Our body needs enough protein to function smoothly. Proteins’ ability to speed up metabolism makes it a nutrient worthy of inclusion in both meals and snacks. Protein not only forces your body to use more calories than carbohydrates during digestion, it also helps you build and maintain muscle and prevents your body from storing extra fat.
You don’t need to limit your protein intake to three main meals. You can consume these healthy, natural high-protein snacks for snacks between meals, when you need a post-workout boost, or for a healthy and delicious dinner for your family.
Blueberry yogurt
I love protein snacks that require no preparation, and this is one of them. Combine honey, yogurt, blueberries and almonds and freeze. They will be the perfect snack for you on hot days. Thanks to almonds and yogurt, it also increases your protein intake.
Probiotic with vegetable sauce
Kefir is almost the star of protein snacks. Mix the vegetables and make a sauce. Mix it with kefir and consume whenever you want. You can also add avocado and honey, if desired.
Frozen yogurt bars
Frozen yogurt bars are a great option for an energy-boosting snack in hot weather. While yogurt strengthens your metabolism, the honey you add to it will give it some sweetness. You can add cranberries or raisins on top. If you don’t like these fruits, you can add your favorite dried fruits instead.
