Life is hard when you don't have time to make your favorite protein shake after a workout, right? But seriously, if you're on the go after a workout, or just need to replenish with some protein, there are tons of nutritious packaged snacks available that pack a serious punch. You could stash some of these in your gym bag, piece together a lunch on your break from work, or treat yo'self to a high-protein snack. Here are some of the favorite finds from the POPSUGAR Fitness team.

RXBAR

If you're down for a bar, RXBAR is among the best. With very few ingredients, 12 grams of protein, and really delicious flavors, it's a quick way to feel full on the go.

Marshmallow Treats

A Rice Krispies treat with protein? It's real. The Enlightened Marshmallow Treats pack 15 grams per serving.

Oatmega Cookie

Prefer cookies to bars and rice cakes? Try a cookie! Oatmega's Peanut Butter is one of our favorites, and it's got a boost of omega-3s alongside 12 grams of protein.

Lenny & Larry's Complete Cookie

Or you could try the vegan variety. Lenny & Larry's has delicious options, like Snickerdoodle and Birthday Cake, with 16 grams per cookie.

Munk Pack Protein Cookie

Even more cookie options . . . and these have 18 grams per cookie! Munk Pack has four gluten-free, vegan flavors.

Chips

Yes, there are protein chips, too! If you're looking for something savory, try snacking on iWon (20 grams per bag), Quest (21 grams per bag), or Simply Protein (15 to 16 grams per bag).

On-the-Go Protein Shakes

Don't have your protein powder nearby? There are to-go options for you! FuelGood's protein shakes are a delicious and satisfying option with organic ingredients and 15 grams of protein in a very small serving.

Icelandic or Greek Yogurt

Snack smarter with high-protein, low-sugar yogurt. We love Siggi's, Smári, and Icelandic Provisions for an Icelandic yogurt snack (also known as skyr), and plain Greek yogurt with fruit. These tasty treats have between 12 and 19 grams of protein, depending on the brand and product.

Wilde Brands Jerky Bars

Need some meat on the go? Not that into sugary treats like cookies? Try a savory jerky bar with grass-fed, free-range turkey, beef, or chicken from Wilde (10 to 11 grams of protein per bar).

Krave Beef Jerky

Munch on a classic jerky snack with Krave's all-natural variety, which boasts eight grams of protein per 70-calorie serving!

Patagonia Provisions Salmon Packs

Did you ever think you could have sockeye salmon on the go? Thanks to the shelf-stable Patagonia Provisions wild sockeye salmon packs, you can. No protein powders; no protein isolates. Just whole food . . . and 12 grams of protein per serving (meaning 36 grams per pack!).

StarKist Albacore White Tuna

Maybe you're more of a tuna person than a salmon person. Another shelf-stable protein option is the 17-gram classic tuna packs from StarKist, which you can find at nearly any grocery or corner store.

Protein Ice Cream

Look, if you want ice cream as a snack, then live your truth! We'll be right there with you. We love picking up Halo Top at the grocery store (especially the cookie dough) — it does have 24 grams of protein per pint, after all — but if you can't find this brand, look for Enlightened, ProYo, Yasso, or Forte.
