Quick High Protein Snacks

I am having a hard time meal planning preps. I’ll eat my planned lunches but then I’m going to cabinets and pantry and snacking out of bags. It’s a true problem, I know. The joys of food addiction history and a family that doesn’t support the journey. 🥴

I also know myself enough to know that if I pre-prep and portion and put in the efforts I’m more likely to grab that. 🙌🏼

With that being said…

tell me your top three favorite high protein snack preps😁

cottage cheese or yogurt with fruit. a small bento box with turkey or chicken salad, high end hard cheese, fresh fruit and or veggies and sesame crackers. If I am craving something sweet homemade frozen yogurt with berries or peanut butter and bananas.

I love the premier Shakes. If you get the pre made ones and put chocolate in the microwave it’s like hot cocoa. So yummy. If you have the powder you have to make hot milk then blend otherwise it like cooks and clumps up weird. I love protein pancakes and literally put 4 chocolate chips on top. It’s just enough for me. And I like welches. Not necessarily protein, but a small pack and mostly sugar so it burns off faster than chocolate which has fat. Plus the pack is small so I don’t feel guilty

Hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese, dry-roasted edamame or fava beans (they're available commercially in various flavors).

1. Shaker jar with two cups of 1% cow's milk and 25g chocolate whey powder, sometimes spiced with cinnamon or turmeric/black pepper.

2. 200g Greek yogurt stirred with 25g of whey powder, often with berries, fruit and/or nuts

3, Less often a big blender shake for higher calories with milk, yogurt, whey, peanut butter and miscellaneous add-ins including minute oats

4. Refrigerated "overnight oats" made with dairy, whey powder, berries, etc. as a quick breakfast or snack.

(Needing 160g of protein for muscle mass retention, whey is a "food" and not a "supplement".)

Already mentioned but definitely seconding/thirding hard boiled eggs and cottage cheese.

You can also strain yogurt, Greek yogurt, or kefir and get a very nice spread like cream cheese that can be used as a dip too with your preferred seasonings.

(If you really want to go nuts, you can save the whey and use it as a milk replacement in recipes, which will save you some calories.)

Totally relate, having it prepped and portioned makes all the difference. My top three are Greek yogurt cups with berries, hard-boiled eggs with a little salt and pepper, and cottage cheese with sliced cucumbers or cherry tomatoes. All are quick to prep, high in protein, and easy to grab instead of reaching into a bag.

Cheese dip with crudités: Greek yoghurt mixed with a small handful of reduced fat strong cheddar, salt, pepper, chives and a squiz of lime juice. I like it with carrot crudités - high protein, snacky, and delicious.
