Media High Protein Ideas

If you are looking for high protein snacks, it is likely that you are trying to build muscles. O maybe just like the high protein meals. Or do you strengthen your immune system. Any of these possibilities is the reason, you still must ensure that their high protein snacks are healthy snacks. To help in this department, here are some tips: 1. Tuna. It can be a casserole of tuna or a tuna sandwich, as long as you eat tuna, your daily protein requirement will not be a problem. Not to mention that it is a of the healthiest sources of protein, since it is not high in saturated fat. N related to cholesterol concerns with this option. 2. Turkey and chili beans. Turkey is another healthy source of protein, and when combined with beans, makes for a healthy meal recipe. To reduce the sodium content the plate, do not use canned beans. 3. Beef jerky. One of the most favored sources of protein, dried meat actually has less than 100 calories 10-pound serving. If you're buying your beef jerky from the store, read labels and choose a brand with less sodium. 4. Egg omelet. Eggs are a great source of protein. Cook with onions and tomatoes and have a nutritious snack with a dose of much-needed protein. The use of vegetable oil to make your tortilla to reduce fat content. 5. Protein bars. The name says it all. There are plenty of brands that are sold commercially, your best bet will be the one with the lower fat content. 6. Peanuts. All types of nuts are rich in protein and peanuts are in the top of the list. To make a healthy snack, eat without salt. 7. peanut butter banana / jam. It's the peanut butter provides protein actually in this recipe healthy. Jelly or banana is to give more flavor and nutrients. 8. Oatmeal. Great source of protein and good for the heart. Just add your favorite fruit for more vitamins and flavor. 9. Protein shakes. We offer these in stores groceries. Again, look at the label and choose the brand with the lowest fat content. 10. Baked Beans. A regular portion can give the requirements recommended daily. If you are looking for high protein snacks, not focus only on the protein content. Consider also if your choice is a healthy food and supplements can provide vitamins and minerals.

PERFECT PROTEIN SNACK

by No Nonsense from on 2010-08-15
These snacks are great! The natural flavor is a lot like the Slim Jims we ate as kids. Only these are healthier! Great to carry in purse to keep sugar from getting low while on the run. Also, my job has me on my feet with no breaks! It's easy to grab one and enjoy it to keep going. Low in fat and calories but high in protein. Forget that mid day sugary candy bar. Grab on of these! A no-guilt snack!


Yummy Yummy!!

by Kristoffe J. Karlson from Naperville, IL USA on 2010-08-03
These are quite tasty and by far the leanest, highest protein you will find. Great price as well! They are twice as big as a Slim Jim too, just WAYYYY healthier :)


Love These

by Susan from on 2010-08-03
These taste great, and are very low in fat compared to other beef sticks. They are very low in calories, and most of the calories come from protein. I have used these while hiking, and usually keep a few in my car for a healthy snack so I am not tempted to go get fast food.


Pure goodness

by TJ from on 2010-07-25
These things are like crack. Seriously. I can't get enough. Forget about Slim Jims or regular beef jerky. These are the real deal. Great as a pre or post workout snack. I just wish they were cheaper so I could buy a year's supply right now!

tasty but high fat content

by V. Wong from on 2010-07-13
Compared to other protein bars, this one tastes the best. It is not chalky. It is easy to eat. Not too sweet like some "energy" bars. However, almost half of the calories is from fat and the protein content is lesser than other protein bars. Maybe as a snack. Definitely not a protein supplement.


Yummy

by Alicia from on 2007-03-09
I love this protein snack bar. Tastes more like a candy bar than a protein bar and is easy to eat, easy to digest and a very quick & satisfying snack. I use it as a meal replacement or a fast way to stop my chocolate cravings. Love it.

My Puppys Favorite

by L. Delvin from on 2010-07-21
These are my puppy's favorite treats! We use them as the "high value" treat in puppy school. When we are training we can easily break them up into smaller pieces, or if he is being really good we will give him a whole one. His whole body wags in happiness after getting one of these.


High quality, healthy, cheap snack for dogs

by GH from on 2010-06-27
This is a great treat for dogs made from high quality meat (venison). They are half the price of the comparable Wellness Pure Rewards venison snacks, which are impossible to find. The Zukes are great, but the jerky is in the form of big strips, so you have to tear away smaller bits for treats---this is easy to do though.


Dogs LOVE em!

by B. Betts from Ann Arbor, MI United States on 2010-06-15
Wonderful treat, one of my dog's favorite! Smells so good YOU will want to eat it! LOL Great for finicky little dogs.


