I had quite a few people ask me for vegetarian friendly protein snack ideas since I mentioned that one way to help combat intense sugar cravings is to eat some protein every two hours. This was advice from my naturopathic doctor and it really did help me. I also included some vegan friendly ideas. I only included Protein info but I linked each snack to its nutritional information so you can get all the info if you like. Enjoy!
- Nut butters: Peanut: 2Tbsp = 8g Protein, Cashew: 2Tbsp = 5g Protein, or Almond: 2Tbsp = 8g Protein on top of Jicama, Brown rice cracker, or Pear slices
Amy's brand Organic Vegetarian Baked Beans: 1/2 cup = 6g Protein
- Protein Shake (This is vegan friendly too): One packet of Vega Complete Whole Food Meal Replacement in Chocolate, Berry, or Natural flavor + 1/2 cup water, rice or hemp milk. One packet is 22g or 1/3 serving for 25g Protein. The protein source is hemp. This Vega Meal Replacement is normally sold in containers as well as packets in stores. Find a local store. The Vega line of products is the brainchild of vegan Triathlete Brendan Brazier.
- Alvardo Street brand Organic Sprouted Spelt Bagel: One bagel = 7g Protein with 1inch cube of Extra Sharp White Cheddar Cheese = 7g Protein

Smart Deli (All Deli Meats listed are Certified Vegan. Deli "meats" are made from Wheat Gluten and Soy Protein) Roast Turkey: 2 slices = 7g Protein, Bologna: 2 slices = 7g Protein, Baked Ham: 2 slices = 6g Protein, Santa Fe Chicken: 2 slices = 7g Protein, rolled up with a sliver of avocado, Colby Jack cheese, or Brie (cheese options for vegetarians).
