1. Cold Cuts

Ok, so I am going to suggest adding meat. But I won’t be suggesting dry, rubbery chicken. Instead, I recommend delicious low-fat turkey or chicken deli meat.

Rolling up lunchmeat—either turkey or chicken—to fit into your work snack pack is a simple task. Putting it around a pickle or even pickled asparagus is my favorite application. Delicious!

The snack packs of cubed beef and mixed nuts that are offered in the grocery store's refrigerator department are also an excellent source of protein when you're on the road.

2. Protein Drink

In one word, let me share my secret to great-tasting protein shakes: smoothies.

Smoothies are a dieter’s best friend!  By adding protein powder to your mid-day smoothie, you’ll be getting a super-dose of vitamins and antioxidants, not to mention 15-25 grams of protein!

Here’s my favorite recipe that tastes incredible:

• 1 cup unsweetened cashew milk
• 1 handful of Cacao Nibs
• ½ cups of Kale
• 1 cup ice
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder

Blend and enjoy!

3. Greek Yogurt

At 10-12grams per serving, this is an easy (and tasty!) way to get more protein as well as your daily dose of probiotics.  You can find Greek yogurt in individual tubs or even as a drink for those who don’t have time to sit and munch.

It also tastes amazing when you add in a scoop of protein powder.  We recommend Dymatize ISO 100, Gourmet Chocolate, because it’s high in protein, low in sugar, low in carbs, and tastes AMAZING!

4. Nuts

Although two tablespoons of peanut butter provide eight grams of protein, it is high in fat.

You should keep eating nuts for just this reason. Precisely portioned and prepackaged individual portions are easily accessible; they're perfect for tossing in your bag and heading out.
Almonds, pistachios, pecans, and cashews are the best.

5. Jerky

While you do need to monitor your sodium intake, jerky can be a great addition to your rotation of snacks.

Depending on which kind you get, it can be high in protein, low in fat, and easy to keep in your purse or backpack for those busy days.

This is also great for when you're on the run or traveling! Finding high-protein snacks when traveling or spending a lot of time away from home can be challenging.

Since jerky is readily available in most convenience stores and doesn't require refrigeration, it's a fantastic choice!


Additionally, keep an eye out for turkey jerky, which frequently has more protein and less sugar and carbohydrates!

6. Tuna

Tuna-in-a-pouch is going to be your best friend if all you can smell is fish! You may eat it straight out of the can as it's already seasoned, or you can mix it with mustard.

Each tasty bag has 17 grams of low-fat protein.

7. Boiled Eggs

Everyone loves deviled eggs, right? Ok, so that may not be quite accurate, but there are other ways to eat eggs too.

At 6 grams of protein per egg, don’t give up on this compact snack item!  Mix up some chopped boiled egg with a bit of mustard and apple cider vinegar, and enjoy with crackers or veggies.

Or bring some deli mustard in a small container, and dip your hard-boiled egg in it. Zesty AND low calorie!

8. Edamame

Edamame is a crunchy food that has 8 grams of protein per serving, so give it a try.

These are located in the freezer area. (check out this recipe for how to make savory snacks!), or even as a chip-like treat.

These are also great for on the road or at work because they can go without being refrigerated for hours at a time and still taste great!

9. Chickpeas

Smooth, garlicky hummus is always a good choice for a snack. With 7 grams of protein per serving, it tastes great with broccoli or bell peppers.

If you prefer crunchy food, roasting chickpeas is the best option.You can make your own, or find them in the chip aisle.

10. Veggies

I did tell you I’d share 11 high protein snacks, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t include several of my favorite protein-packed veggies as the final item.

The fact that broccoli has 3 grams of protein per cup might surprise you! For a powerful mix, dip that in the hummus you prepared earlier!

There are many different kinds of kale chips available on the market, if you can stand the thought of eating green chips. Adding this to your diet is a no-brainer because it has 3 grams of protein every 50-calorie serving!
