Out running errands? Have these snacks on hand to avoid the drive-thru!
Picture this: you started out your Sunday with the best of intentions. You made breakfast at home, grabbed a coffee on your way to the first store, and had a grand plan in place. But then, around 11am your body is starting to send you cues that you are getting hungry. You press on with no snacks on hand, trying to avoid spending money on the convenient drive-thru options. It’s now 12:30 and you’re getting more agitated as your blood sugar drops. You next interaction with another human will likely not go well if you don’t get something to stave off this hangry feeling.
We’ve all been there, right? ????
Keep these 4 snacks on hand to make sure you don’t have this experience ever again!
1. Jerky – Beef, Chicken, or Turkey
These are the epitome of protein and convenience! They are portable and pack a protein punch with around 15-30g of protein per stick, depending on the brand you choose. Check out our favorites here and here!
2. Protein Bars
It can be hard to select a protein bar with so many of them filling the shelves. We always recommend looking for bars that have a minimum of 15 grams of protein. Don’t always believe when things are labeled as “high protein,” and make sure to look at the nutrition label! The bars we recommend come from 1st Phorm, and Barebells!
3. Roasted Chick Peas
If you are a fan of crunchy and salty, these will be an amazing snack for you to keep on hand! They offer anywhere from 6-10g of protein and a little fiber to satisfy hunger for a bit
4. Nuts and Seeds
Be mindful of trail mix and other big bags as it can be easy to overeat, but the individual packets you find at most gas stations are a great protein and healthy fat source!
