    My go-to snacks are greek yogurt and light string cheese. The light string cheese packs 50 calories and SEVEN grams of protein! Plus, it's soooo good!

    Protein Pancakes

    In a blender, mix this;

    3 cups quick cooked oats (plain)
    1 500g carton of egg whites
    3 scoops protein powder (your choice of flavor)
    1/3 cup sweetener like splenda

    Blend these ingredients together until it looks like pancake batter.
    Spray a non-stick frying pan with Pam

    Make pancakes! The trick with these is they are fast to cook... If you over-cook them they will be dry and hard like cardboard... 20 seconds each side and you're golden... These a good carbs, good protein, and they tasted awesome!

    Greek yogurt is always a good idea, I like to do rice cakes with peanut butter, protein bars, kashi go lean cereal, peanut butter and celery/peanut butter and apples, tuna or salmon or chicken (without skin). I'm trying out black bean brownies right now-I honestly didn't follow a recipe and just put stuff in that would work, but I'll let you know how they turn out (if they're tasty, they're really low cal and high protein-77 cals per brownie and I haven't calculated the protein yet) if you want the recipe. Also whey protein powder works well

    My typical snacks:

    Apple and string cheese
    Banana and peanut butter
    Apple and 100 calorie walnut / almond pack (from Aldi's)
    1% cottage cheese or non-fat plain greek yogurt with fruit (usually a berry of some type)

    I take a couple of these in my lunch bag at work each day so I don't find myself at the vending machine buying crap!

    You could also find a recipe on here or on any health-related food site, and make your own protein bars. But the foods mentioned from the others will work also.

    I go for hard-boiled eggs also. Either by themselves or sliced on a salad. Good protein boost.

    Boiled eggs
    Bacon and egg cupcakes (line cupcake pan holes with bacon/ham, mix eggs with favourite veggies, pour in holes, bake for 30 mins)
    Peanut butter chicken skewers (chicken on skewers, smother in peanut butter, bake for 30 mins)
    Chicken drumstick
    Mozzarella ball (yes, just open the packet and eat the ball)
    Pigs in blankets - wrap ham or bacon or prosciutto around a lean sausage (I use turkey) and bake for 30 minutes)
    Cottage cheese with berries, cinnamon and sliced almonds
    Almond fingers - 2 fingers in an almond butter jar (save this one for desperate times and midnight munchies in the dark. Remember if you can't see yourself doing it or can't rule it out as a dream, it doesn't count)

    Quest protein bar
    Protein shake or smoothie
    Dry-roasted edamame (1 ounces = 130 calories & 14 grams protein!)
    String cheese

    I second both of these. Greek Yogurt has the high protein ratio to carbs/fats. Light string cheese has high protein, no carbs, some fats. Only bad thing about the string cheese is the sodium. But it's not "THAT" bad. Definitely a quick snack to boost your protein intake. I can't think of anything else aside from protein bars or beef jerky that is ready to eat without having to cook or prepare.

    The flavoured ones will. Buy straight up full fat Greek yogurt, no flavouring.

    I do understand that crab sticks are pretty processed. I make the beef jerky myself. Please tell me what is objectionable about my snacks? On days I am ravenous beef jerky is the only thing that curbs my need to eat.