My dog's favorite treat.

by Carla J. Bassett from Alaska on 2010-06-10
He is spoiled rotten and now I have to get his treats on amazon or pay a lot more for the same thing here, so we get them on amazon. My dog gives five paws.


Tasty dog treat made in the USA

by Aungie from Alexandria, USA on 2010-01-23
Our Bichon likes all the Zuke treats we've given him and he's been eating them for a few years. However, he loves these chicken Z-filets! We break up the filets since he's a small dog and they're high protein as well. They're natural and made in the USA. I've looked through Petsmart several times looking for made in the USA, natural, good-for-dog treats and the selection is very small. So Zuke's is a great find.

good quick breakfast

by Lee B. Morris from Miller Place, NY United States on 2010-09-01
I love these bars, they make a great breakfast that I can eat in the car on those mornings when I don't have time to sit at the table. Good chocolatey flavor. I was surprised that my kids don't like them - said they taste chalky. That's ok - they have their bars and I have mine!


Good but could be better

by Harry Grace c/o Current Electric from on 2010-08-30
Delivery was fast, flavor is good. Being sugar free is a big plus for me, but the center is not white and I found no chips ! The White is a very thin layer on the outside. Still good but no quite what I expected


Think Thin Bars

by Anthony Martino from on 2010-08-26
These bars are shipped via the U.S. Post Office. When I buy them in a store such as Whole Foods, they are fresh and the outer coatings intact. When I bought them through Amazon, the outer coatings were melted and in some cases stuck to the inside of the wrappers. It is not a case where they were left in a mailbox all day. My mailman handed them to me, along with the other mail. Don't buy this product from Amazon, pay a little more and get a good product.


Tastes like cardboard.

by Severino Nappi from PORTLAND, ME, US on 2010-08-24
The product has very little white chocolate and tastes like cardboard. I tasted one bar and threw the other nine out.


Surprised to LOVE IT!!! Tastes really good.

by Elite_and_sweet from on 2010-08-22
Okay so I ordered every flavor of these during the summer sale in June were most of the flavors $12, and if you signed up "Subscribe and Save" they were $10.50 each. So, I will be putting up reviews as I open each box. They have been in the fridge (keeps me from random snacking) and I opened Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Mudslide, and Mixed Nuts & White Chocolate last night. I am 5'3" and 118 and I try to add some protein to my diet with bars like this. My review will only be for the Dark Chocolate (others on the appropriate product pages.) I will start with what EVERYONE really cares about: TASTE! These bar tasted incredible to me!!!! Thick, rich, dark chocolate, chewy consistency, NO chemical taste, sweet but not too sweet. I read the nutrient profile and the ingredient list, and I am really pleased with the ingredient quality. This is what attracted me to the product. It is sugar free, gluten free, and wheat free. This is great for those watching their waistline. On the other hand, it has a pretty sizeable fat content. This one has 7 grams of fat. So just be aware of that when including in your diet, too many of these and you WILL gain weight! The protein is excellent!!! (20 grams), as much as a small chicken breast. (Although chicken breast doesn't have this much fat.) The sodium isn't bad (125 mg). There are 14 net carbs, which subtract out the fiber and sugar alcohols (the sugar alcohols are in debate as to whether your body burns them as calories or not.) The calories, fat, protein, and carbs are equal to: a large plain green salad, 3 oz chicken breast, 3 cups broccoli, 1/2 tablespoon oil, and a cup of berries. So I say that to illustrate that this is definitely a healthy MEAL REPLACEMENT for those on the go and really has TOO MANY calories for a full bar to be a snack. If you plan on snacking, break it in half and eat half for an afternoon snack, and half for a nighttime snack. If you do it this way, these bars are actually a very smart, thoughtfully balanced, and highly convenient, delicious snack. That is the most effective way to use these bars. They do not really have enough fiber to eat as a meal replacement because you will be hungry in less than four hours after eating. If you do use as a meal replacement, add a broth soup and a large green salad with low-cal dressing, or veggies (most grocery stores sell washed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots that you can eat on the go.) Another way to incorporate these DELICIOUS bars into your routine is a breakfast. Perfect for on the go and it's hard to eat more before lunch even if you do get hungry (which most people don't get very hungry before lunch.) So in summary: EXCELLENT ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS; DELICIOUS, DECADENT FLAVOR (as good as a candy bar); CONVENIENT PACKAGING; GREAT VITAMIN & MINERAL PROFILE (you'll still need a comprehensive multivitamin daily); CONVENIENT SOURCE OF PROTEIN; GREAT SNACK (if you eat half as a snack or the other half later in the day as a snack.) THE PRICE IS RIGHT too based on Amazon's deal vs. in store pricing on these bars. They are very expensive in retail stores, Amazon is selling them almost 50% off. Helpful hint: if you sign up for Subscribe & Save, you get the best price. You can set your shipments to every six months, and even if you don't want them then, you can delay shipment. The point is, you really never have to buy more later in order to get the best price now. You can keep deferring shipment. Not saying that to scam Amazon, just saying that may help more people be willing to try a delicious bar if the price is right. I hope this review helped you make a purchasing decision, either for or against the product. I know I hate to waste my money, and I wanted to give a honest review.

