Not Your Usual Protein-Packed Snacks

By

I’m ALL about the high-protein snacks lately. I mean, I hate it when I eat a snack and then like 20 minutes later, I’m hungry again (#snackfail), so I love when I find new ones that are both tasty and satisfying. And I especially love high-protein snacks that aren’t your usual protein powder/Greek yogurt/nuts/hard-boiled eggs. Not that there’s anything wrong with these kinds of snacks. They’re some of my favorites, but I like to mix it up.

I recently had the opportunity to try some snacks from Nuts.com, and I was so impressed with the selection of high-protein, nutritious, and delicious options, I just had to share my favorites with you guys. These snacks are definitely ones that I will purchase again (and again). Speaking of which, here’s an EXTRA SPECIAL OFFER FOR CNC READERS…

Get FOUR FREE GIFTS from Nuts.com when you order $25 or more! Choose from Ultimate Malted Milk Balls, Turkish Figs, Roasted Pistachios, Chocolate Covered Sunflower Seeds, Organic Cacao Nibs (Raw), Veggie Chips, Organic Raw Cacao Goji Energy Squares, Organic Hemp Protein Powder, and so much more! 

I also wanted to give a quick shout-out to a couple of blog posts that I found on the Nuts.com website. They provide a lot of helpful information about why protein is important to your body/diet/workouts as well as suggestions for getting an adequate amount through various foods and snacks. Just wanted to pass them along! 🙂

And now, without further ado, here are my favorite, not your usual high-protein snacks. I hope they give you some good ideas for healthy, satisfying snacks in the future!

Raw Almond Cranberry Granola Bites (8 grams): Packed with oats, raw almonds, dried cranberries, raw sunflower seeds, raw pumpkin seeds and more, these bites are both nutritious and full of flavor. They’re perfect for anytime you crave a snack, especially on-the-go. They’re great as a dessert after dinner too!

Vegan “Cheese” Kale Chips (7 grams): Omgggggg, I love these all-natural and seriously delicious Vegan “Cheese” Kale Chips. These gluten-free raw kale chips are loaded with flavor and taste. They’re a wonderful alternative to regular chips since they’re loaded with essential nutrients and vitamins.

Dandy Blend with a scoop of collagen and a splash of cream (12 grams): One of my favorite afternoon treats! I love drinking it both hot and cold and sometimes adding a drop or two of flavored extracts (i.e. coconut, vanilla, etc.).

Sea Salt & Vinegar Broccoli Bites (7 grams): Mmm! These Sea Salt and Vinegar Broccoli Bites are tangy, savory and delicious. They’re gluten-free, vegan, and loaded with flavor and taste. They are a great alternative to starchy, processed snacks, and they are packed with essential nutrients and vitamins.

Vegetarian Protein Mix (10 grams): My go-to salty snack lately! Whether you’re hiking, biking or hitting the gym, be sure to grab this snack before you head out. Crunchy and delicious, it’s loaded with roasted golden chickpeas, salted fava beans, unsalted edamame, unsalted dry roasted cashews, and salted soybeans. It’s great as post-workout snack or just as a healthy pick-me-up.

BBQ Peanuts (7 grams): I can’t get enough of these BBQ peanuts! With 7 grams of protein in each serving, they’re loaded with mouthwatering BBQ flavor. They’re perfectly roasted and seasoned with a smokey barbecue seasoning. In addition protein, each serving also contains 3 grams of fiber.

Question of the Day

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
