Awesome Portable Protein Source

This past week my nutritionist gave me an awesome tip on how to get protein in. I have been having trouble meeting the minimum requirement AND getting in all my water. She suggested that I try dried edamame (soy beans). She said salted was fine or even one serving a day can be with dried fruit. Just 1/4 of a cup gives you 14 grams of protein & only 2 grams of net carbs. It is the easiest protein to bring out & about too. 1/4 cup in a ziploc bag fits in even a tiny purse. It is also great if you are missing foods that are salty and crunchy. It really helped me to meet my nutritional goals for the week. Just thought that I would pass it along! :)

they're way better than peanuts, loaded with protien. Just waiting that they be ok for post op diet which it seems this week I just now get a bag. They also sell fresh edamame un roasted bagged at area grocers, unsure that I can roast them I can how ever saute them, steam or add to recipe but haven't ventured so far, just love the roasted snack.
