Whether you’re on-the-go or craving more after dinner, there is no denying the convenience of a store-bought snack. Here are my 10 best high protein portable store-bought snacks for when you want to eat healthier, snack smart, and increase your overall protein intake.

As someone who is a self-proclaimed “snacker”, having these options at the ready helps me make better choices when that craving hits. All of these options have at least 5 grams of protein to keep you full between meals.
Of course, you can’t beat a meal prepped, homemade snack. However, these are great options for when you just don’t have the time or energy to do that! Perfect to throw into your lunch box for work or when you’re on-the-go with your kids.
10 Healthy Convenience Snacks with Protein
Always read nutrition labels for convenience snacks and compare the protein, fiber, sugar, sodium, and calories! I am sure there are many more options available at your local grocery store or online: you just have to know what to look for.
Aloha Protein Bars

I mean, you just can’t go wrong with Aloha Protein Bars. They’re packed with protein AND fiber and one of the best protein bars on the market. There are a variety of flavors like Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Banana Bread Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, and Peanut Butter Cup.
RX Bars

RX Bars have minimal ingredients and are very transparent with what is in their protein bars. The coconut chocolate flavor has just four ingredients: egg whites, almonds, cashews, and dates. They taste delicious, too!
The Only Bean Crunchy Edamame Beans
Edamame is a plant-based protein source with 18 grams of protein per one cup! So, I absolutely loves these little snack packs of roasted, crunchy edamame beans. There are a variety of flavors, too! Just a small portion packs a nutritional punch, as they are lower in calories and high in protein and fiber.

Honorable mention: KIND Dry and Roasted Edamame.
Quest Protein Chips
If you are craving a salty chip, Quest Protein Chips are a healthier alternative. They’re high in protein due to the addition of whey protein isolate but actually taste like a potato chip. They are still high in sodium, though!

Nuts and Seeds

For a dose of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, nuts are the way to go! Peanuts and pistachios have the highest protein content, with 7 grams per 1/4 in peanuts and 6 grams per 1/4 cup for pistachios. Hemp hearts are a healthy, nutty snack with 10 grams of protein per 3 tablespoons. Below is the nutritional information for lightly salted peanuts.
Also try something like these already assembled packs of nuts. Planter’s Heart Healthy Mix features 7 small packs of nuts with 190 calories, 6 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber in each pack.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is always a great choice for a healthy, portable snack. There are even these yogurt beverages that are relatively lower in calories yet high in protein and calcium. These are a healthier option when compared to other store-bought protein drinks. There are a lot of different flavors and variations, some with up to 30 grams of protein! Oikos Pro also offers these yogurt drinks.
Mozzarella String Cheese

I don’t know about you, but my kids live off of string cheese right now. It’s actually a healthy snack option for adults, too – with 7 grams of protein and just 80 calories! You could pair it with some fruit or whole grain crackers for added fiber.
Chomps Beef Sticks

Chomps beef sticks are made with 100% grass-fed beef. As long as you are watching your sodium intake the rest of the day, these are a convenient and filling snack with 10 grams of protein!
Nature Valley Protein Smoothie Bars

Nature Valley Protein Bars are available at most grocery stores. I am very impressed with these as a portable snack – 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber! They are relatively low in sodium with just 150 mg as well. This is a great option to throw into your work bag.
Sabra Smart Snackers
These Sabra Smart Snackers featuring hummus and either crackers or pretzels have 10 grams of protein per serving! Now, these are VERY high in sodium so they are last on my list. However, if you’re a hummus lover – these have a great balance of protein and fiber.
If you paired them with vegetables instead of the pretzels, this would reduce the sodium content. Or, buy the single serve hummus packs and pair with a whole wheat, low sodium cracker.
