Tips for Adding High-Protein Snacks to Your Routine
Here are some simple tips to make the most of these recipes every day:
- Wrap them individually and store in the fridge or freezer for snacks that are always ready to grab and go.
- Prep portions ahead of time in reusable containers or Mason jars.
- Add some crunch: a sprinkle of granola, hemp seeds, or nuts can make all the difference!
- Keep a stash at work or in your bag—especially bars, muffins, or cookies.
- Switch up the toppings for variety (e.g., berries, cinnamon, coconut, etc.).
- Plan your snacks for the week on Sunday to avoid reaching for ultra-processed choices.
- Double the recipe when you’re already cooking—it’s just as easy to make enough for several days!
