You hear a lot about protein when working out and when you want to add muscle. From my experience, you feel fuller longer when you have a source of protein in your meal or snack. It comes in many different forms and I am including some that I think you will love. (This post contains affiliate links, but all the reviews are my own. I do not get any compensation from any of the products. I just like to share items that I love and feel others would love too.)
1 – Nuts N More nut butter – This is the yummiest nut butter and it has added protein in it. I LOVE the toffee peanut butter and they also have almond butter, peanut butter and some other flavored peanut butters. Tastes great!!
2 – Lenny and Larry’s Muscle Brownies – These are the best tasting brownies out there. The fact that they are protein packed is just an added extra. If you love brownies, these will quickly become one of your favorites.
3 – Greek Yogurt – If you like yogurt and haven’t tried Greek yogurt, you need to try it. It is thicker and more filling than regular yogurt. Just about every company that makes yogurt has added Greek yogurt to their product line. I have tried many of the food store brands and they are just as good at a cheaper price. I especially like Oikos Triple Zero…so yummy.
4 – Flapjacked protein pancake mix – This mix is so yummy and doesn’t have that protein powdery taste. It tastes just like any good pancake mix. It comes in different flavors, but I like the buttermilk the best because you can add whatever you like to it…I love bananas or chocolate chips.
5 – Chocolate Cheesecake Pudding – Here is a recipe for chocolate cheesecake pudding…yum. You can use any type of protein powder. I personally like vegan protein powder because it doesn’t have that protein powdery taste or smell. I especially love Shakeology chocolate vegan. You can use whatever type suits your tastes.
What are your favorite go-to protein foods or snacks??
Thank you so much for sharing these tips! I love almond butter but haven’t tried the brand that you mentioned! I will definitely have to check it out!!
Thank you again for sharing!

Greek yogurt is my favorite afternoon snack. I’m very pregnant right now, and having that keeps me from eating every unhealthy thing in our pantry at 4 pm every day!
I love Greek yogurt too…happy, healthy baby to you:)
Have you tried almond butter? The maple almond butter is my favorite. It goes so well in smoothies for an extra protein punch!
I like almond butter too…I never thought to put it in smoothies…thanks
I usually add a sprouted grain protein powder to my breakfast smoothies, but these options are great! Especially the toffee peanut butter.
I’ve never heard of sprouted grain protein powder…I’ll have to check it out….the toffee PB is my favorite
We eat a lot of greek yogurt too. We have a lot of cheese and fruit for snacks. I will have to check out some of the others you mentioned.

Thanks for sharing. I always need to have some source of protein in my meals or I start feeling shaky before too long. I love the greek yogurt! My daughter thinks of it as desert. Lol
I have to have protein too…I wish that I thought Greek yogurt was a dessert…sweets are my weakness:)
Awesome. I’m always looking for good snacks.
Thank you Kerin
Mmmmm I love Greek yogurt! After working out I also love making smoothies and adding some protein powder to give it a extra punch (:
Sounds yummy:)
I LOVE nut butter. Any nut butter at all. So thanks for putting this kind on my radar! I’ve always adored Greek yogurt.
You are welcome Sabrina
Great snack ideas!
Thanks Lee Anne
We love nut butter and yogurt. Pancakes sound delicious.
Those are best pancakes…give them a try.
Thanks for providing these suggestions! I definitely think most of us need more protein in our diets. I started incorporating more in my diet about 6 months ago. My favorite protein treats are herbalife cookies and cream protein shakes, greek yogurt and fiber one cookies and cream protein bars.
Great treats…I am always looking for tasty protein treats to add to my list
Those are good suggestions. I am always looking for new ways to get protein in my diet. It definitely sustains my energy through the day.
I agree Jenny…protein is a must
Nut butter all day! Love this, I need to try the brownie bars.

These look really good! Thanks for sharing! I’ve always been a big fan of Clif Bars!
I am thinking of starting to make my own pancake mix. The kids eat them so often and I want to get more protein into them. Greek yogurt is awesome ::)
I’m sure you could add a little protein powder to regular pancake mix:)
Good ideas to keep you full in between meals!
Great snack ideas. I love Greek yogurt and that’s my easy go to protein powered snack. Good to know about the others. Thanks
You are welcome Rosemary
