist. They satisfy the craving for something sweet while offering substantially more protein than the average cereal bar. Costco’s larger box also makes them more practical for grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks.
4. PopCorners Protein Zesty Cheddar Crisps – About $5.89
Protein: 9g per serving
PopCorners recently moved into the protein-snack space, and the Zesty Cheddar variety has started appearing at Costco. They’re light and crunchy but carry a bold cheesy seasoning that has been compared to more indulgent snack chips. Nine grams of protein per serving gives them an edge over most traditional chips.
5. Khloud White Cheddar Protein Popcorn – About $7.89 on Sale
Protein: 7g per serving
Khloud takes something as simple as popcorn and turns it into a higher-protein snack without losing the salty, cheesy appeal. The White Cheddar flavor has been one of the brand’s most visible Costco offerings, and the warehouse-size bag gives snackers plenty to work through.
6. Honey Smoked Fish Co. Salmon Stackers – About $14.29
Protein: 13g per tray
One of the more interesting Costco snack finds combines smoked salmon, crackers and lemon-chive spread into individual snack trays. Shoppers have been especially enthusiastic about these online because they feel like a more grown-up version of a packaged lunch kit while still delivering a solid amount of protein.
7. Chobani 20g Protein Plain Greek Yogurt – About $4.69 on Sale
Protein: 20g per serving
This oversized tub is one of the easiest ways to add protein to breakfast without reaching for a shake or bar. It has no added sugar and delivers 20 grams of protein per serving. Add berries, granola, honey or nut butter if plain Greek yogurt feels a little too austere on its own.
8. Chomps Original Beef Sticks – About $18.99
Protein: 10g per stick
Chomps has become a Costco staple for shoppers who want something portable without needing refrigeration. Each stick contains 10 grams of protein and zero sugar, making it convenient for road trips, lunch boxes or the desk drawer. Costco also periodically discounts the large multipack, making those sale periods the best time to stock up.
9. Kodiak Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix – About $8.99 on Sale
Protein: About 14–15g per serving
Kodiak Power Cakes remain one of Costco’s easiest high-protein breakfast buys. The mix works for pancakes or waffles and gives you significantly more protein than traditional boxed pancake mixes. It is also easy to customize with fruit, cinnamon, chocolate chips or nut butter.
10. FITCRUNCH Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars – About $13.99 on Sale
Protein: 16g per bar
FITCRUNCH leans much closer to candy-bar territory than many classic protein bars. Layers of chocolate, peanut butter and crunch help disguise the usual dense protein-bar texture. They are definitely on the sweeter, more processed side, but that dessert-like quality is exactly why they have such a loyal following.
11. Fairlife Nutrition Plan Protein Shakes – About $45 for 18
Protein: 30g per bottle
Fairlife remains one of Costco shoppers’ most recognizable ready-to-drink protein options. Each bottle delivers 30 grams of protein with a smooth consistency that many people prefer over powder-based shakes. The downside is price—the Costco cases have gotten noticeably more expensive—but fans continue to seek them out.
12. Nurri Protein Shakes – About $24.99 for 15
Protein: 30g per bottle
Nurri has become an increasingly popular alternative for shoppers who like Fairlife but don’t love its price. Each bottle also provides 30 grams of protein, while Costco’s multipack usually costs considerably less per serving. Chocolate is widely available, while other flavors can vary by region.
13. Kirkland Signature Organic Extra Firm Tofu – About $6.69
Protein: 10g per serving
Costco’s tofu may not have flashy protein branding, but it’s one of the best-value plant-based protein picks in the warehouse. The multipack provides four large blocks that can be baked, air-fried, stir-fried or crumbled into bowls. Shoppers also regularly praise the extra-firm texture because it holds up well during cooking.
14. Kirkland Signature Egg White, Cheese Trio & Peppers Egg Bites – About $11
Protein: 11g per serving
These refrigerated egg bites offer a quick protein-heavy breakfast that takes only minutes to heat. They combine egg whites with cheese and peppers for an easy grab-and-go option. The texture is softer than café-style egg bites, but the convenience and Costco-sized pack make them appealing for busy mornings.
15. Al Dente Fusilli Protein Pasta – Costco.com
Protein: 30g per serving
One of the biggest protein numbers on this list comes from an unexpected place: pasta. Al Dente’s protein fusilli delivers 30 grams of protein along with 14 grams of fiber per serving. It’s a particularly useful find for anyone trying to build higher-protein dinners without relying on meat, shakes or snack bars.
Which Costco Protein Finds Are Worth Buying First?
For grab-and-go protein, Nurri, Fairlife and Chomps are the easiest choices. For breakfast, Crepini pancakes, Chobani Greek yogurt and Kodiak Power Cakes stand out. And if you’re tired of traditional protein bars and shakes, Salmon Stackers, PopCorners Protein Crisps and Al Dente Protein Pasta offer much more interesting ways to boost your intake.
Just keep in mind that Costco inventory can change quickly and several newer products are still regional, so your warehouse may not carry every item on this list.
