Let’s face it, we probably aren’t getting enough protein every day. It’s hard, it takes work to figure out how to get it throughout the day, and sometimes it doesn’t taste good. The best way I have found to get the protein that tastes good throughout the day is through high protein snacks. If I reach for something like this, I am more full during the day and don’t reach for junk food to snack on.  

Built Bars

You know my love for Built Bars. They are delicious, which is hard to do! Almost all flavors have 17 grams of protein in one bar, and they have great flavors! I have yet to have a flavor I don’t like. The puffs are the best because they just melt in your mouth and aren’t a grainy or dry bar that you are trying to choke down. Think of a yummy flavored marshmallow. You actually like eating them. Emily likes the chocolate and the coconut brownie chunk the best. If you want to grab some, use code MODERNDAD for a discount. 

Flatbread 

This flatbread recipe is so easy to make and has only 2 ingredients in it! 

1 cup self rising flour

1 cup plain greek yogurt 

Mix until it’s not sticky, break into two even pieces and flatten it to be a quarter inch thick. Air fry the bread at 370 for 5 minutes, flip it, then cook on it for  5 minutes on the other side. 

You can eat it plain, make it into a pizza, a pita sandwich, cheesy bread, put turkey on it, or chicken caesar salad sandwich, the possibilities are endless. The best part? There are 17.5 grams of protein per piece, if you eat both that’s 35 grams! 

Egg Salad

This is one of my favorite recipes. 

4 hard boiled eggs

 ½ cup cottage cheese

1 tablespoon mayo

1 tablespoon mustard

1 tablespoon dill relish

Take 2 of the eggs and add the whites and add the other 2 eggs and cut them up, add the other ingredients and mix it up. That’s it! There are 30 grams of protein in the salad. And if you put it on the flatbread above you could have 75 grams of protein in one meal!

Greek Yogurt

1 serving greek yogurt

1 serving Clean Simple Eats chocolate protein https://cleansimpleeats.com/products/protein-powder-brownie 

½ serving Clean Simple Eats coconut cream protein       https://cleansimpleeats.com/products/protein-powder-coconut-cream

Take your Greek Yogurt up a notch with this recipe. You take everything and mix it together and add fruit on top, that’s it! With 53 grams of protein in it and fruit, this checks all the boxes you need for a healthy snack!

I hope this helps you get more protein in your day, let me know if there are other good high protein snacks you are loving right now!
