High protein snacks can be the key to achieving success in your work out program. They may also be the reason you do not get to achieve your weight loss goals. Sudden hunger can hit you like a ton of cement. Getting past the munchies with a healthy snack could be your best response without compromising your fitness goals.
Keri Gans, the author of The Small Diet Change Recommends that snacks should be at least packed with 10 grams of pure protein and between 100 to 200 calories. These high protein snacks could easily fit into your handbag and offer you the boost you need to achieve your fitness goals.
1. Turkey wraps
Wrapping up 4 1-ounce roasted turkey breast slices with some green lettuce on the side could provide quite the healthy break time snack. Offering 27 grams of protein and 134 calories, the choice is perfect for a snack.
2. Protein pretzels
Offering 120 calories and 12 grams of protein, the pretzels are a portable protein bank.
We recommend Kay's Naturals Cinnamon Toast Pretzel Sticks, with 4 grams of fiber and low in glycemic content, they are sure to be a protein power punch.
3. Peas and cheese
A single serving of mock deep- fried chickpeas with a single ounce of low in fat cheddar cheese would offer up to 199 calories for 13 grams. The goal is to boost the energy level of the body while providing a fats relief for worn down muscles through the protein.
4. Vegan protein shakes
Vegan protein shakes could produce up to 21 grams of protein. Take the Plant Fusion Vanilla bean protein powder, mixed in a shaker cup with 10 to 12 ounces of water, the cup could pack the same protein power punch with just 120 calories.
5. 2 hard boiled eggs
The benefits of eggs can not be understated. 2 boiled eggs give 12.5 grams of protein in 155 calories.
Next time you leave home, toss one of these high protein foods into your handbag for a protein filled day.
