5 Low Calorie Snacks for the Busy Professionals to Enjoy While On-the-Go

These suggestions fill you up without bogging you down.

If there is one thing that’s for certain, it’s that you’re always pressed for time and looking for solutions that make things easier for yourself. As a busy professional on-the-go, time is money. You don’t have a second to spare most days which is why the snacks that you consume need to be healthy and convenient. If they’re portable, that’s a plus too, because you can grab them and walk out the door without much thought.

Here are five low calorie snacks for you to enjoy wherever you go:

1. Protein Poppers. Protein Poppers are natural, great-tasting and provide a protein snack that's bursting with flavor without the junk and fillers. Each bag is 120 calories, 10 net carbs and 9 grams of protein.This snack delivers a satisfying crunch like potato chips.
2. Zipper Snacks. Much like the protein beans, it’s our take on a crispy snack. One bag of this satisfying snack is only 150 calories and has 15 grams of protein. They come in varieties such as Chipotle BBQ, Salt & Vinegar, and Sour Cream & Fine Herb. You don’t need to give up everything you love to snack on while on the go, but instead, find substitutes that are better for you!

3. Protein Crisps. Our crisps are a gluten free, crispy, and a tasty treat. Each individual bag packs 16g to 18g of protein, 4 net carbs and with only 120 calories per bag. With three flavor options to choose from Barbeque, Ranch and Salted Caramel.

4. Tortilla Chips. If you love Doritos, you can enjoy Proti Nacho Cheese flavored protein chips instead. At 140 calories per bag, there isn’t the guilt that comes with scarfing down a bag of the major brand’s cheesy snack. You get 18 to 19 grams of protein and a baked snack not fried one to munch on.
5. Strawberry Banana Gelatin. Our Strawberry Banana Gelatin is a low calorie/low carb treat. This is a great way enjoy something sweet but contains zero added sugars. Providing 15 grams of protein, 2 net carbs and just 70 calories, this satisfying gelatin could soon become your new fruity alternative to your evening snack.

Snacks can be enjoyable and healthy. With ProteinWise, you can enjoy full-flavored, nutritious foods and beverages without the guilt. You’re not stuck waiting it out until the next meal, either. You can eat a snack whenever you want and know that you’re getting a good amount of protein per serving when you do. 

Low calorie doesn’t mean deprivation. What it does mean, however, is that you conscientiously choose to eat one type of snack over another. Keeping a supply of delicious items on hand to take with you to school or work prevents you from breaking down and buying food from the vending machine or convenience store to munch on. Enjoy!
