Protein snack ideas

patriciapereira136

Hey all. I struggle to meet my protein requirement on a daily basis and don't want to rely on protein shakes and bars to hit the numbers as I'd like to get it mostly from nutritious food. I eat chicken, eggs, red meat, fish for dinner and/or lunch. Any other ideas or tips?

Yogurt. I like Kroger/King Sooper's Carbmaster stuff. Good price, and 12g of protein for 90 cal servings.

I like these gluten free almond protein bars. Great for pre workout energy and good protein.

Here's my latest go-to:

227 g Plain unsweetened greek yogurt (I've been using Aldi's)
1 Tbsp All fruit; pineapple works well
34 g Kay's Naturals Honey Almond Cereal https://shop.kaysnaturals.com/product-p/g-hac-l.htm

285 cal, 35 g protein

I eat shrimp, chicken, boiled egg whites, and greek yogurt. I usually pair it with either a raw veggie or fruit. Low calorie but super filling.

Those tuna packets from Starkist or Bumblebee are new snack I eat with lots of protein (like 12g-16g for 90c)

Greek yogurt mixed with 1 T of peanut butter and a drop of vanilla (a few chocolate chips are optional).
238c, 11g fat, 22g protein

Try PBFit or PB2. It's got all the protein of peanuts with none of the oil. I like to dip apple slices in it.

Lately I have been eating 100 g of cottage cheese & a hard boiled egg with vegie sticks & couple of crackers for my afternoon snack & that's an easy 20 g of protein.

what is your protein goal each day? I take in 130g and rarely have to do protein bars/shakes

chicken, shrimp, pork, turkey are go-to meat
noosa yogurt (12g protein)
eggs/egg whites

Greek yogurt, jerky, tuna packets, string cheese

Dry roasted edamame, has a lot of protein, lots of fiber and pretty low fats. It's soy and some people have issues with soy.

Mug Cakes have been my goto every night. It's still protein powder though.

25g whey isolate (prefer choco for this)
18g unsweetened coco powder
1/2 tspn baking powder

mix dry ingredients

40g unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (really just a splash or too until cake batter consistency)

microwave until it starts to rise but don't over cook. 40-50 seconds depending on wattage. Maybe more, maybe less, takes practice.

All comes out to about 170 cals.

You can also sub out chocolate for pb2 and it tastes like a candy apple.
