LET'S GET SOME EASY SNACK IDEAS

So I have a feeling that I am not the only one that is lacking daily protein!! My hair is STILL falling out 6 months later :(
Per my surgeon I am NOT allowed to have anything "liquid" protein. He wants it all to come from food sources!! SOOO I thought it would be great for everyone to rally together to this post and give some EASY SNACK IDEAS THAT ARE A GREAT SOURCE OF PROTEIN so everyone else can benefit from it as well :)
Taken from Kim :) " Ready - SET - GOOOO!!! "

*My idea is ~ string cheese wrapped in a slice of turkey or ham, with a smidgen of ranch dressing and melted in the microwave for a few seconds!! Mmmmm!!

Cottage cheese (I eat mine w/flax)
greek yogurt drizzled w/honey (mix a little granola if you like)
1oz cheese, 2oz turkey wrapped around a pickle slice (I use the flat sandwich ones)
palm full of nuts
1-2 spoonfulls of pnut butter (put on an apple)
turkey jerky
soy crisps
south beach high protein cereal bar
tuna salad
chicken salad


 

 

Great thread !

I like to take:

a small container of cottage cheese, small curd, fat free
small package of sugar free jello
small container of cool whip - sugar free or fat free

Mix together and have a fluff... really good, easy to fix and lots of protein. 

Look forward to more ideas.

I love frozen pods of edamame.  I took them to the ball field this past summer to much on, along with dry roasted soy nuts, other nuts (peanuts, almonds, etc.) and seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, etc.).  Yum!

At home, I like keeping different types of beans on hand because they are so filling.  We usually keep some lentils or split peas that we've cooked in the crockpot in the fridge to grab a small mug of.  They are very comforting and filling during colder weather.   Then I also always have a can of Bush's vegetarian baked beans in the pantry.  They are great on toast or Triscuits! 

I'm dying to experiment some with quinoa.

Keep the ideas coming!

I love
South Beach Protein cereal bars
Cottage Cheese
any kind of cheese!!
A big Ole spoon of peanut butter right out of the jar
Greek yogurt with honey in it (it is NASTY without it!)

Turkey pepperoni
all kinds of nuts
individually wrapped cheese
rolled up deli roast beef with a slice of white american cheese (one of my favorites)
Protein balls....

 ricotta cheese in a small say 1\4 cup. One pack of splenda or your favorite non dumping sweet stuff. a dash of cinnamon and stir till its all puddin looking... I swear it sounds sorta odd but the taste is quite rich like a cheese cake and easy on the pouch at least at our house.

I am a cheesecake F R E A K!!! Thank you for sharing this!! I am going to get the stuff next time I go to the store. It sounds fantastic!!

 you might try Adkins advantage bars. i found some that have up to 17 grams of protein and dont taste like cardboard either. the chocolate peanut butter ones are almost a meal in themselves. 

I do cheese chips... grated cheese "pinches" on parchment paper, nuked for about a minute...crispy, salty, and all protein.

ALSO pepperoni chips:  slices of pepperoni nuked for about a minute on paper towels... fat melts into the paper towel... all protein again!  Crispy, salty, delicious! 

Can you tell I am a saltaholic?
