High protein snacks?

[iRun-Haley24]

Have hypoglycemia.. I hate having to eat every five minutes. Are there any high protein/carb snacks that will keep me full (and my blood sugar levels higher) longer?

This would help so much!

I've included the link to a high protein, low sugar cookie recipe. It sounds awful but it tastes great and is super quick and easy to make (i.e. my 13 year old daughter made them). I actually call these breakfast cookies because I can grab one and go out the door in the morning and am definitely full for some time. Good luck!

I do my Quinoa in the rice cooker - goes really fast & then I don't have to watch it - turns out great & my rice cooker has the basket on top that you can cook meat/veggies or whatever so I cook veggies to put in the it.  Works great!

I LOVE parmesan crisps! Preheat oven to 400 degrees,  grate parmesan ( about 3/4 oz per crisp), make neat rounded piles , a half inch apart, on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Pat piles down slighty, but don't compact. I actuallly use a biscuit cutter and place all the cheese in the circle then lift. I also highly recommend baking these using a silicone baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes or till lightly golden brown (in my oven, it takes closer to 10 minutes).  Very satisfying.. crispy, yummy and a great vehicle for spinach artichoke dip.

To make my leaner healthier spinach dip, I start with a container of Safeway's Signature Cafe Artichoke Dip( or Artichoke Jalapeno Dip) and add a whole package of cooked frozen spinach, squeezed dry. I cut the spinach with scissors into the bowl, then mix all together really well. Take a few spoonfuls  of this dip (if it's just for you) , then pop in in the microwave for 45 seconds  to a mintue ( or until nice and hot and melty). You'll have more for later in the fridge.

I served my parmesan crisps with this spinach dip to friends over the holidays and they LOVED it!

I love apples with crunchy peanut butter.

I couldn't agree more. There are a lot of healthy options here.

Your method has worked for me in the past.

I buy those ziplock snack size bags and can divide up items and pack several at a time.  I can just grab and go with the snack size fruit/veg, granola, humuus and chips,nuts,  cheese bites etc.  I can save the bags and reuse. I have a few snacks stashed in the car, desk, purse so that I can snack purposefully on "good" snacks instead of "high calorie bad" ones.

I don't know if anyone mentioned but I really like the Tuna Creations Pouches. 80-110 calories, 16gm protein. You can keep in desk drawer and eat with a fork. I know tuna not healthy to eat everyday but throwing it out there.

I like your way of doing this. I have similar issues. Look forward to following some of your suggestions.

I just discovered peanut butter powder as well.  It is a fabulous addition to my smoothies.
