Hate it with a vengeance. Even the smell of it turns my stomach.

So does anyone have any good ideas for high protein snacks that do not include it.

And that don't include cottage cheese either, as I hate that too!

Thanks:happy:

    Do you like hummus, hard boiled eggs, cheese sticks or almond butter? I also like Greek Yogurt.

    I found a recipe for that yesterday. I can't wait to try it tomorrow. I recently tried the blondies recipe on MFP tht called for a can of chickpeas. That was good too. My family had no idea what was in it.:laugh:

    The almond butter would be used like a peanut butter. It just has a different taste. I have one that is almond butter with vanilla and cinnamon. I like it, but I like peanut-butter too so I'm not sure if you would enjoy it.

    Greek yogurt can replace sour cream to make higher protein dips.


    I like to do a little bleu cheese dip with carrots, almonds and sliced turkey as a high protein after workout snack.

    grilled chicken = high protein snack that doesn't include peanut butter.

    I roll Paleo so I don't do much PB. I do keep 4oz portions of chicken, tuna and almonds around though.

    Do you like nuts at all? Cashews and Almonds are great snacks. Or, fruit and cheese is always good. I prefer colby jack.

    biltong (South African) or jerky (American) both dried meat and high in protein.

    I've been trying to convince myself that I hate PB, but I just can't do it. It's my biggest weakness.

    Thanks, few new ideas here, tending to go down the cold chicken, turkey, beef route at the moment so it will be nice to mix it up a bit.

    Been looking at protein bars too. Tried one today for the first time and was surprised how full it got me.

    Don't mind almonds, but I do eat walnuts and Brazil's. The fat content makes me keep the portions down though. Yes, I know they're good fats before anyone starts, but they're very calorie dense too

    Peanut butter isn't really a great source of protein anyhow....better source of fat than anything else.
