Protein Snacks

We all snack some. Often, we snack out of boredom or to break up the lull of a long day. Many of us have a midday snack right before hitting the gym or our home workout. Choosing high-protein snacks that benefit the body with nutrients that last longer than filling up with carb-type snacks is the goal there.

Protein Snack Lists

Which snacks top the protein snack list?

So many good things could work, although some are not as protein-packed as you might think.

Hummus – Believe it or not, hummus is about 2g of protein for a serving

Eggs – Hard-boiled eggs are a good snack, and people have them all the time. One egg sits at 6g of protein!

Almonds – A handful of about 20 almonds is a good choice with 6g of protein. That is an easy kind of snack to have with you.

Peanut Butter – 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter with celery or carrots gets you a bit higher at 7g of protein.

String Cheese – This is the bigger surprise. If you can have dairy, you may find variations of string cheese that have up to 8g of protein per piece.

Always check the nutritional information before you make your purchases. Change up your good protein snack each day!
