| Does the perfect high-fiber,
high-protein snack exist?
Only plant-based foods have
fiber, so your protein will be from
a plant source if you are looking
for a single food to do the job. The
lowly legume is probably your best
choice, so something such as roasted
soybeans would make a great
high-protein, high-fiber snack.
However, plenty of combination
foods or combinations of foods could
also fill your needs. For example,
many sports bars on the market are
high in both protein and fiber, for
example, the Clif Bar. You can make
your own fast, high-protein and
high-fiber snacks too.
Here are some ideas that fit the
bill:
1. Hummus spread on whole-wheat
crackers or a whole-grain bagel
2. A quick bowl of whole-grain
cereal with milk and berries
3. Peanut butter on apple slices
4. Homemade bran muffins made
with milk and eggs
5. A fruit smoothie made with
plain yogurt and fruits
6. Celery dipped in low-fat
cottage cheese
7. Yogurt sprinkled with granola
