Snacks..

I eat a fairly decent diet, I think, but I need to cut back on the protein bars which usually help me through the day. Low in sugar, but there's still a bunch of stuff in there I shouldn't be eating.
What are healthy alternatives you all eat? Nuts and seeds don't seem to digest well, so I need something else. If there's anything healthy that might satisfy my sweet tooth, even better..

Blue corn chips and salsa. Best if made with coconut oil or a good oil. I like plantain chips too and are probably better for a sweet tooth. Been having some chocolate, hazelnut butter too. Halo top ice cream.

You could make your own protein bars with whey powder. But not as easy as buying them

Wilson also mentioned blue tortilla chips as a snack, btw.

Heh.. Tried it last year. Took me a while to make and even longer to clean up. I'm lazy..

The more sweet you will eat the more sweet you will crave.. But I would say some protein bar like Quest Bar is ok..

Cottage Cheese with apple sauce or grapes

Icelandic Provisions "Skyr" (Icelandic Yogurt) ...filling and awesome. Better than Greek Yogurt. 15 Grams of Protein and exotic Scandinavian berries. The best!

2 scoops whey (~36gr) + 1 egg, mix and bake into pancakes. Delicious! Personally use chocolate whey.

Heh the biggest benefits except easy digestibility is that whey protein is not denatured like other protein foods that we eat. So it is not a good idea to heat up whey protein lol.. Make pancakes just with eggs or egg whites with some oat/buckwheat flour or something and you can add flavored whey protein on top of it like nutella if you have chocolate flavor. You add to whey protein little amount of water(or coconut milk or whatever) and make something like cream. You can also froze this and make ice cream. I was doing things like this during my bodybuilding days all the time.

Really? I never knew that. I was reading online a bit and people said it was OK if not heated too long

When I’m eating healthy, I snack on blue corn chips and eat maple almond butter when I want something sweet. The maple almond butter has palm oil though...not sure if that is ok or bad(?). When I’m not eating healthy, I eat dark chocolate. I crave dark chocolate.

I am not saying that cooking with whey protein is not OK. I am just saying that whey protein is not denatured. It is like when you have raw unpasteurized milk. Why you would denature that raw milk? Just use some regular pasteurized milk from the supermarket for cooking and the raw milk use for raw consumption..

Palm oil is ok. Red palm oil is even better. It is like coconut oil. omega 9 and saturated fats are ok like butter, olive/coconut/palm/macadamia/avocado oils. But don't use vegetable oils full of omega 6..

Just tried it. Taste is definitely decent and easy to make. Needs something to make it less dry, though..

I use either sugarfree syrup or some butter and a little stevia. Sometimes put strawberries on
