12 High-Protein Snacks That Actually Taste Good
Posted by Portions Master on 6th Apr 2025
Protein snacks get a bad rap. Some taste like chalk, others like cardboard, and too many are packed with sugar disguised as "healthy." But here's the truth—you don't have to suffer through bland protein bars or dry chicken breast between meals. There are plenty of high-protein snacks that are actually delicious and keep you full. Let's get into it.
1. Greek Yogurt with Honey and Nuts
A powerhouse of protein and probiotics, Greek yogurt is an easy grab-and-go option. Look for plain varieties (flavored ones sneak in sugar) and top with honey and nuts for crunch and natural sweetness.
2. String Cheese and Almonds
Portable, tasty, and satisfying. One stick of string cheese delivers about 7g of protein, and paired with almonds, you get an extra protein punch and some healthy fats.
3. Jerky (But Read the Label!)
Beef, turkey, or salmon jerky is a protein-packed snack, but beware of added sugars and preservatives. Look for brands with minimal ingredients and high protein per serving.
4. Hard-Boiled Eggs with Everything Bagel Seasoning
Hard-boiled eggs are a classic protein snack, but if plain eggs bore you, sprinkle on some Everything Bagel seasoning for a flavor boost.
5. Roasted Chickpeas
Crunchy, salty, and packed with plant-based protein, roasted chickpeas are an underrated snack. They deliver fiber too, keeping you fuller for longer.
6. Edamame with Sea Salt
These little green protein bombs are a fantastic plant-based snack. Buy them frozen and steam in minutes for an easy, protein-rich bite.
7. Tuna or Salmon Packets
No prep needed! These single-serve packets of tuna or salmon offer an instant 15-20g of protein. Pair with whole-grain crackers or eat straight from the pouch.
8. Cottage Cheese with Berries
Cottage cheese is a protein heavyweight, and when combined with berries, it balances sweet and savory perfectly.
9. Protein Bars (Choose Wisely!)
Not all protein bars are created equal. Look for ones with at least 15g of protein, low sugar, and real ingredients. Skip the ones that are basically candy bars in disguise.
10. Hummus with Veggies
A delicious way to sneak in protein and fiber. Chickpea-based hummus pairs well with crunchy vegetables for a satisfying snack.
11. Peanut Butter and Banana on Whole-Grain Toast
A classic combo with natural protein from peanut butter and whole grains, plus an energy boost from the banana.
12. Portions Master Vegan and Whey Proteins
For a quick protein fix, mix up a Portions Master Whey or Vegan Protein shake. Whether you prefer dairy or plant-based options, our proteins help you hit your goals without sacrificing taste.
