High-protein snack plates are one of my favorite ways to help clients stay nourished, energized, and satisfied—especially during busy days. They’re simple, customizable, nutrient-dense, and feel like a “mini meal” without the time commitment of cooking an entire recipe.

Think of them as your healthy girl-dinner, wellness-focused edition. Whether you’re trying to hit your protein goals, support weight loss, fuel your workouts, or simply add more balanced meals into your day, these snack plates can make eating well feel effortless.

Each of the plates below includes 275–325 calories and a strong dose of protein, plus options to modify ingredients so they work for your preferences, macros, and dietary needs.

Tips for Building Your Own Snack Plate

Use this simple formula:

Protein + Color + Healthy Fat + Crunch

Examples:

Protein → tuna, chicken, eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, salmon, edamame
Color → tomatoes, cucumbers, berries, peppers, olives
Healthy fats → olive oil, nuts, avocado, seeds
Crunch → veggies, crackers, toasted nuts

Because appetite can be limited, your protein source is the priority — then you build around it.
