High Protein Healthy Snacks For On The Go | Body Recomposition
In this video I will give you my top 8 easy high protein healthy snacks for on the go eating. Instead of grabbing fast food or hitting up the vending machine, having healthy snacks that are high protein in your bag, car, or desk can help you stay in your calorie deficit or achieve your body recomposition goals. Many of the high protein low calorie snacks I mention are from Costco Canada, but I’m sure are available in the US as well.

High Protein healthy snacks for on the go if
you're guilty of stopping for fast food when you're hungry or just not eating at all because
you don't have any healthy options with you and you're waiting till you get home in this video
I'm going to give you my eight go-to healthy high protein snacks for on the go so let's get right
into it but of course if you're new here make sure you subscribe to my channel and hit that
Bell so you get a notification when I release a new video just like this one every single
week my name is Michelle Roots kinesiologist personal trainer nutrition coach and fitness
and fat loss motivation specialist I have over 16 years experience in the industry helping people
increase lean muscle decrease body fat and become the strongest healthiest versions of themselves
in the most sustainable way and I created this channel to help you as well so just before I go
over my eight go-to High Protein healthy snacks for on the go I just want to tell you why you
should be having these snacks with you on the go so do you ever find yourself at work or just
out of the house without any snacks in your bag or in your car which forces as you want to either not
eat it all and starve yourself or to stop for fast food and then you get home and maybe while you're
preparing your lunch or your dinner you're eating all the hummus and crackers or you're snacking
on the kids chips or you're doing because you're so hungry when you get home this is what we want
to avoid and this is why you want to make a list of these eight High Protein healthy snacks for
on the go so that you can literally have them in your car have them in your purse have them in
your backpack whatever you take with you on the go or wherever you are if you're in the office
put them in your drawer of your desk whatever you need to do to make sure that you are prepared
for these times High Protein healthy snack for on the go number one Babybel cheese or even just a
straight up cheese string so many of you if you have kids or toddlers you probably buy these
for your kids why can't you eat them this is probably about six to 8 grams of protein in this
one cheese string for less than 100 calories a Babybel cheese let's see we're 60 calories for
one and five grams of protein throw two of these in your bag you're gonna get 120 calories only
and 10 grams of protein so these are some things I always buy at the grocery store and I always
have around whether I'm at home or I'm out for a quick high protein snack and note they can also
be combined with some of the other healthy high protein snacks that I'm going to talk about later
on the list so stay tuned number two protein bars there are so many different protein bars on
the market to choose from I'm going to give you my favorites kind of based on ingredients
protein level taste which is obviously major key my top two are one is the first form level
one protein bar my personal favorite chocolate chip cookie dough especially if you are someone
who gets sugar Cravings later in the day a lot of people say around one or two o'clock they kind
of want something chocolatey One of These Bars will do the trick they're about 270 calories only
about eight grams of sugar and 20 grams of protein and my husband ate all of ours and we're waiting
on our next shipment you want to grab some Level One bars or check them out I'll put a link in the
description below where you can check out those protein bars my number two option for protein bars
is I just grabbed these at Costco these are the cliff Builders protein bars they come in three
flavors chocolate peanut butter chocolate mint and double chocolate chocolate fudge whatever it
is same thing about the same calories as the first form 280 290 calories and each of them have about
20 grams of protein oftentimes I won't leave the house whether it's a weekday even on the weekends
if we're going out with the family my family is just used to me always having a protein bar either
the first form bar or one of these in my purse for just in case so that's number two again as I say
on a lot of other videos on this channel when I'm talking about protein you don't want to rely on
these protein bars say having three a day to hit your protein goal these are a good option to have
when you're on the go or you don't necessarily have time to make breakfast you're running late
you can grab a protein bar and eat it on the way I personally use them for times when I'm out of
the house and I'm not at home to make a healthy high protein snack from home number three High
Protein healthy snack for on the go pepperoni sticks I like these lean turkey pepperoni sticks
I get these at Costco they come in like a double pack one pepperoni stick is only 50 calories and
6 grams of protein so two of these bad boys 12 grams of protein and only 100 calories and like I
said you can combine so two of these in your purse two of these you're looking at
about 320 calories and we've got 10 grams of protein here 12 grams of protein
so we're like 22 grams of protein two pepperoni sticks one or two baby build cheese super easy
high protein snack to throw in your bag throw it all in a container or in a Ziploc bag whatever you
prefer that's a great way to keep Cravings down and keep you fueled during your day now Costco
at least in Canada does sell these pre-packaged protein stick and cheese set I personally feel
like if that works best for you it's already pre-packaged it's a grab-and-go snack perfect I
prefer to just make my own because it's pretty easy with one of these and this or a Babybel
cheese pretty easy and another cool thing you can do is I like to buy this havarti cheese
so one slice is 120 calories and again six grams of protein a little bit higher calorie than
