P
rotein is an essential part of any diet; it keeps energy up, repairs muscles
that have been worn down from exercise and exertion, and satiates hun-
ger to make you feel fuller, longer. The standard high-protein options tend
to come in bar or even powder form, but as our taste for new and unique
foods evolves, so does our need for something beyond the norm. While the
typical protein-rich foods—think chicken and nuts—continue to get creative,
plant-based protein is also making an appearance in products from bean
pasta to "fish" sliders. Even cook-
ies (yes, cookies!), can be
packed with protein.
Here is a sampling
of some of the
new forms of
high-protein
snacks.
