5 High-Protein Snacks to Keep You Satisfied! ?

People ask me regularly, "what can I snack on that is high protein per calories?" With that question in mind, for you and for my clients, here are 5 snack options that fit on my plan/our plan that have worked over the past 15 years

Greek Yogurt with Berries
20g protein per serving
Greek yogurt - no sugar added - is packed with protein that gets into your system quickly. Easily digestible and also filled with healthy bacteria. Add blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries (your favorite berries) to sweeten it up and add health phytochemicals to further increase the value to your body.

Hard-Boiled Eggs (I rarely leave home without them)
6g protein per egg
I love boiled eggs - they are great for throwing in my pack and having available for a quick snack. I keep at least 2 on me pretty much every day until about 10AM by which time they are gone! I ordered the little packs of salt and pepper and also hot sauce to keep with me!

Cottage Cheese with Cucumber Slices
14g protein per ½ cup
Cottage cheese, to me, is the BOMB! Many times when I get home from working at the gym and I am getting ready to hit the books or labs, I grab something similar to this. I love it with the cucumber slices because it is refreshing and satiating.

Tuna Packets with Whole-Grain Crackers
15-20g protein per packet
Tuna is an amazing ingredient for snacks. (You can also use salmon or sardines) and the whole-grain crackers are a great boost of reasonable carbs to power you through an exam, and important meeting, or even a moderate-heavy workout. The crackers I choose are large, flat-bread crackers. (I know, Dr. Lustig, but we'll fight about this one!)

Almonds & Cheese Stick Combo
10g protein per serving
Or walnuts, cashews, mixed nuts ... This is another good portable snack that I frequently have. I will add a little homemade chicken or beef jerky for additional kick of much needed amino acids including the powerful BCAAs for a longer power up. For cheese sticks, I really like the sharp cheddar but even mozzarella will do the trick!

If you enjoyed this list, please SHARE with your followers. I find, as a Nutritionist and Master Personal Trainer, that one of the most common questions is about snacks. I have snacked like this for many years. I am 65, 5'11, 175 (17% body fat) and stronger than I have ever been. Ex-military (12 years search and rescue) and former extreme challenge athlete and being able to say I am stronger, even after a battle with stage 4 cancer that almost ended everything, is a powerful statement!
