What healthy protein snacks do you have?

[VDB 800]

My plan is three Protein meals in a day plus two Snacks, still on mushy phase for 7 more weeks. My typical meal is tender poultry or fish, a bit of dark green or orange veges, and a bit of low sugar fruit like applesauce (homemade). I am really tired of cheese sticks for snacks. Any suggestions for quick protein snacks?

Maybe some soft Jerky if you chew it up really well? Jerky is pretty much a staple snack for me.

These are good, but remove the yolk. All the Protein is in the white. You can also replace the yolk with hummus.

Eat the yolk, all the nutrition is in the yolk!

In the mushies phase, you are still pretty limited. Cottage cheese, string cheese, and greek yogurts were my go-tos. Once you are onto solids, you'll have many more options. I don't like Jerky, but I do like "beef" sticks. I put beef in quotations there, because I rarely get ones made with actual beef. I get turkey and other more exotic meats (buffalo, karibu, alligator) when I can find them at places like Bass Pro Shop. I also snack on lightly salted peanuts (not a fan of nuts in general, but I like peanuts). I still rely pretty heavily on greek yogurt, 9 months out. I also still do string cheese sometimes.

I can't take credit for it. I read it somewhere here on the forum about making deviled eggs. The recipe called for some of the yolk to be mixed in. There are some good qualities to the yolk. However if you need to watch Cholesterol its best to leave it out.

Dietary cholesterol is meaningless. Many studies have proven that. Cholesterol in your body comes from fat, not the cholesterol in foods. So I guess you could argue not to eat the yoke because it's high in fat, but not because it's high in dietary cholesterol. The FDA is even considering lifting the requirement to display cholesterol counts on nutrition labels, because it has no actual impact on people's cholesterol levels.

That sounds yummy...may have to try that! I sometimes mix dry ranch dressing mix into cottage cheese - that's really good too
