- Greek yogurt – If your goal is to eat more protein-rich foods, then Greek yogurt must be included in your diet. It has a thicker consistency and contains more protein, but only half the sugar compared to other yogurts.
- Whole-grain protein bars –Â To avoid high in calories bars (we’re talking here about 300 +calories), look for a bar with about 10 to 15 grams of protein with at least 5 grams of fiber and less than 15 grams of sugar.
- Turkey roll-ups –Â Another great idea of a healthy snack is nitrate-free deli turkey breast, with a squirt of mustard, a slice of tomato, and some lettuce. This combination has 75 calories and 18 grams of protein to keep you energized from lunch to dinner time.
- Box of low-fat chocolate milk –Â Chocolate milk is the ideal post-workout snack, having 9 grams of protein that helps repair muscle and improve recovery. You can buy some single-serve boxes of low-fat milk. You can find those from Organic Valley that won’t even need to be refrigerated.
- Hummus cup –Â Hummus is a great option if you want a mix of proteins (5 grams) and fiber (4 grams) in a small serving. Add some baby carrots, red bell pepper slices, grape tomatoes, or cucumber slices, and you’ll have the perfect snack.
- 100-calorie almond packs –Â If you didn’t know by now, there are 14 almonds for every 100-calorie serving. If you don’t have the time to count them yourself, there are travel-friendly zip-close bags you can find in the stores. You’ll just have to pay a little more for the effort, but it’s still worth it! To add more diversity, you can buy them with walnuts, and dried apricots.
