Sorry if this is discussed a lot, I'm new to the board. Does anyone have any good higher protein snack ideas. I'm so sick of hardboiled eggs, peanut butter and cheese (sigh) I just can't seem to get into the idea of chowing down on a chicken breast for my morning snack.
TIA
Re: high protein snack idea for GD??
Kefir --- the plain has MUCH less carbs. Its like drinking yogurt though, so it may take some getting used to.
Also... maybe try natural peanut butter instead of something like Jiff. I have some that I bought at Costco that I have to keep in the fridge... it has a different texture than regular peanut butter and still has me interested.
Greek yogurt (like Chobani) with a few nuts thrown in...
Hummus (if you like it, of course!) with some high-fiber crackers or fresh veggies.

Greek or Icelandic yogurt.
God I never tire of cheese...waistline wishes I did! My nutritionist suggested the Ensure drinks like the ones with Revigor, more protein for muscle building. For me it's so much easier to drink something than to prepare and eat a snack.
What about those ready to eat grilled chicken strips in the grocery store? Some are flavored/cooked with marinades which does sound more appealing than chowing just a chicken breast! Slices of real turkey wrapped around some spinach and carrot sticks?
I'm with the other PPs who said hummus and greek yogurt. Tho I have to watch myself not to overdo the crackers and get a good yogurt that's not loaded up with added sugar.
I like nuts and seeds which are more portable than peanut butter for sure. And it gives me an excuse to get the good expensive ones for variety LOL I splurge on the soy milk some too because it has protein and more calcium than regular milk. Plus again I'd rather drink than chew.
