Does anyone have any go to low carb/ high protein snack ideas for mid morning before lunch and the time in between lunch and dinner?

I've been snacking on cashew nuts, non fat Greek yogurt with berries but ideally it'd be great if anyone has any more satisfying options?

    protein sludge - sounds disgusting, tastes amazing. 1 scoop protein powder, 3 tbsp water or milk, 1 tbsp peanut butter

    proats - oatmeal mixed with protein powder

    ricotta cheese mixed with peanut butter - not the highest in protein, but good anyway

    Good shout. I may try and mix up a batch of protein bars. I've never tried cottage cheese before just due to the way it looks! -but I'll give this a try!

    I love eggs... When you have hard boiled do you put yours with anything?

    Oh yes great idea. I've seen you can use a muffin tin some ham, and an egg to make some tasty treats. Have you tried before?

    I love these Quiche cupcakes and they're only 57 calories each. Easy to make a batch and eat all week.

    Sometimes I just eat them with hot sauce, other times I cut them up and mix them in cottage cheese.

    Oooh I may have to be naughty and add some fresh berries but a great way to get a double dose of protein. Thanks!

    Morning Joe with vanilla protein powder. Mix a scoop of the powder with a little water, milk, almond milk or whole cream (whatever your preference) for a latte. Not a snack per say, but a good boost to breakfast or post morning workout.

    I have to try protein sludge.

    I usually do eggs with spicy salsa or crustless quiche.
    Greek yogurt - I buy plain and stir frozen fruit
    Cottage cheese with sliced berries or pineapple if I am in the mood for sweet or sometimes savoury with salsa and chives.
