I can totally appreciate the need for an extra boost during the day. Did you know that when we “crash” this can be a result of hypoglycemia? That is low blood sugar levels. Eating protein can assist in staving off said “crashes” as protein aids in stabilizing our blood sugar. So, I thought I’d share my protein-included power snacks with you so you can stay fuelled for success on the go.
This mama loves these snacks:
1. Precut Veggies and Hummus
Ditch the synthetic dressings and opt for hummus which provides us with protein!
Tip: Wash and chop veggies once or twice a week and pre-pack in separate containers so they are ready to grab and go!
I usually do:
- Cucumbers
- Bell Peppers (orange and yellow)
- Celery
- Carrot
- Snow peas
2. Apple and Almond Butter
Grabbing an apple on your way out of the house is super easy and you can slab some nut butter on there for a good vegan source of protein!

3. Hard Boiled Eggs
Tip: Try not to eat too many, as we stay mindful of the cholesterol intake, although hard boiled is the healthiest way to eat an egg as the yolk is protected from the heat and stays intact during the cooking keeping from being overly oxidized (yuck, no thanks!)
4. Last Night’s Dinner
OK, I’ve been doing this one for breakfast, you guys. Here are 2 of my favorites:
- White navy beans and meat sauce
- Thin beef fettine with broccoli
Don’t forget, a simple bit of quick prep can go a long way!
Cheers to you, being fuelled for success!
