Eating well sometimes suffers when your calendar is full since life can get hectic. Fitness instructor and nutritionist Nina Ross offers her best high-protein munchies to keep your body running on demand.
“Protein is essential for keeping your energy levels stable and your cravings in control,” Nina says. “Finding quick, healthy options isn’t always easy,” though.
Her go-to snacks are listed here:
Greek Yoghurt Parfait topped with nuts. “I always have a single-serve Greek yoghurt refrigerated. For a crispy, protein-packed snack, pair it with almonds or walnuts, Nina advises. Perfect for reducing appetite, a modest serving offers over 15 grammes of protein.
Made-at-home Protein Bars. Since store-bought bars might be laden with sugar, I create my own. Just toss oats, protein powder, almond butter, and a little of honey. Cut into bars; they are available anytime you need them.”
Vegetables and Boiled eggs. “A classic for a reason are hard-boiled eggs,” Nina says. “For a snack that’s both healthy and pleasing pair them with carrot or cucumber sticks.”
Made from cottage cheese with berries. “This one’s my favourite,” Nina notes. “Protein and natural sweetness are in a fantastic harmony here. It also smells like a dessert!
Edamame Driven with Dash of Sea Salt. “Edamame is just steam-cooked and topped with salt; it’s quite simple. Perfect for when you want something savoury.
Nina’s farewell counsel is Always make forward plans. Store these snacks so you won’t find yourself grabbing for bad choices.