these cheese options but if you took two of these slice this bad boy in half and wrap it around the
pepperoni stick again it'll give you a low calorie but high protein snack to keep you sealed on the
go number four a protein shake so this might be a given but a lot of people think well I can only
have protein shakes when I'm at home absolutely not so there's two options you can make a protein
shake in advance and take it with you for example if you follow me on Instagram you probably know
that I'm always posting that I have my protein shake every afternoon around three o'clock and
it's kind of my go-to snack to fuel me up quench my thirst as well as keep me full until dinner
time especially on the days if I'm going down to train clients at my studio in the afternoon
around two or three o'clock I make my Shake in my NutriBullet pop it in here and I take this
with me and then I'll drink it while I'm training clients say at three o'clock 3 30 4 o'clock I
just have it there as an option if I'm not hungry never mind that doesn't happen I'm always hungry
so I definitely drink it around 3 30 4 o'clock while I'm training my clients so I throw in some
berries or some fruit possibly half a banana some almond milk my favorite protein so I use the first
form protein level one or I have the formula one which is an all-natural so I'll throw a scoop of
that in a whole bunch of spinach because why not extra micronutrients and you can't taste it and it
Blends up perfectly a little bit of water I blend it up in my cup and I take that with me depending
on your preference if you don't have time to make a smoothie in the morning or say you're going
from work to the gym and you don't have a blender with you and you do want to have a protein shake
there's lots of pre-made packaged protein shakes on the market for example the premier protein
shakes at Costco are a great option I have a client who actually keeps a box of them in the
trunk of her car for just in case time another one that is a great option are the fair Life protein
shakes so I have the unfortunate luck that every time I go to Costco they're sold out I here in
the US you guys you guys have a lot better flavors here we only have chocolate but great macros
great snack they don't have to be refrigerated but again you can put them in your car grab one
throw it in your purse for just in case number five High Protein healthy option hard-boiled
eggs so these of course aren't hard-boiled um but it takes 10-15 minutes to hard boil you
can do six seven eight eggs at a time they can be kept in the fridge for up to a week so if you
are someone who goes to an office and there's a fridge there or even if you work from home and
you find you're on Zoom calls back to back to back to back I find a lot of clients now in the
past couple years that everyone's working remote one large egg is only about 70 calories and about
six grams of protein depending on the eggs you buy and if you're not a fan of hard-boiled eggs you
can also make something called egg bites which are super easy to make and take on the go I have a
recipe for them you just make them in a muffin pan with some veggies and some eggs I'll put a link
to a recipe on my website if you want to know how to make these easy egg bites idea number six for
High Protein healthy snack for on the go just make some kind of wrap throw it in your bag and take it
with you so for example I like to use um these are one of my go-to's these protein up wraps 10 grams
of protein in one wrap and only 120 calories so a few ideas you could do with this put that down
for a minute grab one of these wraps so you're you got to leave the house in 10 minutes I'm going
out I I know I'm gonna get hungry later instead of stopping at Starbucks or stopping at McDonald's
or wherever grab one of these I like to use this Lilydale turkey breast again from Costco um 100
calories in two slices and 19 grams of protein throw two slices all you need is two slices
that's 100 calories one of these 120 so you're 220 calories and almost 30 grams of protein right
there throw some mustard on it you could take half a slice of cheese and you've got a super high
protein but low calorie snack that you can put in your bag and have ready to go if you prefer
a smaller wrap these keto ones are good my kids love these I make them quesadillas out of these
wraps is something about the texture but I'm not keto we like carbs these are just great because
they've got 13 grams of fiber which is great 90 calories per wrap four grams of protein so not as
much protein as these ones a few less calories so you could do the same thing with a wrap like this
another great idea is using something like almond butter which is a favorite one tablespoon
of almond butter 100 calories so a little bit higher calorie but four grams of protein
so you could take one of these a wrap a wrap almond butter one tablespoon of almond butter half
a banana wrap it up I call it a banana burrito one of my favorite go-to pre-workout snacks even a
quick breakfast that's going to get you a high protein healthy snack but can also be wrapped
up in your bag and taken to work have in your purse for just in case High Protein healthy snack
number seven statues pumpkin seeds so one thing I recommend because pistachios and pumpkin seeds can
be a little bit higher in calorie that's okay but it's important to portion them out don't just give
yourself a big bag and just eat it mindlessly so if you are tracking your Macros you know what kind
of calories you're looking at for how much protein so these Kirkland brand shelled pistachios again
from Costco have half a cup is 280 calories for 11 grams of protein they are 23 grams of fat which
is fine it is coming from good fats and lots of micronutrients but just depending on what your
daily fat goal is just make sure it fits into your daily fat goal next we have organic pumpkin
seeds also found these at Costco so with these pumpkin seeds one third of a cup is 280 calories
but you're going to get 15 grams of protein so you could portion out some pumpkin seeds throw them in
a bowl with some plain Greek yogurt which I talk about a lot on this channel because it's such
a good source of protein only 100 calories 17 grams of protein and three quarters of a cup but
