Name your protein

I'm trying to think of snacks that are easy to grab in the morning as I run out the door.  What are your favorite meals/snacks with tons of protein. Bonus if it doesn't have to be refrigerated.  TIA!

Re: Name your protein

  • Loading the player...
  • Apple and peanut butter
    Anything with hummus
    Greek yogurt
    Nuts

  • Yogurt, nuts, hard boiled eggs, and those to-go cups of single serve peanut butter (I keep plastic spoons in my car)
  • Nuts and cheese, hard boiled eggs, and I love just eating spoons of peanut butter or almond butter with just a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
  • Nuts, peanut butter, hard-boiled eggs, and greek yogurt are the easiest for me.

  • I get granola bars, they have oats and almonds in them and I think a yogurt bottom, they are so so good !!

  • Greek yogurt protein bars from nature valley. 9g. Just bought the ensure drinks too with 8-16 g bc baby is on petite size.
  • Doesn't have to be refrigerated? Way to make it tough... ;) I have talked with my OB about my protein powder, so you may choose to do the same, but I use protein powder and mix it into water/milk/coffee depending on the day. If you mix it into coffee, just make it an iced coffee otherwise it's like a science experiment gone bad in hot coffee (until you find the right temp so it doesn't cook the protein!). I have little separated containers that I just throw in my bag, and then I have a little shaker I use on-the-go for quick protein.

    Other snacks that I have are also listed above (cheeses, nuts, Greek yogurt, etc.).  You could freeze a tube of Greek yogurt and bring it with you so by the time you want to eat it, it'll be a good temp. I'm a big fan of hard boiled eggs, too. If we are on a road trip, I always grab hard boiled eggs, string cheese, and beef jerky at our stops. I am a protein fiend :)

    Oatmeal
    Jerky

  • Protein (no bake) cookie balls, so yummy...no refrigeration, nice.

    Pre-prepped:

    - non-fat, Greek yogurt with fruit, nuts and/or seeds.

    - protein green smoothie.

     

        

  • -Lots of Greek Yogurt with nuts/seeds
    -Cheese cubes
    -A glass of milk with any kind of protein nut bar

  • The protien cookie balls are good!! I also love trail mix w/ dried fruit and yogurt. (Traders Joe's makes my favorite kind). Protien bars in a pinch but not all kinds are tasty. I also like the starkist tuna and cracker snack!
  • Greek yogurt, apples and peanut butter, bananas and peanut butter, and hard boiled eggs. And recently I made a dip from plain Greek yogurt, peanut butter and honey and omg I could eat that without the fruit to dip in it!
  • Vanilla Greek yogurt with granola. Hard boiled eggs. Nuts. And I know it's weird but CostCo used to carry these mango granola Greek yogurt-covered bites, but the company stopped producing them and I don't like any of the other flavors :'(
