High-protein snacks are your best bet when you need a rapid energy boost. Fitness expert and nutritionist Diana Phillips offers her preferred choices for both good taste and health.
Greek yogurt topped with berries. Diana notes, “Greek yogurt is a protein powerhouse.” For a little sweetener, she tops hers with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey.
Custom Trail Mix Made at Home. For a snack ideal on the run, Diana tosses almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and dried cranberries. “It keeps me full and is customisable,” she says.
Hard Boiled Eggs. Diana’s go-to snack is simple but powerful hard-boiled eggs. She points out that they are portable and high in protein.
Edamame. “Edamame is a tasty, high in protein snack,” Diana explains. For additional taste, she tosses hers with sea salt and a bit of chile powder.
Smoothies Made with Protein. For a quick pick-me-up Diana combines almond milk, a scoop of protein powder, spinach, and frozen mango. She notes, “It’s like a treat and a boost of energy all in one.”
Diana advises including protein-heavy snacks into your daily regimen. “They keep you motivated and support your ability to keep on target with your goals,” she explains.
