Protein snacks for kids...on the go or at home?
I’m always on the lookout for good snacks that are high in protein, keep kids full, and are tasty enough that they'll actually choose to eat them over something else. Let's share our go-to healthy protein snacks for kids, either for on-the-go situations or quick at-home bites in between meals. What easy protein foods go over well with your family?

Peanut butter. By itself, on a sandwich, with sliced fruits - it’s a delicious work horse in the protein department!

Hard boiled eggs. We will hard boil maybe 6-8 on Sunday for my teen to eat throughout the week. Stinks up the fridge, but worth it! (And actually, when I store them in a container with a lid it’s not so bad.)

Deli turkey is a good protein food that we usually have in the fridge. My kids will just roll up a piece and eat it for a snack.

Edamame is a good source of protein and fiber, so I like to keep it in the house for snacking. Costco has bags in the freezer section that you can steam in the microwave, but we also really like crunchy roasted edamame from "The Only Bean" because it comes in different fun flavors and is easy to pack for school snacks.
