Hungry? Grab a Sni . . . grab a snack! A high-protein, low-calorie, wholesome snack, that is! These mindful choices are easy, delicious, and ready to take on the go — and there's an option for every kind of diet.
Jerky: Whether it's beef, turkey, or chicken, this lean protein snack packs a punch and won't add to your carb count for the day. Calories vary, but many jerky packs and bars come in at under 150 calories with over 10 grams of protein.
Hard-Boiled Eggs: A 78-calorie hard-boiled egg brings in over six grams of protein, and it's one of the easiest snacks to prep. Just boil, chill, store in the fridge, and snack on the go.
Trail Mix: Lean on a hearty balance of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit when you need a healthy snack on the road. Trail mix varies based on ingredients, but you can make your own healthy trail mix with high-protein, low-calorie ingredients to keep you full without overdoing it on calories.
Hummus: You can do so many things with high-protein hummus, a creamy dip for veggies and chips. Because it's made from low-calorie chickpeas, you'll have a filling snack that won't set you back (calories vary, but a quarter cup is usually around 100 calories).
Cottage Cheese: While it's delicious with a little fruit or stuffed into a cantaloupe, cottage cheese is also a great stand-alone snack that you can eat like yogurt. A half-cup serving will only run you 50 to 85 calories.
Yogurt: Grab a Greek or Icelandic yogurt (fat-free if you're cutting calories) for a protein-packed, satiating snack. Try to opt for plain or vanilla, as some of the intensely flavored options can contain a lot of sugar. That said, Siggi's has some great flavored options that still have more protein than they do sugar.
Nut Butter: A spoonful of PB might be all you need to curb a midafternoon craving, but it also tastes great on apples or celery. One tablespoon of peanut butter is roughly 96 calories.
