When you think of all the diets you have heard of, most of them (likely all of them) are protein heavy. But it can be a challenge to eat more protein, so I have complied a list of my favorite protein snacks. I put a ⭐️ next to the snacks I eat most days.
Protein has many benefits. Personally I eat high amounts of protein to help lose or maintain weight, to build muscle, and to keep me satiated.
⭐️ Builder Bars, by Clif Bar (20g protein) found at any grocery store, sometimes Costco has a big box of 2 flavors. Plant based protein and soy with zero artificial sweeteners and zero sugar alcohols.
⭐️ Protein Chips, by Quest (19g protein) found at Super Supplements or amazon.com.
Protein Water, by Premier Protein (20g protein) found on amazon.com in multiple flavors, and sometimes Costco (Costco carries other brands too). Whey protein sweetened with Sucralose- an artificial sweetener regulated by the FDA.
Fairlife Protein Shake (20-40g protein) found at Costco or amazon.com.
Protein Pancakes, by Kodiak Cakes (14g protein for ½ cup mix) found on amazon.com and most grocery stores, sometimes Costco. I usually add a little protein powder as I make the batter and egg whites (instead of water or whole egg). Sugar free syrup on top, by Mrs. Butterworth.
Other Snacks
Greek Yogurt, vanilla flavored (add protein powder and stir)
Hard-boiled Eggs
⭐️ String Cheese

⭐️ Kodiak Cakes Muffin Cups

Please remember to discuss with your doctor and/or dietitian before starting a new diet or adding higher amounts of protein to your diet. I am not a dietitian.
