Dairy Free, Vegetarian High Protein Snacks
Eating more protein is always a good idea.
Protein keeps us fuller longer, protein helps us build muscle and recover quickly from workouts, protein stabilizes blood sugar and protein is REALLY good at keeping us lean.
Unfortunately, its reallyyy easy to munch all day on fatty and carb-rich foods, and a bit more difficult to eat a whole lotta protein. Where do we get protein? From meat, fish, dairy and, in smaller quantities, from beans, nuts and seeds.
Personally, I eat a ton of cottage cheese and Greek yogurt for snacks, but I know that "dairy free" life is totally popular nowadays. And then... there are you vegetarians out there!! So what are the dairy free vegetarians to do?
Um, check out this list below... because I promise that replacing your usual snack of a granola bars or potato chips with something bursting with protein is an AWESOME way to slim down and become a stronger athlete.
And I've done all the work. Each snack is around 200 calories or less and loaded with protein!
