Beef jerky

Choose the kind that is low in sodium is a great protein-booster.

Nut butter

Nut butter can be used in combination with a variety of snacks. It is rich in protein. Buy products with little or no added salt or sugar. Granola in its loose form is a fiber-rich snack. Add milk for extra protein.

Wholefood granola bars

Watch out for brands with lots of additives. Dark chocolate gives the body a magnesium boost.
