1. Greek Yogurt & Berries
A creamy, protein-packed option loaded with probiotics and antioxidants.
How to make it:Top ¾ cup of plain Greek yogurt with ½ cup fresh or frozen berries. Add a sprinkle of chia seeds or crushed almonds for crunch.
➡️ Protein: 15–20g
2. Hard-Boiled Eggs & Avocado
Healthy fats meet clean protein in this simple but powerful snack.
Pro Tip:Slice your egg in half and mash a little avocado on top with sea salt and chili flakes.
➡️ Protein: 6g per egg
3. Cottage Cheese & Pineapple
The sweet-and-salty combo hits the spot — and it’s surprisingly filling.
Bonus:Choose low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese depending on your macro goals.
➡️ Protein: 13g per ½ cup
4. Protein Smoothie
Quick, customizable, and portable.
Basic blend:1 scoop protein powder, ½ banana, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, and a handful of spinach or frozen cauliflower for added fiber.
➡️ Protein: 20–30g
5. Roasted Chickpeas
Crunchy, savory, and fiber-rich.
DIY version:Toss canned chickpeas in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and sea salt. Bake at 400°F for 30–40 mins.
➡️ Protein: 5g per ¼ cup
6. Tuna & Whole-Grain Crackers
Skip the mayo and mix tuna with mustard, a splash of lemon, and diced pickles or celery.
Go-to combo:¼ can of tuna with 4–6 whole grain crackers.
➡️ Protein: 12–15g
7. Almond Butter & Apple Slices
A classic for a reason — carbs for energy, fat for satiety.
Watch the serving size:1 tbsp almond butter + ½ an apple is a great balance.
➡️ Protein: 4g | Healthy fats: 9g
8. Turkey or Chicken Roll-Ups
Deli meat can be clean — just read the labels. Wrap slices of turkey around cucumber sticks, pickles, or light cheese.
Wrap & go:2–3 roll-ups make a protein-rich snack with low carbs.

10. Edamame with Sea Salt
These protein-packed soybeans are easy to prep and rich in fiber.
Just steam & season:1 cup shelled edamame with a pinch of sea salt or low-sodium soy sauce.
