In addition, they are very convenient, easy to take around so you can simply reach for them whenever you are hungry.

The all time favorite, peanut butter sandwich

Just have the peanut butter, and forget about the jelly. Peanut butter is always high in protein since nuts are protein rich. Jelly, on the other hand, is just added to spice up the taste. If you really want to add the jelly, go ahead but make sure you put in just a bit.

Cottage Cheese with Pineapple

This snack has long been popular with strength trainers because of its high protein content as well as its pleasant taste.
