So I have been at this a long time....and I am just sick to death of my snacks. For my snacks I like to eat clean and high protein and it needs to be portable. Here is my list of snacks:
Eggs
Chicken Breast
Light Cheese
Low sodium lunch meat
Nuts
Veggies with light ranch or hummus
Greek Yogurt
Anyone have any other ideas?

maybe try mixing with the flavours of each?
For example, with chicken you could use some red curry and turmeric for a spicy flare. Or roast it with rosemary and a hint of parmesean. That way its still chicken, but two completely different flavours.
Another idea is how you serve it, you could dice it into a salad, or a wrap, do "fingers" to eat as is or to dip, or leave it whole in a sandwich, or eat with knife and fork.
I also try mixing the combos. My naturalpath wants me to eat my fruit with nuts. so sometimes I do a fruit salad (that I cut up)
Or just a piece of fresh fruit -(whatever is in season, and a handful of nuts. I try to keep a variety in the house so I don't get too bored. Also, when I buy fruit I only buy 3-4 of the same thing then switch it out and don't come back to that item for a couple of weeks at least. It helps me not roll my eyes in frustration when I look in the fridge.
I hope that helps.0 -
roasted, spiced garbanzo beans
roasted edamame
roasted kale
handful of raw nuts: cashews, almonds...
raw apple sprinkled with cinnamon
chickpea (or some kind of seafood if you eat it) salad on crackers, nut thins, celery, or carrots
cucumber sandwiches (cucumber, Italian seasoning, and I use Tofutti cream cheese)
tomato sandwiches (tomato, salt, pepper, and I use Veganaise)
Chia seed "pudding," though I'm not a fan of this a lot of people are
Use silken tofu as a base for vegetable dips rather than mayonnaise0 -
It's not high in protein but it is a good change once in awhile. I love the 100 calorie packs of Wholly Guacamole with fresh cut radishes or cucumbers as chips.
Or something else I liked for a little while was low fat cream cheese rolled up in turkey lunchmeat. I liked these because you can change up the low fat cream cheese flavor.0 -
I love brown rice cakes with PB or Almond butter. Beef or turkey jerky is a good idea - I heard the ostrich snack sticks are good too - OSTRIM makes them. I always pack a protein bar for emergencies - like Think Thin, Pure Protein and Zone Perfect. Wasa is always a great idea - yummy with hummus.0

Wasa bread topped with cream cheese, dried apples(the kind from Gerber for Toddlers) and cinnamon.0