Best Protien bar I've found yet! Tastes great too!

by chileheadcraig from Clearwater, FL on 2009-02-25
I have been on a diet for about 3 months now and needed to branch out to get some variety in my protien intake. I set a personal limit on calories/g protien at 10 or less to make sure I was getting the best bang for the calorie. These meet that criteria (270-290 cal for 30 g protien) and they taste awesome! I'm talking snickers good! I've tried the Double Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter and the Yogurt Peanut Crunch and they are all great! I'll keep buying these for sure. If you bargain shop, I was able to get a variety pack of these from Sams club for a great price (less than a buck each). Enjoy!

Ok if you need gluten free, otherwise I would pass

by A. Gray from Central IL on 2010-08-30
I bought a couple boxes of these (Creamy Peanut Butter) when Amazon had them on their gold box deals. I was looking for a protein bar to use after strength training workouts and thought I would give these a try after seeing some reviews. Wow, I am surprised these get as high of reviews as they do. Don't get me wrong, these bars have a place for those who need gluten-free or for those looking for a meal replacement and don't want to feel hungry, but if you are looking for a protein bar, there are much better choices out there that taste 20 times better. I'm guessing there are also better tasting bars out there for meal replacement, but I haven't been in search of that so don't know.These bars are somewhat waxy on the outside (faux chocolate seems like), but I was willing to overlook this as a lot of protein bars on the market suffer from a similar fate. It didn't help that these had overheated at some point in Amazon's hands and the outside was chalky but other than looks, this didn't matter so much. The inside of this bar, well.....it just leaves a funky after taste (distinctly whey protein). It wasn't different than the protein bars I had tried five years ago, but it's nowhere near some of the other protein bars on the market. I didn't find the bar disgusting although I've seen reviews on the Internet where many people couldn't eat them. I could eat it without thinking it was horrible, but I found at times that I just keep eating and eating and the bar never disappeared...seemed a chore to keep eating. It is an extremely filling bar thus why I recommend possibly for meal replacement. Since it has 230 calories, it was a little too much for me to eat as a post workout snack. I have found that I can buy Pure Protein bars that have the same amount of protein and range from 180 to 200 calories however they are slightly smaller bars (1.76oz). The taste of the Pure Protein peanut bars is the closest thing I've tasted to an actual candy bar without a lot of sugar (they have 2g). I find it hard to believe people say the ThinkThin Creamy Peanut Butter bars are like a candy bar....wow, I think perhaps people need to try some other bars for comparison because you don't really know what to expect until you've tried a few others.If you need gluten-free or are looking for a meal replacement, these are ok, but I think you can do better with other products. I'm looking forward to finishing up my last box of these so I can start eating my Pure Protein Revolution Chocolate Peanut Caramel bars and actual enjoy eating them and get less calories with the same amount of protein.


Horrible, Horrible Quality

by Jamie from on 2010-08-28
I love Think Thin bars and have ordered them many times before. The ones I bought from Amazon were HORRIBLE! The chocolate was literally a grey color - as if they are expired or old. I thought the price was too good to be true and it definitely was.


Yuck!

by Wanda Adkison from Houston, TX on 2010-08-26
These were so bad, i didn't even get half-way through the bar. I've been told perhaps it was because of a bad shipment from Amazon, but they were gritty, and had a terrible chemical aftertaste.


Chocolate showed evidence of sitting in the heat for too long

by sphilips from on 2010-08-23
I love these little bars. The creamy peanut butter is delicious! However, ordering 10 of them from Amazon.com is not going to work for me. The bars had obviously sat in the heat, the chocolate had turned white and the peanut butter filling was dried out. Very disappointing, as they were much cheaper than buying them at Trader Joe's.


Taste Great!

by Megan S. Roberts from Virginia on 2010-08-17
These can be hard to find, and taste GREAT- so good that Amazon can deliver them so I dont have to worry about finding them or running out! Packed with protein and NO SUGAR! Check out [...] for more details!
