If you’re struggling with a high protein diet I am willing to bet you may be skipping a meal or two 👀
HIGH protein diets will come from 3-4 balanced meals a day, all meals having a protein source, BUT you still need an arsenal of tools for those days life will get in the way and some ideas to make your snacks more balanced with a protein source.
Here’s my favorites ⬇️
✅Protein Bars: Look for bars with at least 20 grams of protein per serving. Brands like ONE are my go to at 20g per bar.
✅Greek Yogurt Cups: Single-serving containers of Greek yogurt will get you at least 15g per cup
✅Beef Jerky: Beef jerky, turkey jerky, and jerky sticks are a great way to take protein on the go.
✅Protein Shakes: Ready-to-drink protein shakes come in various flavors and are an excellent on-the-go option. Brands like Fair life, OWYN are decent options.
✅Hard-Boiled Eggs: Pre-packaged hard-boiled eggs are a convenient source of protein that requires no preparation.
✅Cottage Cheese Cups: Single-serving cups of cottage cheese provide a quick and tasty protein snack.
✅Cheese Sticks: Pre-packaged cheese sticks or cubes are convenient, they will have just as much fat but can be paired with fruit and nuts for a balanced snack plate.
✅Nut Butter Packets: Single-serving packets of nut butter are easy to carry and can be paired with fruit or whole-grain crackers to make a snack more balanced. Let’s be clear tho, nuts and nut butter HAVE protein but are mostly a fat source.
Here are a few of my go to brands for travel and to have in the pantry when the day gets away from me. Be sure to check out my free resource on eating high protein!
