What’s your ‘genius’ high protein snack/meal?

[iamsuperb]

@nilsa A can of vegetarian chili with low fat cottage cheese mixed in. Good carbs and good protein, for usually less than 500cal with ~30+g protein and very filling

West End chicken skewers from Costco, 2 is 24g protein for 150cal

Quest protein chips are 140cal a bag and 18-19g of protein. Not the greatest on their own, but they supplement a turkey sandwich pretty well!

This needs work, but last night I made pasta with plain greek yogurt (with garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, a little olive oil) and salmon, which clocked me at about 66g of protein. Very filling, but wasn’t superrrr tasty and took me over my fat goal for the day. Someone add suggestions to this if they have any!

@iamsuperb buy a french onion dip packet! or ranch.. or gravy… i would mix that with the greek yogurt. oooo pesto packet! they are so cheap and each packet will get you a couple uses

@iamsuperb 0-2% fat Greek yogurt

@nilsa I may be crazy but i swear by mixing ice cream with greek yogurt to balance it out. It tastes amazing to me, idk why but it's my new go to.

@nilsa egg white protein powder- since whey breaks me out and i have a bunch of food allergies to plant protein powders!

@aleigh2639 What brand do you use?

 

[aleigh2639]

@intermediary the brand is called “It’s Just!” and it’s just egg white powder. got it on amazon!

 

[intermediary]

@aleigh2639 Thank you!

 

[kal20]

@aleigh2639 i've never heard of this! can you use it in shakes/smoothies like protein powder?

 

[aleigh2639]

@kal20 yes! that is exactly how I use mine. i think there are also some flavored varieties too though i just use an unflavored one.

 

[nilsa]

@aleigh2639 I’m worried whey breaks me out too. Does egg white protein powder give you any sulfur overload symptoms?

 

[aleigh2639]

@nilsa haven’t experienced that w egg white protein powder! though i generally have a high baseline daily intake of eggs (4-5 a day? when im not using the powder/ before i started using it)

 

[nilsa]

@aleigh2639 I’m so heartbroken that it’s happening to me. It otherwise felt REALLY good…and I have no issues w dairy otherwise!

@nilsa I eat a bowl of cereal with vanilla protein powder mixed with water. I don’t care for milk, and this gives its it a milk like texture. Also, vanilla pretty much goes with any cereal of your liking!

@nilsa Hemp hearts. 2TBS is 10g protein. Sprinkle it in yogurt. salad, smoothies, really anything.

 

[nilsa]

@dawn16 This is pretty genius!

@nilsa Egg life wrap, turkey, laughing cow cheese. Protein packed with little calories!

 

[jswish89]

@nilsa Soy skyr with a sugar free flavoring powder and most importantly: Soy crispies. 20g Soy crispies are 76kcal and 15g protein. I absolutely hate protein powder but those are even pretty good. Plus they can be made into bars as well.

@nilsa South African beef jerky; so yummy and sugar-free.

@saintcody777 Do you have a link? I’m intrigued.
