Make your snack game strong with these 16 high protein snack ideas! 💪

If you’re wanting to optimize muscle protein synthesis (muscle growth, repair and recovery), it’s a good idea to get 4-6 protein rich meals or snacks in a day or a protein source every 3-4 hours.

That’s what makes high protein snacks a great addition! You don’t need a full meal to get a good source of protein in 💪🏼🍳.

Plus, protein is a satiating macronutrient. Meaning it will keep you full longer and help balance your blood sugars. (And help you power through the afternoon slump)

We want to pair protein rich components with a carb source and some color. That way you will have yourself a well balanced, protein rich snack 😊
