My Favorite High-Protein Snacks for On-the-Go
Happy Monday, friends! If you’re anything like me, you love having high-protein snacks on hand—something easy to grab, satisfying, and available at a big box grocery store. A little extra protein throughout the day makes such a difference in keeping energy levels up and curbing those mid-afternoon cravings.
So today, I’m sharing my go-to protein-rich snacks that fuel my day without compromising on taste!
Oikos Pro 23g Protein Yogurt Smoothie
If you haven’t tried these yet, you’re missing out! This smoothie is creamy and delicious, with just a tiny hint of chalkiness—but overall, it delivers that classic yogurt smoothie taste. I’ve sampled multiple flavors, and they’re all a win in my book. Easy to grab, tasty, and packed with protein—what’s not to love?
Alani Protein Shake (30g Protein)
I originally picked these up for my teenager, drawn in by the fun, colorful packaging, and they were an instant hit. She wasn’t a fan of the Fruity Cereal flavor, calling it a little too “chemical,” but I, as a proud cereal milk enthusiast, absolutely loved it! I haven’t tested the other flavors yet, but they’re on my list to try soon.
Legendary Protein Pastry
Imagine a protein-packed Pop-Tart—that’s exactly what these are! While they’re great for a quick bite on the go, they’re even better when warmed up. They make for a satisfying alternative to traditional pastries, though they do come with a slightly higher price tag. Still, for a tasty, indulgent protein fix, I say they’re worth it!
A Handful of Nuts or a Spoonful of Peanut Butter
Do I think of that peanut butter scene from Meet Joe Black every time I grab a spoonful? Absolutely. There’s something so comforting about a spoonful of peanut butter or a handful of dry roasted peanuts or salted almonds. Simple, satisfying, and always a solid snack choice!
Chomps Jalapeño Beef Jerky
This is my ultimate go-to for a savory, protein-packed snack. Chomps beef jerky is clean and flavorful, and the jalapeño variety has just the right amount of spice to keep things interesting. Plus, it’s super easy to throw in a bag for a quick protein boost anytime, anywhere. If you haven’t tried it yet, you need to!
Fueling Without Guilt
I don’t count calories or macros, but I notice a huge difference when prioritizing protein throughout the day. My approach to food is all about balance—focusing on whole, fresh foods while still enjoying my non-negotiables like wine and chocolate (without a smidge of guilt).
So, tell me—what’s your favorite protein snack? Drop your recommendations in the comments because I’m always searching for new finds!