I guess that's like an extension of number seven not just the nuts and the pumpkin seeds is plain
Greek yogurt making a yogurt parfait this is what happens guys I make a list and then I'm like oh
yeah and then this idea and then this idea because I just want to give you all the information
so we'll just say this is still number seven but we're just extending it out from pistachios
pumpkin seeds and nuts into plain Greek yogurt you can make overnight oats if you have a jar like
this or some Tupperware to put in your fridge these are great for grab and go you make five
of them all at once on a Sunday night put them in the fridge you can grab one every morning you
can put in Greek yogurt chia seeds pumpkin seeds protein powder almond milk mix it all up depending
on what you like you can put berries in there mix it up and it's an easy grab and go grab this out
of the fridge put it in your bag and go whether it's your breakfast whether it's your mid-morning
snack whether it's your I'm starving right now and I need something you've got this ready to go and
one last idea I guess we're still in number seven Costco also has these pre-packaged cheese fruit
and nut packs again a better option and probably a lot cheaper than if you're buying it at Starbucks
or a different coffee shops or the grocery store but they're kind of based around the foods that
I've been showing you here already they're just in a neat little package and make it much easier to
have in your car in your purse at your work where whatever you feel you might get snacky
okay last but not least number eight I think homemade protein bars homemade muffins
homemade healthy high protein banana bread there's so many options that you can make on a
Sunday night to have as healthy snacks to take with you I have some great High Protein healthy
cookie recipes I'll link those in the description below if you want to go check them out on my
website another thing we do often is my favorite um protein pancake mix is flourish on the flourish
website they have a bunch of recipes to make healthy high protein muffins out of their protein
pancake mix so that's a great option as well that we have my kids love the muffins we make them
out of the birthday cake flavor if you want to try out some flourish protein pancake mix I'll
put a link in the description with the code to get 10 off your first order of these flourish
protein pancakes so there you go guys those are some of my High Protein healthy options for on the
go but if you have any that I didn't mention leave a comment below Let's help each other out let's
get a list going in the comments to help everybody out who's watching this video and you're looking
for High Protein healthy options for on the go to prevent anger to keep your body fueled and forget
the coming home eating everything in the kitchen while you're making your healthy meal so remember
failing to plan is planning to fail it does not take a lot of work to have these options in your
car in your bag in your desk at work versus having to go to the vending machine our versus having to
go to the coffee shop or the fast food if you are really serious about reaching your goals becoming
healthier building more lean muscle you need your protein and in my eyes there are no excuses there
are so many options and ways to prepare yourself whether you're traveling through an airport
whether you're going on a long car ride whether you're going shopping whether you're doing this
just like taking your water bottle with you take a high protein snack if you don't need it you don't
need it but it doesn't hurt to have it with you if you want to know more about how much protein you
should be eating each day or what your macro split should look like what your calories should look

I like the power core 42 grams of protein
Protein bars are proven to be unhealthy unless you make it at home
great ideas but way to many foods that are processed……….any ideas on snacks that are not processed???
We've used Premier protein as a coffee creamer for years. Tastes great chocolate, caramel or cafe latte flavours. Half a bottle has 15g of protein and almost no sugar.
Where do you find Protein up wraps
How do these snacks work for stage 3 kidney disease ?
I love it that you are Canadian and give Canadian food sources! 🇨🇦
Do you have a printable list of grab and go protein snacks?
So much processed food. Way more healthier ways to get your protein.
High protein foods will satiate you and you never get really hungry.
I've 'accidentally' fasted for 24 hours a few times…
Having a high protein dinner..the next day I was simply not hungry.
It would be late afternoon when I realized I didn't eat during the day…just not hungry.
Check out Quest Protein Bars. They run 170 -200 calories with 21 grams of protein. Lower calories than the ones you mentioned. Plenty of good tasting flavors to choose from.
I make a protein shake using my leftover coffee in the morning. I add vanilla protein powder (24 g protein), 2 tbps peanut butter powder (7 g) & ice for a refreshing shake and I also have a hard boiled egg (6 g) after my morning run & workout. An easy 37 g protein for only 250 calories! This also makes a great snack that's quite filling.
What about carbs
Cheese is to much fat
"ONE" protein bars are really good. They only have one gram of sugar and have 20 grams of protine. They also are only 220 calories.
Great tips thank you!
One thing I do is make the Jaimie Eason turkey meatloaf muffins (with the leanest turkey available). These have 40g protein and 262 calories for 2 muffins. You can add more flavor by adding different things. Personally I like adding minced jalapeños. I have done kalamata olives but have to be careful of the calories. I eat them cold while I am driving g or walking or at my desk. Love these. I might try making some with lean ground beef.😊
Not to be rude but the cheese items are highly processed. Not great for heath
Love you straight forward educational approach, getting right to it rather than too much conversation ❤
Any suggestions for those of us with really high cholesterol?
Very encouraged this morning by all your videos I’ve been watching. I feel like I’ve been sort of stuck trying to figure it all out because yes as a newbie it’s overwhelming. Thanks for sharing… now off to Costco.
