I need to incorporate protein into my snacks and need some ideas. I don't like nuts (except peanuts), cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt so those aren't options. I'm hoping you guys can give me some good ideas. Thanks in advance!

    I like the mini Baby Bell Light cheeses - one piece is only 50 calories. Sometimes I will have a Quest protein bar. You could also have some lean meat - chicken, etc.

    No-carb protein pancakes of course! (I make them the night before!)
    So simple!

    2 + 1/2 TBS protein powder
    1 egg
    Dash salt
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    2 tsp water
    1 tsp oil

    Just mix everything and make a big pancake in your pan (with spray oil).
    Easy and yum, I eat with almond butter! Maybe not for you if you don't like nuts haha.

    130 calories
    14g protein
    4.5 g fat
    0.5 sat fat

    I grill extra chicken breasts, skinless of course, to keep on hand. I also like a good protein shake

    If you like pickles (ie Bick's garlic pickles), try making a few hard boiled eggs and dropping them into your favourite pickle juice jar that has room Leave for several days and you will have a tasty pickled egg and a few pickles on the side. The egg and two pickles should be a total of a 100 cal.

    I slice a piece of string cheese in half lengthwise and then roll it in sliced deli meat -- ham, turkey, roast beef. I eat the meat and cheese roll-ups with dill pickles.

    Beef Jerky, you can get different flavors and tastes good. I also eat Pure Protein bars so I can get my chocolate fix. They are a bit higher in calories, but great protein and is better to eat than a Hershey bar when I need chocolate :D

    almond butter with bananas (I know you say you only like peanuts but almond butter is fantastic)
    span out and try different types of greek yogurt, I switch between Fage/cobani 0% fat is a little tangy you might try the 2% option with some raw honey
    do regular yogurt as another option plain (others are laden with sweetners)
