Morning Protein Snacks
• Cheese on a stone-wheat or other whole-grain cracker
• Cottage cheese
• Yoghurt
• Cashew butter or almond butter - can serve on toast, crackers, celery sticks or apple slices
• Turkey or chicken on a cracker or toast (or by itself)
• Tuna served as above (also sardines, herring, mackerel...)
• Egg salad (organic eggs)
• Avocado
• Combinations, e.g. a tuna melt with avocado
• Mozzarella cheese (e.g. with balsamic vinegar and basil leaves,
or on crackers)
Whole grain breads have some protein, but bread is predominantly a carbohydrate food. Thus, where toast is suggested above, think in terms of just one piece, e.g. an open faced sandwich.
As you may notice, these snacks also contain fats. Provided additives and processing are avoided, this fits perfectly with the body's morning digestive rhythms. If not otherwise contraindicated, mild saltiness is also quite appropriate for a morning snack.
