One thing I constantly hear as a trainer is that people struggle to find health snacks and meals that are convenient and easy to transport.
So, here are some of my top choices for healthy snacks, including how to make them.
Protein Cup Cakes
These are brilliant as they’re easy to transport and don’t make a mess when you’re eating them, and you can eat them with your hands so there’s no messing about.
What you’ll need:
- A cup cake baking tray
- 6 eggs
- A selection of chopped meats and veggies (tomatoes, peppers, etc)
- A handful of grated cheese
- Take your chopped meat & veg and place small amounts into each of the cup cake spaces.
- Whisk your eggs up and pour over the meat and veg.
- Oven bake until cooked through and allow to cool.
These are great snacks that are high in protein and low in carbs, and you can make loads of different varieties.
Once cooled they easily go in a plastic tub for transport.
High Protein Shake
What you’ll need:
- 1 handful of frozen berries
- 2-4 raw eggs (depending on your protein needs)
- 1/2 pt of coconut or almond milk
Alternatives to Add:
Nut butter
Coconut oil
- Blend it all together and drink or place in a protein shaker for easy transport.
Ensure you either drink shortly after making it or if you’re having it as a snack later in the day then make sure you keep it refrigerated.
Protein Pancake
This is another great, healthy snack you can make.
What you’ll need:
- 3 eggs
- 1 banana
- 1/4 cup of coconut flour
- Coconut oil
- Whisk your eggs.
- Add the coconut flour until it has a fluffy consistency.
- Then add the banana in chucks and mash it into the mixture, but do not blend it.
- Get your frying pan hot and add some coconut oil so they don’t stick.
- Spoon the mix into the pan and cook as you would a normal pancake.
Once cooled these are great for healthy snacks on the go.
All of these are high in protein and low in carbs, they’re not processed foods and they’re a great alternative to having a regular protein snack bar or something else that wouldn’t be desirable for you body.
