Discover 15 delicious high-protein AND easy-to-go snacks:
Do you know nut purees? There are several varieties in organic stores:almond puree, cashew nuts or walnuts. Served in a “pirogue” — a stalk of celery, for example — they are a real delight.
Spread the puree on a stalk of celery. Sprinkle with a few almonds or raisins. If you don't like celery, substitute an apple. Cut into quarters and emptied of its pips, the apple turns into small "boats" in which you can spread your almond puree.
Protein content:8.3g (for 2 tablespoons of almond puree and 200 g of celeriac/apple)
To buy some now, we recommend this organic almond puree.
Mixes of dried fruits and nuts are perfect for recharging your batteries. They have a high protein content and can easily be carried in your bag, for snacking at any time.
