A few readers have asked me for high-protein snack ideas that are vegetarian or/and vegan friendly. I wanted to showcase a range of snacks that go beyond a protein smoothie (although that’s an excellent protein snack for vegetarians).
For this collection, I focused on variety – there are dips and spreads, easy savory slices and wraps, sweet bites for when you need a treat that hit the spot. Many of these can be turned into a lunch meal by adding extra veggies or a salad.
