With Labor Day just around the corner, Summer is unfortunately coming to an end. In preparation for school starting and offices re-opening, we thought we’d share some of our favorite high-protein snacks that are perfect for school lunches or a midday office snack!

Pair each snack with a cup of BuzzFit HOT Coffee + Protein or our new ICED protein coffee for an added 10g of protein. Together, they’re sure to keep you energized, focused and ready to take on those busy Fall days. 

Here are our 7 favorite recipes that are delicious, easy to make, cost-effective and healthy alternatives for store bought snacks!

1) HOMEMADE HIGH PROTEIN SWEET & SALTY TRAIL MIX

Everyone loves a good trail mix. Instead of buying a pre-made mix at the grocery store, opt for this homemade recipe that calls for almonds, cashews, coconut flakes and chocolate chips instead. Make a big batch on Sunday night to last the whole week.
