21 High Protein Snack Ideas to Grab N Go

Discover 21 high protein snack ideas that are easy to grab and go in order to promote fat loss in the kitchen and lean muscle gain in the gym! It’s FASTer Way Friday here at Hammers N Hugs, and today we are chatting protein snacks! Did you know that protein is the MOST important macronutrient (carbs, fats, proteins) to consume in order to build lean muscle and lose fat?  My clients frequently hear me say that “fat loss happens in the kitchen and muscle tone happens in the gym.”  And protein is the name of the game for both! Clients learn lots of strategies to hit their individually calculated macronutrient goals (a formula based on  weight, body type, age, gender, and activity level), but one key strategy if having the right  snacks available. So let’s check out 21 high protein snacks to grab n go! Bon appetit!

#8.  Greek Yogurt

If it is not organic, then I recommend Chobani.  You have to be careful because most companies sneak in a lot of sugar and food additives (I’m lookin’ at you high-fructose corn syrup).  For a dairy-free version consider almond yogurt.
