Tips for Creating High-Protein, Low-Carb Snacks

Choose Whole Foods Over Processed Options
Whole foods such as lean meats, eggs, nuts, seeds, and vegetables are packed with nutrients and give you the best bang for your nutritional buck. For example, opt for roasted chickpeas or raw almonds instead of processed protein bars that might have hidden sugars.

But if you’re craving more variety, the High Protein Blueprint has 70+ recipes that are simple, satisfying, and low-carb, so you’ll never get bored of your snacks or meals.

Incorporate Healthy Fats
Pairing high-protein snacks with healthy fats, like avocado or nuts, keeps you fuller for longer. It’s the perfect way to fuel your body while still keeping carbs in check.

Leverage Dairy Products
Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and cheese slices are not only high in protein, but they’re also packed with calcium. These creamy, satisfying options make quick snacks or additions to any meal.

Don’t Forget About Plant-Based Proteins
If you prefer plant-based options, foods like edamame, lupini beans, and tempeh are great high-protein, low-carb snacks that can help reduce your meat intake while still fueling your body.

With over 70 recipes that include both animal and plant-based proteins, the High Protein Blueprint is your ultimate resource for a well-rounded, protein-rich diet that suits your needs.

Use Protein Powder Creatively
Protein powder isn’t just for shakes. You can add it to snacks like chia puddings, Greek yogurt bowls, or protein peanut butter balls for an extra protein boost without the carbs.
