Ideas For Protein Snacks?

[BRCoats]

Hi All,

I'm looking for ideas for some high protein snacks. It can have some carbs, but not a bunch. I eat little bits throughout the day (except for lunch time, and that's still pretty small). So I find myself feeling like I have to fix a chicken breast or something in order to just get a quick fix.....which isn't so quick. I eat a lot of cashews on the run....but that's getting old. I also eat bananas with peanut butter for a quick fix...also getting old. I'm trying to stay away from a lot of processed food too.

Thanks for any help you can offer. I'm evidently not very creative when it comes to food. Oh....no dairy, fiber, or anything acidic.

Cheese if you can have it.

Soy yogurt's not bad depending on how sensitive you are.

Almonds are a nice change from cashews.

Hard boiled eggs.

Making your own baked foods is also an option (bar foods that are like granola bars and have a lot of nuts and so forth).

tarnalberry,

I had a horribly reaction to almond milk, so I'm thinking I am allergic to them. ?? I can have cheese, and I picked up some soy yogurt today. We'll see if it makes me ill. Hard boiled eggs are what I do in the morning sometimes. But hadn't really thought of doing them throughout the day. (Duh)

Thanks for the suggestions. Does anyone know of any protein bars that are gluten-free?

Tiger's Milk bars are good for protein. I'm not sure about carbs, milk, or acidity though.

Organic Food Bars have a number of gluten-free flavors, but check the ingredients - I'm not sure if they all have tree nuts. Open Original Shared Link Note that the "green" flavors are not necessarily gluten-free, though they like to put that on the label, due to the presence of wheat grass.
