Protein-Rich Snacks for Whole30 Dieters

Protein-Rich Snacks for Whole30 Dieters

Whole30 is an extremely effective diet plan that not only helps you lose weight but also helps you change your lifestyle and feel rejuvenated in the process. At the same time, it restricts you from consuming a lot of different types of foods.

Protein bars are healthy options that allow you to receive the required nutrients. You can find several protein bars for sale in the market by numerous brands, but it is best to prepare them at home. This way, you can be sure that these simple snacks for the Whole30 diet are free of additives and preservatives. With these recipes, you can be sure that you don’t have the task of reading the labels of the store-bought bars carefully lest you end up consuming anything that the diet plan restricts:

  • Cashew chocolate energy protein balls
    This is not just simple but also a delectable snack for the Whole30 diet. To prepare this protein snack at home, you need raw or toasted cashews, pure egg white protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, about 18 large Medjool dates soaked in warm water, and a little water.
    The preparation process requires you to put the cashews, egg white protein, and cocoa powder into the food processor and process them until the nuts are broken into small pieces. Then, add the soaked and pitted dates and make a dry mixture. Pour in just a tablespoon of water as the processor operates. After this, scoop the mixture and roll it into balls with your hand. Bake these balls properly, and your cashew chocolate energy protein balls are ready. Store them in an airtight container before freezing. The snacks remain fresh and good to eat for as long as 3-4 months.
  • Cacao coffee protein bars
    You need the same ingredients for this recipe, so take nuts, egg white protein powder, Medjool dates, water, and instant coffee powder and cacao powder as additions. Keep your baking dish all set and cover it with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can use a silicone square pan. Blend the dry powder ingredients in a food processor. When the mixture turns coarse, add the dates and water and process until the dates break down. Keep adding a tablespoon of water at a time until the protein bar dough looks and feels smooth. Keep in mind that less water will make the bar sticky and chewy.
    Once done, transfer the mixture to the already set baking tray and flatten with damp hands to get an even layer. Then, bake it for about 1 hour and slice into squares. One of the healthiest yet simple snacks for the Whole30 diet is ready to be enjoyed.
  • Pineapple mango protein bar
    This is probably the easiest of all snacks to prepare at home when you’re on the Whole30 diet. You need the same ingredients, along with dried and unsweetened mango and pineapple. First, process the nuts with the egg white protein powder in a food processor, and then add the soaked dates and dried fruits to the bowl. Add some water for the mixture to come together and put it into the pan for baking. Voila! A delicious protein-rich snack is ready.
