The best thing you can do for your fitness and nutrition goals is to think ahead. If I find myself hangry, the last thing I want to do is cook or grocery shop. On the weeks that I prep ahead some snacks to keep in the fridge, I make much better choices! Pick a few of these high-protein snacks to prep ahead for your week and thank me later!

High-Protein Ranch Dip

It’s perfect for dipping veggies, spreading on wraps, and meal prepping to keep your snack game strong all week long. A dip that seriously goes with everything. Make it once and I swear you’ll never go back to store-bought versions!


High-Protein Hummus

Homemade with chickpeas, cottage cheese, and tahini, loaded with fresh toppings, and ready in just 10 minutes. It’s perfect for snacks, parties, or anytime you want a bright and fun dish that tastes just as good as it looks.


Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Balls

Bridger and I love these because they taste amazing and are so versatile – we keep a stash handy in our fridge for those “grab & go” moments, pack them up for the best road trip snack, and I’ve even brought them to family & friend gatherings as a nutrient-dense nibble.


Fluffy lemon poppy seed protein muffins made with almond flour and topped with a homemade coconut butter glaze.

High-Protein Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

Soft, fluffy, and drizzled with the dreamiest lemon glaze, these are a must. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, and taste like heaven. Prepare to be obsessed!


Avo Egg Salad

Prep your hard boiled eggs for the week, and then when hanger hits whip up this 5-minute egg salad. It hits the spot every time!


Starbucks Copycat Egg Bites

They’re made with simple, clean ingredients (no preservatives or fillers), packed with protein from pasture-raised eggs and cottage cheese, and full of that fluffy, cheesy flavor we all love. Oh my gosh, you guys — they’re truly the perfect high-protein prep ahead snack.
