Six savory High-Protein Snacks in 10 minutes
- Hard-Boiled Eggs: Two large hard-boiled eggs provide approximately 12 grams of protein.
- Cottage Cheese: Half a cup (113 grams) of cottage cheese contains approximately 15-20 grams of protein, depending on the brand. I like Good Culture lactose free. Its less sodium and is high in protein.
- Tuna Salad: A small can of tuna (approximately 85 grams) mixed with Greek yogurt or mayonnaise can provide around 25 grams of protein.
- Jerky: A 50-gram serving of beef or turkey jerky can contain 25-30 grams of protein. I love Lorissa’s Kitchen jerky and always take it when I travel.
- Roasted Chickpeas: A cup (164 grams) of roasted chickpeas contains approximately 15 grams of protein.
- Edamame: A cup (155 grams) of roasted edamame contains about 17 grams of protein. It takes about 10 minutes in the air fryer and is a crunchy treat.
Protein content may vary slightly depending on the brand and specific product you choose, so it’s always a good idea to check the labels for accurate information.

Sometimes you are in the mood for something sweet, which is often the case for me. The FaithFueled Life App has many recipes for sweet and savory high-protein snacks. Here are a few ideas for grab-and-go high-protein snacks.
- Protein Pancakes/Waffles: Whip up a batch of protein pancakes or waffles using protein powder, eggs, and almond flour. Top with berries and a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein. I choose NOW Foods Pea Protein for my shakes and baking. Its the brand I trust and taste great. Check out my post on why I choose NOW Foods Pea Protein Powder.
