Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hemp anything, quinoa, tempeh and tofu. Donna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry " Kaitlin " <k8edgerton Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:20:31 High Protein Packed Food Ideas!! Any ideas on some on the go protein packed snacks? I have been drinking whey (sp?) and it tastes like chalk. I also eat nub butters with fruit a lot but I am looking for some more variety. I work out every day and I need stuff to keep my energy up!

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I use protein drinks and Champion is pretty good. My favorite Champion proteins are chocolate, vanilla and banana. Another good whey protein powder is Wellments ProBlend 55.Their Alpine vanilla is lovely. Play around with the amount of water used to blend your protein powder. I suspect that is where the chalky problem is coming from. I'd suggest ordering some samples (www.vitalady.com has samples reasonably priced and I know there are other places that sell samples) and see what you like. I've done protein shakes since 2002 and haven't encountered a chalky one yet, but couldn't stand the Nectars, which have the consistency of Kool Aid. If you have a blender and can afford the calories, freeze some cleaned strawberries, berries or banana chunks, toss a handful into the blender, throw in your scoop of protein (vanilla is wonderful for this), a little water, some extra ice and whir away. Also, if you can afford the calories, mixing vanilla protein with orange juice and ice instead of water is really yummy. Food wise, refried beans are full of protein, as well as hummus. We always have both of those in the fridge for quick snacks. If you eat dairy, chunks of cheese are good. I think Donna just eats a bit of tofu plain, which isn't something I can't do yet, but I did discover, with her help, that it makes a nice stir fry. Maybe you could come up with a tofu based pudding? Bet someone on the list already has! Jeanne in GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I make eggless salad out of cubed firm tofu and chickenless salad out of chopped chickpeas. High in protein and very portable with high fiber bread or crackers. Add minced celery, carrot, cucumber, whatever veggies you want and nayonaise. Hope that helps! , Jeanne B <treazured wrote: > > I use protein drinks and Champion is pretty good. My favorite Champion proteins are chocolate, vanilla and banana.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 We make little snacks that we refer to as power balls. 1 c. honey 1 c. peanut butter 1 c. protein powder (we use Shaklee vanilla or chocolate) 1 c. meal replacement powder (also use a product by Shaklee) Mix all together and make them into balls. We keep ours in the frig. and snag one when we need one. My daughter and her friends love them too. The recipe is so basic that you can make variations. I use mini choc. chips with chocolate protein power and vanilla meal replacement powder and they taste like reese's peanut butter cups, but are better for you. You can also use oatmeal, dried fruit, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
