KAM Nutrition
Do you feel hungry all the time? Always searching for another snack? Try adding more protein to your diet! This super satisfying macro-nutrient will help you feel full for hours.
Whether you’re fueling up for the day ahead or taking a mid-day snack break to ward off those afternoon munchies, high-protein snacks are the best way to keep you going. Snacks with protein give you longer-lasting energy than carb-heavy options, like humongous bagels and muffins, which leave you ravenous just a short while later.
Here are 6 protein-packed (and portable!) snacks that make it easy to stay satisfied.
Mixed nuts
Mixed nuts are a very convenient way to get some protein (and healthy fats). Almonds and walnuts provide the best nutrients, then try adding dried fruit and seeds for a delicious, homemade trail mix.
Hard-boiled egg
Eggs are an inexpensive and nutritious way to fuel upwhen you’re famished. Boil a half dozen at the beginning of the week for easy on-the-go snacking.
Edamame with sea salt
One cup of edamame pods has about 7 grams of protein. Sprinkle on a little sea salt on them to satisfy a salt craving!
Greek yogurt with high-fiber cereal
The combination of protein-packed Greek yogurt and high-fiber cereal is both delicious and filling. The two together will ward off hunger pangs for hours.
Protein shakes or more and are loaded with antioxidants
Whip it up before heading out the door.
Cottage cheese and fruit so even just a small portion will fill you up. Try it with fresh berries or pineapple chunks.
Get Energized Banish snacking guilt for good. Eating small, balanced meals and snacks throughout your day gives your body a steady stream of much-needed nutrients. Forget hunger pangs and food comas—chowing down often on healthy, balanced food helps out your energy levels throughout your go-go-go day. Smart snacking also curbs hunger, making portion control a no-brainer. Protein shakes have as many as 25 grams of protein. Cottage cheese is loaded with protein.
