]]> Protein-rich snacks are a great way to support muscle recovery, maintain energy levels, and stay satisfied throughout the day. Whether you’re on the go or at home, these snacks are convenient, delicious, and sure to give you the protein boost you need. Here are three options that are both delicious and nutritious.

Greek Yogurt With Nuts

Greek yogurt is a rich source of protein, offering around 15-20 grams per serving. Pair it with a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts for an extra protein boost and added crunch. Nuts also provide healthy fats and fiber, making this snack satisfying and energizing.

Hard-Boiled Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs are a convenient and portable snack that’s high in protein, with around six grams per egg. They’re also rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium. Enjoy them on their own or slice them up and add them to salads or whole grain crackers for a quick and easy protein boost.

Cottage Cheese With Fruit

Cottage cheese is another excellent source of protein, offering approximately 15 grams per half-cup serving. Pair it with your favorite fruits like berries, pineapple, or peach slices for a sweet and savory snack that’s packed with protein and vitamins. The combination of cottage cheese and fruit provides a satisfying blend of protein, carbs, and fiber to keep you full and satisfied between meals.

]]> Nuts are rich in various nutrients which make them one of the best snacks around. High in fats, low in carbs, a handful can keep you going for a couple of hours (though you may want more because they taste so good!)

Step #1

If you prefer your nuts to be flavored, you can mix up a seasoning. A sweet and spicy version involves combining sugar, salt, chili powder, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper, and tossing the nuts through. If you prefer something plainer, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt.

Step #2

Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Lay out the nuts evenly. You want your oven to not be above 300°F as roasting nuts at high temperatures can have a negative effect on the nut fat which is good for your heart. 

Step #3

Roast the nuts for around 45 minutes. Stir them once during the process so that each side becomes golden and toasty. Once done, allow the nuts to cool on the baking tray, stirring occasionally.

]]> Move over pumpkin spice, there’s a new flavor in town and it’s taking over everywhere from grocery stores to liquor shops. It’s a bit more complex than plain vanilla, with a comforting taste that reminds us of nights by the campfire with family and friends. We expect to be filling our refrigerators and pantries with marshmallow-flavored goodies until at least Christmas. Here are a few we can’t get enough of.

Nutpods Toasted Marshmallow Non-Dairy Coffee Creamer

We love Nutpods as a healthier alternative to traditional flavored coffee creamers, which are often filled with unhealthy oils. Their Toasted Marshmallow flavor makes a delicious addition to any cup of coffee or even mixed into a hot bowl of oatmeal in the morning.

Trader Joe’s Smashing S’mores

The classic treat we love, made portable. Layers of Graham cracker and marshmallow pair perfectly inside a rich blanket of tasty milk chocolate. These bad boys can be eaten as is or popped in the microwave for a few seconds for a seriously indulgent treat.

‘Shmallow Toasted Marshmallow Bourbon

Curl up by the fire and enjoy a nice evening inside with a glass of the new toasted marshmallow-flavored bourbon by Hotel Tango Distillery. It’s delicious on its own or served in a mixed drink with your favorite cola, juice, or eggnog.
