Inexpensive Savory Snack Ideas



Recommended Posts

I'm not much for sweet Protein Bars, and the sour cream and onion soy crisps and Ostrim beef sticks which I LOVE are pretty pricey through my doc's store. Does anyone have any cheap savory Protein snack ideas or stores where things aren't as expensive?

Greek yogurt is one of my favorites. Any flavor you like, it will have 11-14 grams of Protein per 6 oz cup, depending on the brand. It can be a little more tart than regular 5 gram yogurt, but I add a packet of artificial sweetener to it and it goes down fine. A one inch cube of cheddar cheese is pretty good too. I usually have two. Mozzarella cheese sticks are good, and if you microwave them with a little pizza sauce, you can almost believe you are eating pizza. I would urge you to keep trying various brands of protein bars until you find one you like. Good luck...

I don't love sweet that much either. I don't know what stage you are in but my favorite healthy snack is hummus with veggies or homemade roasted chick peas. Both are very inexpensive and very healthy especially if you make them yourself.

I am on a low carb diet waiting to be sleeved in Nov. my favorite savory Snacks are pepperoni chips, place on paper towels, cover with a paper towel and microwave on high for 50-60 seconds let rest and they are crunchy and wonderful. I also get asiago cheese or Parmesan cheese grate it and put teaspoons on parchment paper in the microwave for 1min 49/50sec. or until slightly brown let cool and they taste just like crunchy cheese crackers, my other fave is turkey bacon microwaved until crunchy. All of these have high Protein and ZERO carbs...enjoy

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
