High protein snacks

lucylou9701

Hello all I need some high protein snacks that I can snack on while in class... usually i just take an apple but I am really trying to up my protein. I have some greek yogurt already and I dont do hardboiled eggs and i am allergic to nuts x__x Any other ideas?

beef jerky or ready made protein shakes

seasoned and toasted chickpeas are apparently good. I haven't tried them yet, but I guess you just drain/rinse/drain some chickpeas, toss them in oil and seasonings, spread them out on a cookie sheet, bake for 20 @ 350, then give them a shuffle and bake for 20 more. I don't know what their shelf life is once prepped.

Are there any types of seeds you can eat? I mix up my own trail mix with seeds and dried fruit (and sometimes a few chocolate chips) and I find a handful or so gets me through.

sometimes I sound like a bigger hippie than I actually am.

I eat a lot of beef jerky and tuna packets but the tuna might not go over too well in class.

Edamame, soy nuts roasted chickpeas, seasoned seitan, baked and seasoned polenta cubes, cheese cubes are a good place to start. Here in Southwestern US we have lots of Mexican stuff like roasted chickpeas w/chile lime seasoning that taste soooo much better than Corn Nuts w/a huge amount of protein to boot.
