Protein packed snacks
Hi ladies, I need some more ideas for snacks. I used to have Luna bars for morning and afternoon snack. But they can get a bit too sweet, so I changed it to a banana with peanut butter for morning snack and mixed nuts in the afternoons, 3pm. But that just makes me feel so hungry by 5pm. So I am now on a Luna bar, fruit with peanut butter, and mixed nut rotation.
Any more ideas? I do not do dairy or dairy like stuff. (It's mostly the taste that gets me, so even soy/almond milk makes me gag)
I was thinking of maybe some the cut up turkey cubes you see in the packaged lunch meat, but that's processed food and I try to stay away from that, but maybe it wouldn't hurt to that about 2 times a week, no?
Okay, I'm rambling now... TIA.

What about switching the Luna bar to a Luna Protein bar or Clif builder bar? They both have higher protein content and will keep you full longer.
Other ideas:
-apple with PB
-Nuts/seeds
-Protein powder (in a smoothie, water, etc)
I started keeping beef jerky in my desk for my morning snack a few weeks ago. It's not the best tasting snack, but it is filling.
I personally stay away from nitrates.(in processed meat and ham). I also try to avoid the un-pronounceables in protein bars.
I just ate my 2 high protein waffles for breakfast and I eat it as fingerfood, dry. But with 26g protein, that might be an idea. You might have to keep it refrigerated until snack time. At least they wil travel well.
I love dry roasted edamame, which is crunchy and has a nutty flavor. I'm a big fan of turkey and beef jerky. Greek yogurt with a little honey is great too!
ETA: Just noticed you don't like dairy - sorry about the greek yogurt rec!
