Keep your protein intake high with summer with these high protein snacks. I make these over and over again when I need the protein.

These summer snacks can be stored in the fridge and eaten for up to 7 days. My strawberry yogurt bites at number 13 have gone viral over and over again.

So, definitely give them a try!

1. Peanut Butter Chocolate Clusters

Decadent peanut butter clusters wrapped in dark chocolate and naturally sweetened with banana. Gluten-free with no added sugar – just wholesome ingredients.

Love the contrast of crispy exteriors with smooth, creamy centers? These deliver exactly that texture combination.

Made with clean ingredients and naturally sweetened through bananas plus a touch of coconut, they’re perfect for hot weather when you want something indulgent yet refreshing.

Fair warning: they vanish fast once stored in the fridge, so you might want to make a double batch!

This healthy snack for kids is slightly savory and sweet, and best of all – healthy!

It requires minimal prep time and is ready in under three hours (most of which is freezing time). You can also vary the recipe by using cranberries or chopped dates.

5. Tuna Cucumber Boats

Tuna is packed with protein and has zero carbs, so it makes for the perfect low carb, high protein snack. As a bonus, it is chock full of omega3s, which are good for your heart and brain too.

However, you usually put tuna salad on the bread. So, that adds to the carbs.

This recipe ditches the bread. Instead, you put your tuna salad in pretty boats made of scooped out cucumber.

This makes your tuna salad extra refreshing. In fact, I prefer these to tuna salad sandwiches.

The tuna salad is super creamy and really good for you, too. That’s because you use both mayonnaise and Greek yogurt, which is rich in gut-friendly probiotics.

These cucumber boats make a nice snack. But you can even use them as a nice light lunch, too. Check out more low-carb salad ideas here!

It’s sweet, fruity, and juicy. And the chia seeds add extra texture, as well as nutrition.

They are rich in brain-boosting omega-3s. They are also good for your bones.

That’s because they contain a ton of calcium, phosphorus, manganese, and magnesium.

Besides using chia seeds in puddings, you can also add them to your porridge and smoothies. If you’d like to get some, you can get some here.

These bites are just plain scrumptious. The tender, juicy chicken combined with the creamy dressing and the fresh diced celery is a party in your mouth.

But, unlike chicken salad sandwiches, they won’t leave you in a carb coma. That’s because you are using cucumber slices, not bread, as your “sandwich.” That’s a little food hack that will make your diet a lot healthier!

The cucumber adds a nice crunch and cleanses your palate too. And Frank’s red hot sauce adds a nice kick that you don’t expect from chicken salad.

Need a frozen treat to cool down? I’ve got you covered.

These Frozen Yogurt Fruit Pops are creamy, delicious, and good for you too. That’s because you’re using only healthy ingredients.

These include grass-fed vanilla yogurt and frozen/fresh blueberries and strawberries. Grass-fed yogurt is better than standard yogurt because it has more omega-3s.

Don’t have access to grass-fed yogurt? Not a problem- standard yogurt will work just fine.

Making these fruit pops is so easy. Just alternate layering the yogurt with the berries until your popsicle molds are full. Then add your popsicle holder.

I like these popsicle molds because they don’t contain harmful BPA plastics. And they come with a special brush that makes cleaning easy.

26. Zucchini Bites

Wondering how to get more veggies into you or your kids’ diet? Try these zucchini bites.

They are nice and cheesy and have zucchini hidden, ahem, mixed into them. And aside for the cheese and zucchini, you just need 3 other ingredients: oat flour, Italian seasoning, and eggs.

Besides being a good source of protein, eggs are also an excellent source of selenium. Selenium is a mineral that is good for the brain and even fertility.

These bites are excellent for meal prep. In under 30 minutes, you’ll have 20 bites to pack for you and your kids’ snacks.

And to make sure they stay nice and fresh, put them in glass food containers like these. They seal the food better than the plastic ones, so it stays fresh longer.

Zucchinis are also cheaper, so this is a great way to eat healthier on a lower budget.
