High Protein Snacks

Getting enough protein to hit your macronutrient goals each and every day is hard. Protein doesn’t just build muscle, but it also maintains the muscle mass you already have. As athletes, stock up on some go-to high protein snacks to eat between meals. It's a convenient way to ensure you hit your protein intake so you can reach your health and fitness goals.

Quest Chips 

High Protein Snacks

There was a time when you were given an ultimatum. Either you feast on Doritos Nacho Cheese chips and lose any chance of having that chiseled six-pack of abs. Or, you gave them up, in hopes that one day you might meet again. Well, what if I said, you could have the same delicious nacho cheese chips AND have those abs?

Quest chips are great for athletes and could be the greatest high protein snack ever known to man. Not only do these delicious savory crunchy snacks come in seven delicious flavors, but they have 19g of protein per bag and only 140 calories. It doesn’t get much better than that. You can grab a whole pack of 12 bags, for $24.99 in chili lime, loaded taco, bbq, ranch, nacho cheese, cheddar and sour cream, or sour cream and onion

Power Crunch Bars

High Protein Snacks

Power crunch bars have been one of my favorite high protein snacks for years. Their protein wafer bar is unrivaled not only in taste but in overall macros. Power Crunch Bars have 12-14g of protein per bar, 10-13g of fat, and 11g of carbs, with only 5-8g of sugar. Power crunch bars come in 10 delicious flavors; wild berry crème, salted caramel, peanut butter fudge, French vanilla crème, peanut butter crème, chocolate mint, triple chocolate, cookies & crème, red velvet, and lemon meringue. They also recently came out with a protein wafer bar, that has 20g of protein called the power crunch pro.  

Whey Protein Isolate

High Protein Snacks

Protein shakes are probably are the most convenient, highest protein snack out there. But what type of protein is the best? Whey protein isolate has the highest yield of protein per serving. Unlike whey protein, Whey protein isolate goes through a much more rigorous filtration process, called Cross-Flow Micro-Filtration as compared to whey protein concentrate. Through this filtration process, protein is separated from any additional fat, carbohydrates, cholesterol, and lactose, resulting in a more purified form of protein. Swolverine’s Whey Protein Isolate has 26G of protein per 30g serving and comes in three delicious flavors, Chocolate Milkshake, Vanilla Milkshake, and Honey Cinnamon Peanut Butter. Double up, and you’ve got 52G of protein in your shaker cup. Adding some unflavored Swolverine Collagen Protein and Greek yogurt to the mix for a post-workout shake can take it up another 30g in no time. Check out some of the delicious protein shake recipes below

Cottage Cheese

High Protein Snacks

Although cottage cheese is an acquired taste, that does not take away from the fact, that it's pumped full of protein. Whey is made from the cheese manufacturing process, and cottage cheese is part of that process. With 25-28g of protein per cup, Cottage cheese has just as much protein as an entire chicken breast. Want to sweeten the deal in this high protein snack for athletes? Add some fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, apples, or blackberries.
