Hi all,
Do you have any recipes or ideas for Power Snacks that are high in protein, but low in carbs?

My goal each day is 160 grams of protein (or more), and I am not even close to hitting it.
Would LOVE some ideas of things you make in bulk that really hit the spot when needed.

Thanks for the support.

    Greek yogurt is a great snack. Most brands have 15 grams of protein in a single serving container. A small salad topped with grilled chicken and nuts might be a good option as well. I believe chicken is 22 grams of protein per serving and nuts vary by your choice. A 5 oz can of tuna in water is about 150 calories with 0 carbs and 32 grand of protein. If you don't like it plain but Mayo based tuna salad is too high call for you, try it with a dollop of far free sour cream (20 call per serving), chopped dill pickle to taste and a dash of soy sauce.

    I like sliced deli meat (preferably chicken or turkey) spread with LF cream cheese and rolled around a dill pickle slice. I've been thinking of trying it with pickled asparagus too.
