Ever found yourself in this situation? It’s 3:00 in the afternoon and all of a sudden your tummy is a rumbling…what to do? You reach into your bag and it’s empty. You think maybe I could go grab one of those cookies my coworker brought in! Hmm, but maybe I shouldn’t…

I know many of you can relate! I know I have as well as many of my clients. Snack time is the one time of day our temptations can get the best of us, but there is a solution! It requires a bit of preparation and cooking, but it’s oh so worth it. Having healthy pre-made snacks at home, in your bag or office drawer will make snack time a bit less stressful and decrease your temptation to snack on goodies or processed snack foods.

With the help of some fellow dietitians and healthy food bloggers I have compiled a list of over 20 portable high protein snacks. Each snack will help satisfy your hunger and are mighty tasty!
