10 Protein Packed Snacks That You Can Try At Home

Smoothies: Blend plain yoghurt, unsweetened frozen fruit, and peanut butter for a protein-rich drink without added sugar. Use any frozen fruit available and save leftover fruit for future smoothies.

Paneer and watermelon: Paneer is rich in protein. Its creamy soft texture pairs well with crunch from the watermelon slices, adding a perfect balance of sweetness.

Spicy deviled eggs: Simple condiments like onions, chilies, and garlic are rich in antioxidants and low in calories. For a flavourful twist, prepare spicy deviled eggs with hung curd instead of mayo, enhancing protein content.

Homemade protein bar: Combine your pre-selected protein powder with your required nut butter and blend in the additional condiments such as chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or dried fruits. Pour this into a baking pan, freeze, and cut it into simple shapes.

Veggies and Hummus: Adding vegetables to your snack is a smart choice, increases fibre intake, and makes a satisfying snack. Pairing them with hummus, made from blended chickpeas, adds protein and healthy fats too.

Mixed-sprout Chaat: This dish tickles the fancy with delicacies of desi chutneys, the crispness of pomegranate, lemon, boiled mixed sprouts, and greens of fresh coriander. Served with lemon juice & chaat masala, they are fulfilling and flavourful.

Peanut butter toast and banana: Peanut butter is rich in protein, fibre, and healthy fats. Spread peanut butter on toasted whole grain bread and top it with banana slices for added fibre, potassium, Vitamin C, and Vitamin B6.

Chia Pudding: Chia seeds are a good source of calcium, zinc, and copper. Soak chia seeds in any milk of your choice and refrigerate overnight, best served with toppings like nuts, fruits, and cinnamon.

Nut-mix: Nuts are one of the healthiest snacks that one can take, whether it is in the form of a handful or a trail mix form.

Quinoa Salad: Quinoa salad can be prepared by tossing any vegetables of your choice and protein sources like chicken, tofu, or paneer along with cooked quinoa. Top with toasted nuts and dress it minimally.
