FAQ
-
Takeaways is the first craveable, savory snack bar: the flavor of a salty indulgence with the macro profile and portability of a bar.
Made from puffed milk and real cheese, each bar delivers 12 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber in a 120-calorie, on-the-go, clean-fingered snack format.
-
Because some of us have a salt tooth, and there isn’t a clean-fingered, macro-dense snack for us.
 
Takeaways is a savory indulgence made with real cheese, so you can satiate those salty cravings and hit your protein goals.
-
Every other protein bar on the shelf either tastes like or actually is a cookie-dough chemistry experiment. Takeaways is for when you aren’t craving birthday cake, brownie fudge, or any other sugar bomb. Or if you don’t want to teach your kids that candy bars are healthy.
Similar macros, same protein goals, completely different eating experience.
-
Meat sticks are dried meat. Takeaways are puffed milk with real cheese. Different flavors, different texture, same macros.
 
Meat sticks are great when you want jerky. Takeaways are great when you want something more substantial, less salty-leathery, and not made of dehydrated meat scraps.
-
Two words: clean fingers.
-
We're not the highest-protein bar on the shelf. We're the highest protein-per-calorie bar with a savory profile, and that's the lane we built.
-
Takeaways is mother-daughter founded and -owned. Born of personal need (Ash, Takeaways CEO, struggled to hit her protein goal with a salt tooth and an overscheduled day), countless recipes in our kitchens in Washington and California, and more friends-and-family taste tests than we can count (we owe you all big time!).

Cheesy, indulgent, and nostalgic.
White Cheddar tastes like sharp cheddar popcorn in bar form.
Cheese Pizza is closer to actual pizza than it has any right to be.
Pepper Jack is jalapeño popper meets cheese stick, with real heat.
All of them taste like a happy dance in a wrapper, if you ask us.
-
You’ve gotta try it because it is unique. It’s puffed and light, with a bit of crispiness, while still being a bit chewy. The perfect savory flavor vehicle, if you ask us.
-
If you’re asking, you should probably start with the Sampler: it’s got something for everyone, and that way you can pick your favorite for yourself.
If you want to start with just one flavor, take the quiz below to decide what yours might be:
It's 3 PM. You're hungry. What do you actually want?
1. A sharp piece of cheddar and a cracker
2. Cold leftover pizza, no shame
3. Something with kick: a slice of pepperoni, a spicy pickle, hot sauce on whatever's around
4. All of the above, simultaneously, while standing in front of the fridge
 
On a scale of "ranch dressing" to "Carolina Reaper," where are you?
1. Ranch dressing. I like flavor, not pain
2. Sriracha on most things, hot honey on the rest
3. I keep a bottle of habanero hot sauce in my bag at all times
4. Depends on the day: I match the heat to my mood
 
What was your favorite snack to find in your lunchbox as a kid?
1. Goldfish
2. Combos
3. Takis
4. I packed my own because I always wanted something different
 
Count your answers.
 
Score 3-5: go with White Cheddar. 6-8: Cheese Pizza. 9-10: Pepper Jack. 11-12: we still think you should start with the Sampler, you’re not a one-flavor person.
-
Pepper Jack’s got heat. With real jalapeno, it packs a proper kick. If you’re not a spice lover, White Cheddar and Cheese Pizza are for you.
-
However and whenever you want: at your desk, in your car, after a workout, before a meeting, in a lunchbox, or before a round of drinks.
 
If you want to get fancy, they go great with cured meat, tinned fish, and cottage cheese. If you want to get wild, we’ve been known to pair them with a cocktail.
-
Most people eat 1-2 in a day, and that's the sweet spot: enough to hit the protein and satiety, not so many that you're replacing real meals.
A 1-box subscription could be enough for a single person who mixes up being on the go and at home.
For overscheduled single households or households of 2-3, definitely go with a 3-box subscription and save the $50.
For households of 4 or more, the 5-box subscription is the move, particularly as you’ll save $100 per month.
-
People who like cheese.
 
People who aren’t always in the mood for frosting-flavored protein.
 
People who get hungry between meals and crave a savory indulgence.
 
People who could use a bit more protein but only ever want to eat pizza.
-
Yes, and we made Takeaways with kids in mind. Now you can sneak in 12 more grams of protein and say yes to pizza every day.
 
Plus, no more cheese-powdered fingers and faces. Takeaways are the perfect, clean-fingered snack for littles on the go, just make sure to break them up into pieces for the particularly little ones.
-
Takeaways are not a diet food, but with 12g of protein and 3g of fiber in just 120 calories, they are great for anyone trying to maximize protein, stay satiated, and be efficient with calories.
 
With 1g of protein for each calorie, some say Takeaways has the golden ratio.
-
A lot of our customers are on GLP-1s and tell us Takeaways fit the protocol well. The math works: high protein, low sugar, manageable calorie load, and a savory format that doesn't trigger the sweet aversion GLP-1s often cause. Also, Takeaways are puffed and light, which sits better for some people than a dense bar.
-
Takeaways are made from real milk, cheese, and spices with no caffeine and no artificial sweeteners. Most of our pregnant and breastfeeding customers eat them without issue (we’ve even received a note from one mom-to-be saying Takeaways saved her during her first trimester). That said, we're not your doctor. Run it past yours if you have specific questions.
-

Takeaways have 12g of complete, bioavailable protein from real milk and cheese.
-
Natural flavors are FDA-regulated flavor extracts from plant or animal sources, in our case, things like cheese cultures, spice extracts, and other food-derived flavor compounds. We don't use artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, or synthetic flavor enhancers. If you'd like a more detailed breakdown for a specific flavor, email hello@eattakeaways.com.
-
Takeaways contain milk: cheese is sorta our thing. Takeaways do not contain gluten, soy, egg, tree nuts, or peanuts.
However, Takeaways are manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts and peanuts. If you have a severe allergy, please factor this in before ordering.
-
Yes, Takeaways are vegetarian.
-
No, and the reason is we’re cheese lovers, and the combination of milk protein and cheese delivered a taste we couldn’t resist. Our first priority is always delivering on craveable flavor.
-
We don't use the word "healthy" because it means nothing and everything. Here's what's actually true: every bar has 12g of complete, bioavailable protein; 3g of fiber; only 1-2g sugar; and real cheese. Those are good things in our book. Full nutrition facts are listed above. You decide what "healthy" means for you.
-
No. Takeaways are shelf-stable. Store them at room temperature in a dry place.
-
They're cheese-based savory bars, not chocolate. They handle a hot car or a summer mailbox better than the average protein bar, but we still don't recommend leaving them in direct sunlight in July. If your order arrives looking strange after a hot-weather delivery, take a photo and email hello@eattakeaways.com. We'll make it right.
-
Best within 12 months of the production date, printed on the back of each box and individual bar.
