High Protein Snacks for Active People
Do You Lead a Busy, Active Lifestyle?
Whether you're sweating it out in the gym, training for a competition, or simply aiming to live a healthier life, high-protein snacks can be a game-changer.
Protein is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in keeping your body strong and energised. While daily requirements vary, the average 140-pound person needs around 50g of protein each day—and even more if you’re regularly active.
For those with a busy lifestyle, staying on top of your protein intake can help to:
- Build and repair muscle
- Keeps you feeling fuller for longer
- Provide steady energy throughout the day
Looking for snacks that support performance and recovery? Here are some of our top high-protein snack ideas to keep you fuelled and focused.
Pre-Workout Power Snacks
Need an energy boost before your workout or training session? These satisfying snacks are packed with protein to help power your performance:
Greek Yoghurt and Berries
Opt for high-protein Greek yoghurt and top it with fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. Not only do they add natural sweetness, but they also bring an antioxidant boost. Sprinkle on some granola or a handful of nuts for extra crunch and healthy fats.
Hard-Boiled Eggs
Eggs are a protein-rich, portable snack that’s super easy to prep ahead. Pair with a banana, apple, or a few nuts for a balanced snack that’s both filling and energising.
Protein Shake
For a quick and convenient pre- or post-workout snack, a protein shake is a go-to favourite. Blend your favourite protein powder with milk or a milk alternative, then add extras like banana, berries, or a spoonful of nut butter for a nutrient-packed boost of flavour.
And of course, don’t forget to shake it up in your Suprfuel Protein Shaker for a smooth, delicious drink on the go!
