Quick and easy high protein healthy snacks/meals?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

I recently found a great snack/small meal and I would love to share.

One medium banana

1/2 cup high Protein plain Greek yogurt

1-2 tablespoon of PB2 powered Peanut Butter

Mix the PB2 in the yogurt- and your done! You can use the yogurt mixture as a dip for your banana which you can cut up and eat with a fork/spoon slowly. It's low calorie- very high Protein. (About 20g depending on how much yogurt and pb2 you use).

Anyone else have great quick and easy snacks/small meals they make?!

I'm still at the stage where I'm trying to lose weight at a high rate.

Avoiding stuff like bananas and Peanut Butter at the moment.

Last night's dinner is how I've been rolling....mostly all Protein and fat. Grilled tuna & lobster with teriyaki, butter and wasabi.

There are around 30 grams of carbs in the banana alone, depending on the size. That's too much for a snack or even a meal for me.

I container of dannon light & fit greek yogurt has 9 grams of carbs and 12 grams of Protein.

Bariatric Choice sells a Jello type desert. It has low calories & a good amount of Protein. One box gives me 2 servings. I keep it on hand for when I want something sweet. I also put 2 packs of Splenda in the mix because I like sweet stuff.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
