High protein snacks for work

staceymole · December 2024

I a looking to get back into things in the new year and I have a desk job. I was wondering if you could share suggestions for high-protein snacks I can eat in the office. I am happy to make things from scratch.

Beef jerky, bilthong, crispy roasted chickpeas. If you have access to a refrigerator crab sticks and hardboiled eggs. If you have access to cutlery, small tins of water packed tuna. Not low calorie but filling: nuts.

Rx bars, turkey pepperoni, Greek yogurt with fruit

I used to make up my own nuts and dried fruit mix (I hesitate to say, "trail mix") and keep it in my desk and/or lunch kit. Protein, fat, fiber and some carbs. I did try making my own bars, but didn't find that to be a productive endeavor for the long haul. I found nuts.com had a good selection of quality ingredients. They sell their own mixes, but I liked to blend my own (I'm retired now, and revert to this approach for a takealong cycling food).

I bring a baggie with couple of mini turkey pepperoni, a string cheese and a few Mary's crackers in case I get snacky. You could obviously skip the crackers.

I like dry-roasted edamame/soy nuts, too. They come in various flavors. Crispy broad beans are also good. I like the individual packs to take with me as shelf/desk stable snacks.

Check out Quest products. They have a bunch of bars/chips/chocolates that are high in protein and low carbs.

I notice that poppadoms sold for frying at home are made with chickpea flour so have protein. No need to fry in oil. Pop a single poppadom in the microwave for a minute. They crisp up. Ignore the other food in the photo, but here is a stack of four poppadoms that have been microwaved to use as scoops for salmon tartare. If you want a dip, mix a little chutney into yoghurt.

I made this peanut butter banana oatmeal bars last week.
They freeze well. I take one out on my way to work and it's thawed about the time I'm feeling snackish.
I wouldn't recommend doubling this recipe, I don't think mine cooked completely.

3 ripe bananas
1/2 cup milk
2/3 cup peanut butter. I got Adam's Natural because it has no added sugar or oil.
2.5 cups rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Mash bananas in large bowl with milk.
Mix in other ingredients.

Bake at 350 F, for 20-25 minutes.

I used less milk and a dash of brown sugar. I think they are great.

Salt and vinegar fava beans

Low sugar muesli bars

Recently I've been doing a 'mini English breakfast' as a snack if we've BBQed or baked sausages and onions earlier in the week - boiled egg with half a sausage, some browned onions and maybe small quantities of sautéed mushrooms, grilled tomato or half an oven baked or sandwich pressed hash brown all in a little tub with a dash of sauce. It's a great high protein snack and very satisfying for the taste buds.
