Always searching for another snack? Try adding more protein to your diet! This super satisfying macro-nutrient will help you feel full for hours. Whether you’re fueling up for the day ahead or taking a mid-day snack break to ward off those afternoon munchies, high-protein snacks are the best way to keep you going. Snacks with protein give you longer-lasting energy than carb-heavy options, like humongous bagels and muffins, which leave you ravenous just a short while later. **Health.com:**[10 High-Protein Breakfast Recipes](http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20692801,00.html?xid=Time-protein-062314) Here are 10 protein-packed (and portable!) snacks that make it easy to stay satisfied. **Mixed nuts** Mixed nuts are a very convenient way to get some protein (and healthy fats). Read up on the best and worst nuts, then try adding dried fruit and seeds for a delicious, homemade trail mix. **Health.com:**[19 Best and Worst Nuts for Your Health](http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20585485,00.html?xid=Time-protein-062314) **Hard-boiled eggs** Eggs are an inexpensive and nutritious way to fuel up when you’re famished. Boil a half dozen at the beginning of the week for easy on-the-go snacking. **Edamame with sea salt** One cup of edamame pods has about 7 grams of protein. Sprinkle on a little sea salt on them to satisfy a salt craving! **Beef or turkey jerky** Beef and turkey jerky are super travel-friendly and guaranteed to keep you satisfied. Just make sure the one you pick isn’t too high in sodium. One of my favorite all-natural brands is KRAVE Jerky. **Greek yogurt with high-fiber cereal** The combination of protein-packed Greek yogurt and high-fiber cereal is both delicious and filling. The two together will ward off hunger pangs for hours. **Health.com:**[30 Healthiest Superfoods for Women](http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20331905,00.html?xid=Time-protein-062314) **Turkey and cheese roll-ups** Smear a wedge of spreadable cheese on a few slices of turkey and roll it up. Just like that you have a deliciously satisfying snack. **Salt & vinegar roasted chickpeas** Beans are a great way to add both protein and fiber to your diet and chickpeas are easy to use. These salt & vinegar roasted chickpeas are to die for and are easily transportable for on-the-go snacking. **Protein smoothie** This delicious Power Berry Smoothie has 9 gram of protein and is loaded with antioxidants. Whip it up before heading out the door. **Health.com:**[13 Foods That Are Saltier Than You Realize](http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20785388,00.html?xid=Time-protein-062314) **Cottage cheese and fruit** Cottage cheese is loaded with protein, so even just a small portion will fill you up. Try it with fresh berries or pineapple chunks. **Peanut butter and banana sandwich** Nut butters are my go-to when it comes to portable and filling snacks. I love to spread them on two slices of bread with banana slices.
