3 simple snacks I've been loving while trying to eat more protein

high protein french onion dip:

• 1/2 cup plain skyr

• 1/2 pack onion soup mix

• 1 tsp white vinegar

• chives for garnish (optional)

• Veggies for dipping

Mix everything these together, top with chopped chives (totally optional but looks nice), and serve with veggies to dip. This is great right away but gets even better after it sits in the fridge for a bit.

Prep: slice up your favorite veggies and make a big tub of this at the start of the week to have a great savory snack all week. Best within 3 days but still great for up to about a week.

cottage cheese bowls:

• 1/2 cup cottage cheese

• 1 Persian cucumber

• about 6 cherry tomatoes

• Lemon + salt + chili crisp to garnish

• Crackers to dip (optional)

Assemble your bowl with cottage cheese, and top with very finely diced cucumber and cherry tomatoes (or any other veggie you like). Drizzle with a squeeze of lemon, salt, and chili crisp. Eat as is, or use your favorite crackers to dip.

Prep: slice your cucumbers and tomatoes so they’re ready to go to make assembly easier throughout the week.

egg salad toast:

• 3 jammy hard-boiled eggs

• 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp plain skyr

• salt and pepper

• 1 slice toast

• everything but the bagel seasoning and/or fresh herbs (I used dill) to garnish

For perfectly jammy eggs, boil a pot of water. Once boiling, add eggs in for 7 minutes and then move to an ice bath (a bowl with ice and cold water). Once cooled, peel and add to a bowl, add dijon, skyr and salt and pepper and mash together. Spoon onto your favorite toast and finish with EBTB seasoning and/or fresh herbs.

Prep: I like to boil a bunch of eggs at the beginning of the week and leave them in the fridge for snacking or making this. They’ll be good for up to a week in the fridge.
