I'm starting up this thread, as the main board is nigh on useless for us for finding good products.  Please share your fav foods and products either that you have always used or you have just discovered, esp high protein ones.  I was inspired to do this because of my latest discovery.

Soy nuts - in the crisp/chinese snack section of tescos.  They are salted and roasted and are fantastic as a high protein snack.  25g, will either last me 1 or 2 snacks and provides 100 cals and 11.5g protein.  Now don't get me wrong - they are no rival in the taste stakes for a good cashew, but they are pleasant, salty and crunchy.  I think I'm gonna start keeping some in my handbag for emergencies.

I rely on nuts for good protein snacks. But I never eat the salted ones - they would work as well for stopping hunger for me but I don't like to eat too much sodium. I prefer the higher cal of unsalted cashews but do eat soya beans in the form of endame as a treat.

I was looking for endame in tescos, but with no success - where do you get them from.  Also how do you like to enjoy them, I've heard of them as roasted nibblies but also in salads.

Now you are asking a difficult Q! I have never bought any! I eat them at Wagamama etc and have had them at friends' houses but never bought any! I googled it and apparently it should be endamame!

So if I find them i will tell you and if you find them - please tell me!!

Found roasted soya beans in Tescos. But just dry brown beans which have almost no taste!! Still trying to find endame/endamame!
