If you are looking for some simple protein-rich snack ideas then I got your back! Here are 10 Protein Snacks that make a great addition to your lunchbox.
Granola. There is something so satisfying and versatile about a good granola mixture. Granola can be a healthy breakfast option in a bowl with milk and fruit, sprinkled on top of greek yogurt, or even as a baked topping on your breakfast muffins. Granola can also be a high protein, high energy snack that you can take on a hike with you or as a 3 pm snack. Granola can even elevate your dessert by adding a crunchy topping to your roasted stone-fruit and whipped cream. Clearly, I am a fan of yogurt.
These chips are crunchy, sweet, and totally addicting. The cinnamon-sugar topping is optional too, for an everyday snack I will just bake the apples plain or with a little cinnamon, so you can choose to omit the sugar entirely. It is important that you slice them thin, if they are left too thick then they turn mushy and will be in your over for hours and hours. A little trick is once the time is up I actually don’t remove the sheet to cool on the counter but turn the oven off and let them cool down as the oven cools down. This ensures they are nice and crunchy.
Ants on a log. An uncomplicated and fun way to get your kids to eat veggies and a plant-based protein, right? For some parents this snack still works, but for many, there are allergy considerations to take into account, and the need to comply with your school’s requirements to protect those children who can have severe allergic reactions.
