Not sure if anyone else in the same boat, but I am always trying to find more options for high protein, low carb, low sodium snacks- particularly for late evening. Of course a serving of whey protein with almond milk is an obvious choice, but it can get boring pretty quick and I typically try to limit the amount of whey protein I take in to one serving a day. Plain unsweetened greek yogurt and low salt cottage cheese are both about as bland as it gets. I sometimes get Source greek yogurt, which is lower in carbs than others, but still packs about 20grams of sugar in a 250g tub.
Deli meat and beef jerky are packed with salt. I know jack links just came out with a low sodium beef jerky, but not really reasonable at $7 a pack. I will often cut up a roasted chicken or two from safeways and store the meat in tupperware for snacking.
Quest bars have been a go to option for me for some time, but like many people, I am a little sceptical of the protein quality and quantity in protein bars. While most whey powders will list the amino acid breakdown per serving, there really is no way of knowing if protein bars are full of useless aminos like taurine and glycine. Anyway, if there is one thing protein bars are not, it is low carb.
Anyway, any additional suggestions for high protein, low sodium snacks?
