11 High-Protein Snack Ideas, Straight From Dietitians

Aside from treating your tastebuds, cheese is one of the most nutrient-dense snacks out there. Cheese is rich in minerals, fats, and calcium while also being high in protein; a cup of cottage cheese has 14 grams, for example, according to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Pre-packaged cheese sticks are a great way to enjoy cheese on the go, says Emily Tills, RD. "Cheese sticks have about seven grams of protein," she tells POPSUGAR. "Pair cheese sticks with crackers to make a complete snack or with popcorn to add another four grams of protein, heart-healthy fats, and fiber to your plate."
