Four High Protein Snacks - Foods That Help You Pass the Time Between Meals

 So you work out a lot and need a good amount of protein every day to keep your muscles in shape. We know the feeling, and it can be hard to always find something to snack on. We can't just eat meat as a protein source (for health reasons), so what else can we eat? You need a high protein snack!

Here are some quick, high protein snacks you can make throughout the day to keep you going while getting a good amount of protein.

High Protein Snacks 

Double Milk

Milk is almost like a meal in itself... It has volume, some fat, a good amount of protein, and a good amount of nutrients. Milk itself doesn't have a lot of protein, but it still has a good amount. However, if you want more protein, you can add powdered milk. Yes, milk to milk. There won't be much difference in taste and you'll have added a considerable amount of protein? Plus, powdered milk is cheap. So, if you eat fruit and carbohydrates together, you will get a high protein snack.

Protein powder

Yes, it's obvious, but if you don't feel like filling your mouth with food, this is a simple solution. Most protein powders contain about 30 grams of protein per scoop, which is enough for a snack. Most chocolate protein powders can be mixed with milk for a delicious snack. Again, it's a good idea to include complex carbohydrates in the snack.

Nuts

Nuts are generally high in protein, healthy, and contain good fats. Yes, good fats... No, not trans fats or hydrogenated fats. Nuts contain fats that the body needs. However, they are still fats, so it's best not to eat large amounts of nuts every day. And when I say nuts, I don't mean salted nuts (although a little salt is not bad), beer nuts, or any type of candied or cooked nuts. If you want to stay healthy, you should eat pure nuts or even a mixture of nuts with other health benefits. The fruit and complex carbohydrates make a very healthy, protein-rich snack.

Peanut butter and banana sandwich

Whole grain bread with milk is a very healthy, tasty, and high protein snack. Do not buy peanut butter from Skippy... It will be full of extra junk and will not be of any use to you. Pay attention to the peanut butter label and look for a butter with as few ingredients as possible. Ideally, it should contain only one ingredient: Peanuts.

Here are healthy, high protein snacks that can be made quickly between meals.
