I need protein snack ideas to take to work. I am lactose intolerant and can't do milk. I am also sick of nuts.

Answer 1

Eggs are high in protien, you could make some hard boiled ones, de-shell them and snack on those.
Avacado
Granola Bars
Trail Mix
Pretzels
Popcorn

Answer 2

Hi there, first off let me tell you that too much protein can actually start to break down your muscle mass and cause problems. So if you're a couch potatoe like me, do not drink protein shakes or substitute bars for protein, they contain high amounts of protein that may unbalance your diet. You can still drink them if you'd like as long as you do in moderation or you excersise, but they taste like medicine to me. There are a few natural options for vegetarians to gain protein from their food, (take a look at horses, they don't eat meat but they are buff!). You can try making Guacamole for yourself, it is simple, fast to make, and VERY healthy, has about 2 to 3 servings of fruit and vegetables and good amount of protein. It also contains monosaturated fat (the good kind) it has no saturated fat, contains vitamin E for your skin, anti-oxidants and the contents in avocado are found to boost testotarone for those guys who want to get buff. Here is the recipe:
(For one to two persons)

1 and a half avocados, make sure they are ripe for better taste
1/4 of a lime
Salt, to your liking (salt is a key ingredient for taste)
1/2 diced tomato
1/3 diced onion
1 tablespoon of shredded cilantro (cilandro)
2 diced jalapeno peppers, (Serrano is the traditional chili used in Mexico, but it's harder to find milder ones than Jalapeno)
NOW MIX INTO A CHUNKY GUACAMOLE FOR PROTEIN AND OTHER NUTRIENTS!
(Potato soup is also a good protein meal but guac is easier and my favorite :P )

Answer 3

Buy some primal strips. They are individually packaged, jerkee-like snacks, made from soy, seitan, or mushroom. They come in like six flavors and cost about $1/each if you buy them in bulk. I cannot stress to you enough how delicious they are, and each one has 10-12 grams of protein. You can get them online from a host of vegetarian/vegan grocers, or directly from the manufacturer.

Answer 4

There are seeds. And there are all kinds of snacks made with legumes. Combine them with a bit of carb, such as a small packet of whole-grain crackers.

Just don't keep taking the same thing every day. That's how you get tired of something.

Answer 5

You could buy canisters of protein powder, flavored Vanilla or Chocolate, that you can mix with water and drink, similar to how you would prepare hot chocolate.

The protein in those powder mixes comes from egg whites and/or whey, therefore no lactose or milk is involved when you mix them with water.

Answer 6

Here's a few protein snacks.

Try dipping pepperoni or beefsticks in cream cheese.
A few cheese slices with summer sausage is good.
Pork rinds have basically no carbs.
AmazeRX.com makes a great chocolate protein shake (mixed with water).
Slim Jims or beef jerky.
Deli sliced meat; I like to roll cream cheese up in mine.
Low carb yogurt.
Atkins chewy nut caramel bar (its really good, but it gives me gas).

Answer 7

some protein shakes are lactose free or at least 90+% free. might want to try those out. maybe a piece of chicken. my friend cooks up tons of chicken breasts on the weekend to eat the rest of the week. he snacks on them by itself, in a small bagette, in a salad, etc.

Answer 8

Fake meat sandwich.
Wasabi peas

Toasted Sesame Nori

Dairy free, Gluten free, Low carbohydrate, Low fat, Low GI, Low sugar, Wheat Free this comes from the food coach. It keeps for up to two weeks in a sealed box and I like to crush it and sprinkle on meals as a garnish.

6 servings 10 min 5 min prep
Change to: servings US Metric
4 sheets nori
1/3 tablespoon sesame oil
2/3 tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch sea salt
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
Lay the nori sheets flat on a baking tray.
Combine the oils and using a pastry brush, brush the oil over the top surface of each sheet.
Sprinkle the sea salt and sesame over the oiled surface and roast in the oven for 5 minutes.
Leave to cool before cutting into pieces approx

Info: Nori Sheets:
Nori is a sea vegetable, which is cultivated in screened salt water Japanese inlets whose waters and tides are not too cold or harsh to grow this flavorful delicate seaweed. This Nori is usually harvested from the first of several seasonal crops, and therefore the iron content is high. Once harvested, it is chopped, rolled and dried in the sun and then toasted into crisp sheets. Sushi Chef Nori is especially delicate and flavorful. Its thickness makes it less likely to break when rolled. The flavor, aroma and crispness of Nori is enhanced by quickly passing the shiny side of the sheet over a flame just before use.

Nori sheets are wrapped around sushi rice and fillings to form rolled sushi. When cut into strips, Nori is used to secure finger rolls or to add flavor and color to scattered sushi. Crumbled Nori is also an attractive garnish for salads or rice. (Sku: #190966)
