Crunchy Savory Protein Snack

Having delicious go-to snacks on hand are so important when on the ultimate lifestyle transformation program. I always have a few staple ones on hand, something savoury, sweet and something indulgent but still healthy.

This protein mix is as savoury as it gets. it’s incredibly satisfying when you have the munchies and if you’re all about the crunch factor, like me, then they will totally hit the spot!

It’s so easy to have on hand to pull from as needed. You can simply pack them in your reusable ziplock bag and be out the door in seconds! No mess, no cooler needed and since they’re protein rich they’ll keep you feeling satisfied longer.

I like to double the recipe and keep them in an airtight glass jar in my pantry and this way I have them always on hand. Did I mention they’re super easy to make? That’s always the first factor I think about when making a recipe, they absolutely must be simple and easy!

This protein snack is:
