Sugar-free protein snacks: what to eat to last until dinner
The afternoon snack is often the weak spot of a balanced diet: "healthy" bars full of sugar, cookies, pastries… A sugar-free protein snack is a much better option, especially if you work out.
Why focus on protein at snack time?
A high-protein snack helps you increase your daily intake, which matters when you train, since protein supports the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.* And by skipping the sugar, you skip the snack that only brings "empty" calories.
10 high-protein snack ideas
- Plain Greek yogurt with a few berries.
- Cottage cheese with cinnamon.
- Two hard-boiled eggs.
- A handful of almonds or walnuts (unsalted).
- Turkey roll-ups with cream cheese.
- Veggie sticks with hummus.
- A cheese stick.
- Edamame.
- Roasted chickpeas.
- 4 KYROX gummies: 10g of Whey Isolate, 0g sugar, nothing to prepare.
What about after your workout?
After training, it's best to get some protein within the following hours, with a meal or a snack. If you have nothing on hand, a portable snack keeps you from heading home starving… and grabbing the first bag of cookies.
Read the labels
"No added sugar" doesn't mean "no sugar". Check the "Total Sugars" line on the Nutrition Facts panel, and the amount of protein per serving you actually eat.
