High Protein Snacks

High-protein snacks are great for maintaining energy levels, supporting muscle growth and repair, and promoting feelings of fullness. Here are some options:
 

  1. Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt is rich in protein, with around 17 grams per 6-ounce (170-gram) serving. Opt for plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt to avoid added sugars.
     

  2. Cottage Cheese: Cottage cheese is another dairy product packed with protein, containing about 14 grams per half-cup (113-gram) serving. It's versatile and can be paired with fruits, vegetables, or nuts for a balanced snack.
     

  3. Hard-Boiled Eggs: Eggs are a complete protein source and are convenient for snacking. One large egg contains approximately 6 grams of protein. Hard-boil a batch at the beginning of the week for easy access.
     

  4. Jerky: Beef, turkey, or even vegan jerky can be excellent high-protein snacks. They are portable and provide around 7-10 grams of protein per ounce (28 grams), depending on the type.
     

  5. Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, peanuts, walnuts, and sunflower seeds are all high in protein and healthy fats. A quarter-cup (28 grams) of almonds, for example, contains about 6 grams of protein.
     

  6. Pork Scratchings: Pork scratchings are a great source of protein, examples such as the pork scratchings from The Chuckling Cheese Company containing over 30g of protein per 100g.
     

  7. Protein Bars: Look for protein bars made with natural ingredients and minimal added sugars. They can provide a convenient way to boost protein intake, with many bars containing 10-20 grams of protein per serving.
     

  8. Tuna or Salmon Packets: Single-serve packets of tuna or salmon are convenient and portable sources of protein, with around 20 grams of protein per 3-ounce (85-gram) serving.
     

  9. Greek Yogurt Parfait: Layer Greek yogurt with fruits like berries and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for added protein and texture.
     

  10. Cheese: Cheese sticks or slices are easy to portion and provide protein along with calcium. Hard cheese typically contains around 6-7 grams of protein per serving.
     

Remember to pair your high-protein snacks with some fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, or whole grains for a well-rounded and satisfying snack.
