Nuts
Peanuts, pistachios, walnuts, almonds or seeds, such as
pumpkin or sunflower, are good combinations of healthy fats and protein.
Although nuts are packed full of protein, fiber and healthy fats, keep portions
small: Just 14 almonds or 20 pistachios equals 100 calories. Also keep sodium
levels in check by choosing unsalted varieties.
Energy
Bars
Consider replacing your favorite candy bar with an energy or
granola bar to boost your protein and fiber intake while avoiding the sugar
trap.
Trail Mixes
Trail mix is a quick and easy make-at-home snack that will
keep well in a storage container with lid. Combine granola, raw nuts and seeds,
and dried fruits for a basic trail mix.
Sandwiches
Sandwiches can be a quick and easy way to keep hunger at bay
while adding some good protein and hearty grains to your daily nutrition.
Sandwiches prepared with lean meats may need to be placed in a cooler. Other
options such as peanut butter (or any other nut butter) and jelly on whole
grain bread can be kept at room temperature.
