The high protein sources in this snack come from the cottage cheese and the egg whites. But the yolk provides healthy fats and the veggies provide micronutrients!

If you want to make my go-to protein smoothie I’ve been making years, its this one right here:

• 1 banana

• 2 small handfuls of a mixed berry frozen fruit blend

• Handful of spinach

• 1 heaping spoon of peanut butter

• 1 scoop protein powder

• Just a little bit of water (thicker smoothies = less water, drinkable smoothies = more water)

The protein comes from the protein supplement, the peanut butter provides healthy fats and additional protein. This meal also provides a healthy range of micronutrients from the fruit and spinach.

I love the way Hannah Magee RD presented the smoothie here - you can try this version here. She’s also a registered dietician, so she may be one you may want to explore further for more healthy recipe ideas too! By the way, we don’t have any affiliation, just sharing some ideas. :)

• whole grain crackers

• can or packet of tuna

• red & yellow bell peppers

This is a simple, more processed meal, but its great for on-the go. The tuna provides protein. The bell pepper provides some micronutrients and the whole grain crackers are a healthier, less-processed snack option that pairs well with tuna!

• 1/3 of the container of greek yogurt

• 1 heaping tablespoon

• 1 apple, sliced in small pieces

• Granola

The Greek yogurt provides the high protein source, along with the peanut butter (which is also providing the fats). The fruit provides micronutrients, and the granola provides healthy carbs.

You can also eat it like a dip like Mom Always Finds Out does here!

• 1 egg

• 3 egg whites

• Chopped mixed frozen vegetables

The egg whites provide the healthy carb sources. The yolk provides the healthy fats, and the veggies provide the micronutrients and fiber! This recipe will make you three egg muffins!

We made modifications to this recipe to fit our preferences, but the original inspiration for this recipe comes from Bake it Paleo! You can follow the original recipe (vegan and nut free recipe), or our modifications which aren’t vegan or nut free.

• 1 large ripe banana

• 1/2 cup peanut butter

• 1 scoop protein powder

• cinnamon

• vanilla extract

• dark chocolate (70-100% cacao)

• coconut oil

The protein powder provides the protein source, along with the peanut butter, which also contributes to the fats. The banana provides micronutrients, and the high percentage for cacao in dark chocolate is a healthier option for flavor and fun in your snacks!

• Chia seeds

• Protein powder

• Mixed berries

• Peanut butter

• Greek yogurt

• Almond milk

• Granola

The protein powder and Greek yogurt are the main protein sources, but the chia seeds and peanut butter also provide larger amounts of protein as well! There are also lots nutrients and flavor from the berries and granola.

• whole grain bread (toasted)

• peanut butter

• banana

• cinammon (optional, but this is how I prefer it for a lil desserty vibe)

This is a vegan-friendly option, but anyone can enjoy this as a snack! The protein sources for this option comes from the whole grain bread and peanut butter. The whole grain bread, fats, and banana all of course provide benefits for our health xp too!

• Greek yogurt

• Blueberries

The protein comes from the Greek yogurt and the berries are a low calorie ball of micronutrients!
