Here’s 10 of my most addictive snack ideas that I’m enjoying right now.
Yes, they are gluten free, really healthy, and even more delicious. Oh and they are quick to prep! I enjoy eating the Trim Healthy Mama (THM) way, but these work well for other healthy eating plans as well.
Try to aim for 20g protein with your snacks and keep your carbs in check, meaning don’t go too long without them and don’t overdue them.
Wasa crackers with Coach Kanada’s peanut butter
These are one of my favorites. I like to top two of these with flax seed, strawberry slices, cinnamon, and almond whip cream. These are dairy-free and a fuel pull (FP) for THM. To add more protein, I will add collagen to my drink. Needing a crossover? Add a small piece of fruit and use regular peanut butter.
Yogurt (One way)
Pick a 000 yogurt or a Two Good yogurt because they are low in fat and carbs, but have a good amount of protein for a snack. Top them w/ keto granola and berries. With all the fat that comes in Keto granola, we will call this one an S. If you are looking to make it a crossover, add a small piece of fruit.
Yogurt (Another way)
Grab one of the yogurts I mentioned above and add 2 Tbsp of pb powder and a serving of Lily’s chocolate chips (about 33?) or 85% chocolate chopped up. The Two Good Yogurt will be an “S” snack, whereas the 000 yogurt will be an S helper. Both are great for quick snack ideas.
Vanilla Iced Coffee
Mmm… Iced coffee. Add some vanilla bean protein powder to your iced coffee wit some unsweetened nut milk and you have a yummy FP (full pull) (low fat, low carb) to keep moving to your next meal. The Trim Healthy Mama protein powder also brings in 20 g of protein which is very satisfying.
Smoothie
Sure, you’re thinking I’ve had those. However? Try a new recipe, there are so many out there. If you pack enough protein then they are filling and not as likely to just spike your blood sugar and leave you crashing on the couch later while your toddler runs wild. (Ask me how I know) Haha. Do smoothies right and you are full, happy, blood-sugar controlled and have the energy to keep moving.
Here I a couple to try full of prebiotics for your gut: Cherry Vanilla Kefir Smoothie and shown below is the Berry Kefir Smoothie.
Fruit and Beef Jerky
Stuck at a gas station for options, grab some overpriced fruit and a piece of beef jerky. It may bother you how much you’re paying for it, but you will feel better later. Look for beef jerky that is sugar free or under 2g.
Protein Bars
I prefer sucralose free quest bars or RX bars as they have a good amount of protein. Also the Think Keto bars are good, although they melt quickly and will leak in your purse (ugh!) The Quest cookie is a good option that is easy to find as well.
Lunchmeat Roll-ups
Pick out your favorite lunch meat and your favorite cheese. I like to add a little dijon to mine and some lettuce for crunch. These are also found at many gas stations if you need a quick snack.
No Bake Protein Bites
My favorite recipe currently is the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites found in the Trim Healthy Future cookbook page 312. They made a great S snack. I make up a batch of these and freeze them for when I need a sweet protein snack.
Bam Cake
So delicious! There are several flavors out there to choose from, but so far mine is still the Pumpkin Bam Cake from The Trim Healthy Table Cookbook. It doesn’t matter what month it is, it’s still so good. I also freeze these individually to pull out for snacks and pair with a protein source like collagen in my drink.
