Weekly Meal Plan #3: Snacks gives you 5 healthy and protein-packed snack ideas to help you get fit again. Snacking can be a challenge because sometimes we don’t know what to eat.
My advice, make sure there’s protein in there. It’ll help tide you over until your next meal, but also supports living the FitLife.
I’m a 3 meals a day type of lady with a snack usually between lunch and dinner. That also happens to be the time of day when I workout. And I can’t be hangry working out. To help combat the hanger, I’ll usually have a snack before the gym. I make it a protein-packed one (like 80% of the time) to keep me feeling good during my workouts.
From school, I had learned the importance of protein for getting fit and changing my body. But it wasn’t until I completed my Level 1 with Precision Nutrition did I see the true importance of getting protein at most meals each day, including snacks. Since implementing what I’ve learned into my own eating plan, I’m always looking for fun and different snacks ideas that support my fitness goals.
Here are 5 protein-packed snacks to add to your meal plan.
Quinoa Omelette Bites by tbsp.
Omelettes don’t always have to be for breakfast. I like the combination of eggs and quinoa for some real protein bang for your buck. Plus you get some veggies in, which you can never go wrong with that.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites by Chef Savvy
Even though I have a peanut allergy, this is a great one too, especially before or after a workout. Get a protein powder that you like and enjoy. I’m a big fan of Vega Protein because they also have greens and probiotics in it. When I try this one, I’m going to use sunflower seed butter. It was less protein than peanut butter but is still a good source of healthy fats.
Classic Hummus with Turmeric by yours truly
Chickpeas are a great source of protein. Pack some hummus with veggies in a small mason jar or tupperware, and we have a quick on the go protein snack.
High protein fruit dip by in Katrina’s Kitchen
Make your fruit dip count and help you get fit with this recipe. I love fruit dip and love this one even more because it packs some extra protein.
Pumpkin Pie Protein No-Bake Bites by HUMMUSAPIEN
If you’re basic like me and love pumpkin, these are going to be a fave of yours. All the coconut, and all that protein. mmm, my mouth is watering. This one is sure to please and easy to take with you.
And that’s all I have. Now you have 5 more snack ideas to get your protein in and help you reach your fitness goals!
